Additional Details

This leaflet capitalized on the attention given to Little Rock's school integration battles to gain support for New York's fair housing bill, the Sharkey-Brown-Isaacs Bill. With real estate developers pressuring Mayor Wagner to table the bill, this leaflet urged some pressure on the mayor from the other side: "Join the demonstration at City Hall . . . Give your lunch hour for freedom. Let America know New York is not Little Rock." None traced in OCLC or at auction.
