Add to basketPrinted Document, Christian Educational Association, Form No. 118, ca. 1958-1965. 1 p., 8 1/2 x 11 in. This racist flyer uses the prospect of interracial dating and marriage as a reason to oppose school integration. It consists of a series of ten illustrations with captions about the danger of white children going to school with "negroes." The inevitable result, according to the flyer, would be interracial dating and marriage, and mixed-race children. It pictures the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) as pouring lies into a pot and stirring race hatred, prejudice, and intolerance. The final panel warns, "Wake up for your country's sake, City and State, for your own sake and the future generations sake, and the white peoples sake as well as the colored peoples sake. Our enemies are behind the move. They have been undermining us for the last 30 or 40 years. We are so divided, that if a war started tomorrow, God only knows where we would land. Our enemy is organized - but we are not." Historical BackgroundThe Christian Educational Association of Union, New Jersey, was operated by Conde McGinley (1890-1963) and his son Conde McGinley Jr. (1920-2016). The elder McGinley was born in Oklahoma, moved to New Jersey in 1929, and opened a chain of restaurants. During World War II, he worked as an inspector in a defense plant. In 1946, he began editing a weekly newspaper in Newark entitled Think. By June 1947, it was issued as Common Sense and later that year moved to Union. In addition to editing a semimonthly newspaper, the McGinleys issued a variety of publications warning against the dangers of communism, international Jewish bankers, and race-mixing. It also opposed, according to a New Jersey reporter in 1963, the "United Nations, integration, fluoridation, taxes, disarmament, the Supreme Court, Harvard, the State Department, unification of the Congo, the late Gen. George Marshall, the Anti-Defamation League, Catholicism, and all presidents of the United States for the past 30 years."[1]When McGinley and others associated with him opposed the confirmation of Anna Rosenberg as Assistant Secretary of Defense in the Truman administration, the House Un-American Activities Committee took notice of McGinley. A 1954 report from the committee denounced Common Sense as "some of the most vitriolic hate propaganda ever to come to the attention of the committee. Common Sense defines communism as 'Judaism' and devotes its pages almost exclusively to attacks on the Jewish and to a lesser extent the Negro minorities in our Nation. Sympathy for the former Nazi regime in Germany also is injected into this propaganda, which is hardly distinguishable from that of the National Renaissance Party except for the latter's open appeal for a fascist government in the United States." It also called the publication a "clearinghouse for hate propagandists throughout the country."McGinley formed the Christian Educational Association in 1954, and the following year, Rabbi Joachim Prinz (1902-1988), president of the American Jewish Congress, sued McGinley for $250,000 in damages for libel for publishing that Prinz had been "expelled in 1937 from Germany for revolutionary communistic activities." The jury awarded Prinz $30,000 in damages.Levitt & Sons designed and built several Levittowns in the period after World War II, all with covenants barring the sale of homes to African Americans. including one such planned community of 17,311 homes in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, built between 1952 and 1958. When William and Daisy Myers, an African American couple with three small children, bought a home in this Levittown in 1957, white residents formed the Levittown Betterment Association (LBA) to oppose the integration of their community. The Christian Educational Association offered to assist the LBA, including the use of its printing equipment.After McGinley died in 1963, his widow and family continued .
