Item Description
.75". The Commission on Interracial Cooperation was an Atlanta-based civil rights group founded in 1919 by Will Winton Alexander, a white minister. The organization was created in response to the racial violence against African Americans during that time. The group worked tirelessly to combat the hatred of the KKK, as well as violence against African Americans, such as lynching and other hate crimes. They were influential in the passage of the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenancy Act of 1937, as well as in successfully petitioning the FDR Administration to appoint and hire African Americans for its various New Deal agencies. The group ultimately dissolved in 1944, but was a significant force in the civil rights movement of the interwar years. The button shows three hands, black and white, coming together in a symbol of racial unity. Only trivial surface wear in reflected light. Smooth and glossy. NM.
