description: Pamphlet describing the work of the Virginia League for Planned Parenthood. Cover art by Corporal Percy Lee. [Image description: The image on the pamphlet above the text is a drawing of a mother on her deathbed sourounded by her four children.] Transcription: "This Mother is Dying Because She Wasn't Well Enough to Have Her Last Baby Perhaps she was already exhausted from too frequent or complicated pregnancies. Perhaps she had developed tuberculosis, anemia, heart or kidney diseses which made it dangerous for her to have more children, yet, as in so many cases, no advice was given. Though all she asked was to be able to care for her living children and hold her home together, her life is forfeited. Planned Parenthood measures, under medical direction, can reduce our high maternal and infant death rates, ensure better health for the mother and child, and bring better living conditions for the family. Planned Parenthood can also reduce the number of transmissable and hereditary diseases in the next generation.

Popular Fallacies About Race Relations
description: A pamphlet addressing resistance from white Americans to racial integration. Written by the Educational Director of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation. The writer, Robert B. Eleazer, refutes the "Curse of Ham" as a justification for slavery or servitude. He also argues against popular fallacies such as "the Negro is all right in his place;" "no genuine Negro ever showed real intelligence or abillity;" "the Negro has no worthy part in American history;" "Negroes want to break down the social line between the races;" and the idea of racial superiority. Excerpt: "Nobody knows which is the superior race--or whether there be one. All we can say is that we differ in physical characteristics and in degree and kind of development....It behooves us all to be humble; to remember that we are all human beings, with mutual obligations of respect and good will."

Position of Farm Workers in Federal and State Legislation
description: This pamphlet, written by Robin Myers and published by the National Advisory Committee on Farm Labor, describes the rights of migrant farm workers in the late 1950s. This excerpt describes the conditions and the rights of child workers at both the state and national legislative levels. The National Advisory Committee on Farm Labor (NACFL) grew out of the work of the National Sharecroppers Fund. The NACFL was organized in 1958 as a fact-finding, reporting agency whose goal was to build public awareness of the substandard living and working conditions of farm laborers. (Reuther Library, n.d.) Leaders included Eleanor Roosevelt, Socialist party presidental candidate Norman Thomas, Catholic Archbishop Robert Emmet Lucey, Rabbi Eugene Lipman of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, Presbyterian theologian Dr. John A. Mackay, and Tuskegee Institute president, Dr. L. H. Foster (Hazelton, 2017). In 1958 and 1964, the NACFL held public hearings on farm labor and rural poverty. The agency dissolved in 1968. Excerpts: p. 34 "Children of migrant agricultural workers suffer from all the disadvantages and disabilities that handicap the whole migrant community -- unusual health hazards, inadequate food and housing due to low income level, lack of stable family life, and rejection by the community. In addition, two aspects of the migrant situation particularly affect the children and their future. The first is the common use of child workers, both legally and illegally. The second is their deprivation of such educational opportunities as would enable them to make their own lives an improvement over those of their parents." p. 35 "'Many of the Nation's farms do not come under the provisions of these Federal Acts. Only 6 States, 3 Territories, and the District of Columbia expressly provide a minimum age for agricultural work outside school hours, and only 13 States, 2 Territories, and the District of Columbia expressly provide a minimum age during school hours.'"

Program of the World Union of National Socialists [American Nazi Party handbill]
description: Two-sided handbill setting out the beliefs and purpose of the World Union of National Socialists. Signed by Lincoln Rockwell, Commander, American Nazi Party, this document states the organization's belief that Marxism is a religion promoted by the Jews. The first side of this handbill sets out a Creed, while the reverse gives an "American Program," listing actions that will be undertaken to solve various perceived problems. Using hyperbolic language to appeal to readers' sense of heroism, this manifesto states, "The only doctrine capable of such a heroic task -- the only doctrine with the proven power to fire the minds and hearts of millions of men to fight and CONQUER Jewish Bolshevism, is National Socialism -- the doctrine of IDEALISM -- the SACRIFICE of the selfish, ingrown EGO for the good of one's fellows -- the stuff of all great religions.... Therefore, we announce our purpose to be nothing less than a world-wide effort to free humanity from Jewish domination and subversion in all their forms, and the creation of the idealistic, racially realistic, socially progressive, international world ORDER which we must have, if we are to remain masters of our own planet. To this world-wide goal, we solemnly pledge our lives."

Religious and Social Aspect of the Suffrage Movement
description: Essay, published in pamphlet form, which sets forth the religious and social foundations of the woman suffrage movement. The essay begins: Page 1: "There is in the suffrage movement a religious element, a deep strain of spirituality and altruism, which gives it a peculiar moral significance, and fully justifies faith in its ultimate vindication." Page 4: "The Christian world is awakening as never before to its social duties. Followers of Christ are becomming more keenly alive to the necessity for social service if His teachings are really to regenerate and redeem mankind. The terms "social betterment" and "social uplift" are daily becoming more familiar." Page 14: "Under our present chaotic and unequal state of affairs, it is the duty of each individual to earnestly seek the causes and resulting in the flagrant abuses and wrongs going on about us, and to expend every effort in their re-adjustment. This should be as fully a part of our religion as the performance of any other obligation, and it is with just such a spirit that women all over the world have thrown heart and soul into the suffrage cause, believing that it is one of the forst steps towards a more equitable arrangement of society." Page 19: "Let us awake to the needs of the world about us, to a sense of our individual responsibility in meeting those needs, and to our opportunities for serving God and man."

Reply of Rev. Mr. Haven
description: Manuscript of article published in The Liberator on March 29, 1861 (p.51). This article by William Lloyd Garrison is a critique of Reverend Gilbert Haven's reply to another article published in the Liberator, which criticized a letter Haven sent to the newspaper about a Thanksgiving sermon he gave and was an attack on the Garrison-Phillips brand of abolitionism. Reverse sides of nine of these manuscript pages are also written on: some of these pages seem to be part of a longer essay, while other pages are old tables of contents. Most of these reverse pages are illegible due to ink bleeding through the paper. None of the reverse pages were scanned.

Report of the Legislative Commission For the Blind, 1920-21 [Commonwealth of Virginia]
description: A report made to the Governor and Members of the General Assembly of Virginia by the first Commission for the Blind. The report's Appendix includes: Resolutions adopted by the Virginia Association of Workers for the Blind in Convention Assembled: 1) Resolved: That the work for the blind in Virginia should be co-ordinated under a single permanent commission who should have general direction of the work of prevention of blindness, industrial rehabilitation, placement, home teaching, etc. 2) WHEREAS, The Virginia School for the Deaf and Blind at Staunton is at present crowded to capacity in attempting to care for the instruction of both the Deaf and the Blind, and Whereas, recent investigations have shown that the number of children in the State of the two classes who are not receiving an education is probably as great as those who are now in attendance at the school, and Whereas, the methods of instruction of the two groups are so radically different as to require separate groups of teachers, and complete duplication of class rooms, study halls, text books, and apparatus, involving indeed the maintenance of the separate schools within the same institution, Therefore be it recolved, that we are convinced that the interest of both classes will be promoted by complete separation of the schools. (Signed) H. J. Taylor, Chairman, Staunton, Va. Senator S. L. Ferguson, Appomattox, Va. L. L. Watts, Secretary, Staunton, Va.
