    Description

    From the estate of an Arkansas politician, a flyer for a meeting on April 20, 1948 earnestly requesting attendance to hear speakers from 11 counties and Gov. Ben Laney on opposing (President Truman's) Civil Rights Program. About 10" x 7".
    President Truman's program provided Federal protection against lynching, protected the right to vote, prevented discrimination in employment, and more. Ben Laney was a top choice for the states rights Dixiecrats nomination for President but withdrew and opened the way for Strom Thurmond.
    Excellent condition. An important piece of civil rights history and a superb addition to any collection. Displays really well.
    I ship every day the post office is open with your item safely packed for protection. I always combine shipping. Please see my store for other museum quality artifacts of history.
