Artifact Overview
In 1931, nine black youths were unjustly accused of raping two white women in Alabama. White juries quickly convicted and sentenced eight of the defendants to death. Members of the International Labor Defense, the legal arm of the Communist Party of the United States, issued this pamphlet to combat this injustice and to rally support to free the "Scottsboro Boys."
