Snail Mail: Archives International Auctions
1580 Lemoine Ave., Suite 7, Fort Lee, NJ 07670

The auction will take place on February 7th and 8th, 2017 at AIA's office located at 1580 Lemoine Ave., Suite #7, Fort Lee, NJ 07024 beginning at 10:30 AM for both sessions.
Korea, two leaflets, one black on yellowish paper, the other blue on white paper, both entirely in English, addressing American soldiers and urging them to go back to the United States and fight for their civil rights. "Negro soldiers! You've got a fight on your hands at home. Don't come fighting colored people out here!", one leaflet reads. The second leaflet contains 6 pages of text, recounting some atrocities committed by the Ku Klux Klan and others against black individuals, urging them to fight for their rights at home instead of in Kore. "No U.S. soldiers have any business in Korea. Korea for the Koreans. China for the Chinese. America for Americans, Negro and white," the second pamphlet reads. Excellent overall condition, VF-XF.
