Reel W-6 supplements the auove reels in thab the first part of it contains material that was not filmed in 1964 when Reels W-1 through W-5 were made(ACLU volumes numbered 24, 226, 448, ·615D). Th• last part of the reel.Al (ACLU volumes numbered 2052, 2058, 2249, 2345, 2428, 2538, 2629, 2762) continues from the end of Reel W-5 and;:covers the years 1938 through 1946.

These publications relate to the entire United States. They are probably to be found on one of the uninventoried reels (most likely either I&M-2 or W-6). It should also be noted that these microfilms do not represent all of the material-to be found in the ACLU Papers relating to these states. In many cases the papers were so fragile that Princeton University Library would not permit them to be microfilmed because the handling required was too destructive. A complete set of microfilms of the ACLU Papers is in the New York Public Library, and positives can be obtained from that source. The undarsigned can provide more complete information for the identification of this material. *Because the paper~._r,Jating to Montana and Idaho have been intermixed on these reels, the pre~ "I" or "M" have been added to the ACLU volume number to indicate which state is represented therein.

Partisanship within the American Civil Liberties Union: the Board of Directors, the Struggle with Anti-communism, and Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, 1938-1940. By Douglas Colin Post. Master of Arts in history. University of Richmond. May 1996. Professor R. Barry Westin, thesis director. The American Civil Liberties Union and an overwhelming majority of its historians have maintained that the organization has devoted its efforts solely to the protection of the Bill of Rights. This thesis examines that claim, focusing on the events that culminated in the expulsion of Elizabeth Gurley Flynn from the Union's Board of Directors. Relying primarily on the organization's own publications and archives, as well as several insiders' accounts, the analysis concludes that the issue of communism increasingly polarized the Board and, in a gross violation of its nonpartisan commitment to the defense of civil liberties, led ultimately to the Communist Flynn's removal.

WEINRIB It was the policy of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) during the 1920s to contest only those obscenity regulations that were “relied upon to punish persons for their political views.”1 So stated a 1928 ACLU bulletin, reiterating a position to which the organization had adhered since its for- mation in 1920. For the majority of the ACLU’s executive board, “political views” encompassed the struggle for control of the government and the economy, but not of the body.

This period is widely known as the First Red Scare, and is framed as a reaction to recent anarchist terrorism, syndicalist unionizing, and the Bolshevik Revolution.

LAWYERING AT THE EXTREMES: THE REPRESENTATION OF TOM MOONEY, 1916-1939 Rebecca Roiphe* INTRODUCTION In 1916, America, unhinged by its own labor disputes, fought bitterly over the question of whether to enter the war in Europe.' At a prowar rally in San Francisco, the two issues (which were never completely separate) collided when a bomb went off, killing nine people and wounding many others. A detective for hire, Martin Swanson, immediately had a suspect in mind: Thomas J. Mooney, a militant Socialist and labor activist, who had already been charged and acquitted several times of transporting explosives with the purpose of destroying the transmission lines of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E). Mooney, along with several others, was arrested, tried, and convicted. Even at the time, observers noted the lack of evidence and the shaky unreliable witnesses, but Mooney was sentenced to death nonetheless. This essay tells the story of the lawyers who represented Mooney during his twenty-three-year fight for freedom.

  • ACLU Facts and Figures
    ACLU Facts and Figures FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACTS: ACLU Press Office/DC (202) 675-2312 [email protected] ACLU Press Office/NYC (212) 549-2666 [email protected] The American Civil Liberties Union is the nation’s premier guardian of liberty, working daily in court s, legislatures and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution and the laws of the United States. It is nonpartisan and nonprofit, with headquarters in New York, a legislative office in Washington, D.C. and more than 300 chapters nationwide. The ACLU was founded in 1920 by Roger Baldwin, Crystal Eastman, Albert DeSilver, Jane Addams, Felix Frankfurter, Helen Keller and Arthur Garfield Hayes and others. Membership Membership is open to all. The minimum dues for basic membership is $20 a year. The ACLU currently has 400,000 members and supporters. Budget The ACLU is supported by dues and more than $50 million in contributions annually from individuals and grants from foundations, and receives no government funding. It does not charge its clients. The ACLU Foundation is the tax-deductible, 501(c)(3) arm of the ACLU. Eighty percent of the ACLU budget directly supports litigation, legislation and public education programs. Fundraising costs average 12 percent of total expenses, and management and administration account for an additional 8 percent.
