Communist Party of Los Angeles Ben Franklin Club

Description

Collection comprises a mimeographed flyer protesting the arrest of seven Mexican-American boys following a fistfight in a secondary school playground. The youths were held without bail for five days, when a judge set their bail at $1,000 each, in order to provide them with protective custody. The writer condemned the judge's prejudice against this ethnic group and others. The information is provided in English on one side of the paper, in Spanish on the other.
