Additional Details

A scarce flyer specifically aimed at young members of the NAACP "What Will You Do About Them?" says the flyer, giving examples of areas where work needed to be done. The photograph of the Scottsboro Boys appeared in the January 1937 issue of Crisis Magazine. The flyer also addresses the subject of lynching with a photo and a horrifying statistic "5,108 lynchings since 1882." The first we've seen of this flyer.
