Scottsboro Trial, Scottsboro, Ala., 1931; African Americans--Civil rights--Alabama; African Americans--Imprisonment--Alabama; Miller, Benjamin Meek, 1864-1944; Women's National Association for the Preservation of the White Race (Atlanta, Ga.)

Signed by "Mrs. J. E. Andrews, President," this telegram from the Women's National Association for the Preservation of the White Race requests that Governor Miller take no further action towards the Decatur trial, presided over by Judge Horton, until the NAACP and the "Negro-manned" International Labor Defense cease their persecution of white women. This organization was founded in 1931, just two years before the creation of this telegram.
