Description:
The International Labor Defense Organization was formed during the Sacco and Vanzetti trial. While she was in Portland, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn was its chair. It eventually became the Oregon Civil Rights Congress. In 1948, the Portland School Board, under pressure from the Portland Police Bureau Red Squad, refused to rent the Benson High School Auditorium to the Congress for an event.
