"Brief for the Congress of Industrial Organizations as Amicus Curiae in the Supreme Court of the United States. Washington, D.C.: Congress of Industrial Organizations,1954. First Edition. Staple-bound pamphlet; printed card wrappers; 17pp. Reprints for public distribution the CIO's amicus curiae brief in the case of Gebhart vs. Belton, one of the four cases merged into the "Brown v. Board of Education" Supreme Court tiral which resulted in federal desegregation of public schools. The CIO brief notes organized labor's interest in fair and equal education for blacks, and concludes: "...we respectfully suggest to the Court ...cessation of segregaton 'forthwith' rather than by 'gradual adjustment.'" Includes brief introductory statements by Walther Reuther and James B. Carey. An uncommon Brown v. Board of Education item." -Lorne Bair
