application/pdf - Description:
- Copy of a typewritten newsletter written in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, from Rabbi Charles and Anna Mantinband to friends, dated December 1954. Discusses their efforts to build a Jewish life in the South, the impact of the May 1954 Supreme Court decision (presumably Brown v. Board of Education) in the region, and the various groups formed as a result whose purpose was to enforce segregation. Also mentions the Southern Regional Council, a movement supported by the Mantinbands because it worked outside of the political arena for equal rights.
