REMOBILIZATION RALLY LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS ADDRESS MAIL TO: Remobilization Committee P. O. Box 1977 Little Rock, Arkansas CAPITAL CITIZENS’ COUNCIL CONFIDENTIAL Dear Patriot: To live in Little Rock is a privilege and a responsibility. Our city is famous throughout the world. The fact that Communists and other biased propa- gandists have tried to distort and smear our image does not diminish the historical importance of Little Rock. It was here that Federal troops were, for the first time since Reconstruction, ordered to impose an alien way of life upon Americans. To the everlasting credit of our citizens, it may be noted that the left- wing bureaucraey would not have found necessary such an act of tyrannical "revolution from the top" if Little Rock had not offered resistance. That re- sistance was sparked in 1957 by your Citizens’ Council. Throughout the en- suing years the spirit of liberty has continued to be fed by the upholders of States’ Rights and Racial Integrity. Yet the danger from subversive integrationists is now greater than ever. The President now not only sends troops to crush the people of a state, as he did last year in Mississippi, but also openly encourages street agitators, such as Bayard Rustin (negro sex pervert) and Martin Luther King. The New York Times of May 14, 1963, reported that negro toughs in Birmingham have the slogan: "K.K.K. -- Kennedy, Khruschev, and King!" It is time to improve our defenses. THE TASK OF DEFENDING OUR WAY OF LIFE AGAINST THE CHAOS AND VIOLENCE OF INTEGRATION SHOULD NOT BE TOO DIFFICULT IF WE ARE PROPERLY ORGANIZED! The failure of the race-mixing revolutionists to produce more than token inte- gration in the nine and a half years since the Supreme Court’s "Black Monday" decision of May 17, 1954, shows how deep-set is the American commitment to social separation of the races. Even the hypertrophied power of the Federal bureaucracy, even the stult- ifying persuasiveness of the mass media of communication, even the prestige of academic and ecclesiastical celebrities have not sufficed to put so much as one-half of one per cent of the negro children of the South into classrooms with white children. No wonder the integrators are nervous! To guarantee that racial revolution shall advance no further, but be rolled back, your Citizens’ Council is to be remobilized. A meeting to this end has been called for Monday. December 2, 1963, at 8:00 P.M. in the Display Room of Coachman’s Inn, East 5th at Ferry. You are urged to attend. Whether you are already a member of the Capital Citizens’ Council or not is immaterial. Proud as we are of the past, it is the future to which we look. We see in that future a Little Rock Citizens’ Council invigorated with new blood and supported by full affiliation with the Citizens’ Councils of America. Guests at our remobilization meeting will be Dr. Medford Evans, former Chief of Security Training of the Atomic Energy Commission, author and lecturer; and Mr. Louis W. Hollis, Executive Director of the Citizens’ Councils of America. Dr. Evans will speak on "How to Defeat Communism Through Your Citizens’ Council." Mr. Hollis will show how to make your Citizens’ Council strong and effective. Don’t miss this meeting! You and friends whom you endorse are cordially invited. Let us know on the return coupon below whether you can be there.
