Anti-Communist Advisory Committee "Minutemen" flyer, circa 1960s
Scope and Contents
A racist flyer expressing "America first" anti-Semitic ideology produced by the Anti-Communist Advisory Committee of Mt. Rainier, MD, calling on "patriotic, white, red blooded Americans" to fight against Jews and Black people, whom the organization deemed Communist traitors to America. In the flyer, the organization claims that Black people are tools of the "Jew controlled federal government" which supposedly aims to place America under martial law and invite the United Nations to send soldiers to subjugate rebellion. The organization also expresses fears over miscegenation. It concludes by inviting the reader to join their program, which appears to involve arming themselves in secret in preparation for a race war.
