(CIVIL RIGHTS.) SCOTTS-
BORO 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
[1,000/1,500]
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.
