Description: On Offer from ..... Homeward Bound Books Title: The Black Legion Rides Date: 1936 Description: A forty-seven page booklet published by the Communism-supporting Workers Library, which argues for the elimination of the Black Legion organisation. It describes the operations of the group and some of its crimes and members and associates. It focuses on the sensational Charles A. Poole murder in May 1936, which became the basis of an award-winning Humphrey Bogart movie about the effects of such an organization on an ordinary American man. The pamphlet measures 7.5 x 5". A scarce copy. The Black Legion was a white supremacist terrorist organisation and hate group which was active in the Midwestern U.S. in the 1920s and the 1930s. It split off from the Ku Klux Klan and grew to prominence during the Great Depression. The group is widely viewed as an even more violent and radical offshoot of the Klan.(from Wikipedia) A long entry about the group and its activities can be found on Wikipedia.
