A RARE FULL SHEET (CIVIL RIGHTS.) SCOTTSBORO BOYS. They Shall Not Die. Save the Nine Innocent Negro Scottsboro Boys. Full sheet of 100 stamps, mint condition, with the International Labor Defense Fund strip at the top of the sheet intact. New York, 1933
an exceedingly rare full sheet of one hundred scottsboro boys defense fund stamps. These were printed up by the 'Scottsboro New Trial Emergency Fund,' a part of the International Labor Defense Fund, the legal arm of the American Communist Party. Stamps like this were sold for a penny each, or one dollar for a full sheet. Like Christmas Seal stamps, one would add them to letters, bills and whatever one sent through the post office. This had the dual effect of raising money and raising awareness.
