Title
"Schappes Must Stay!" Flier
Description
This flier promotes a May 12, 1936 conference organized by City College's Student Council. The meeting, which first called for the election of student-elected delegates, was meant to "determine future student action on the Schappes case."
Morris Schappes, an English instructor at the college, had been fired on April 22 after speaking on behalf of the faculty-organized Anti-fascist Association at an anti-war rally on campus earlier that day. His dismissal, attributed by administration to reasons unrelated to the protest, provoked an uproar from many students who immediately began to fight for his reinstatement. More than 1,000 students staged a several days long sit-in in front of the president's office. As a result of their efforts, he retained his job though it was not long before Schappes' political leanings would lead to his dismissal and imprisonment in 1941.
