{"value"=>"<p>This scrapbook (1941-1950) is about the establishment and ongoing attempts to support of the Fair Employment Practices Committee (FEPC) and contains clippings from a variety of newspapers. Coverage includes the creation of the FEPC in 1941, which was intended to end discriminatory hiring practices in war-related work, and the ensuing battle to keep it open and viable. Clippings cover which politicians did or did not support the FEPC, underfunding of the committee, repeated use of filibustering to avoid progress, a rally at Madison Square Garden in support of the committee, and the involvement of the Communist Party.</p>"}
