Object Details

Andrew Biemiller served two terms in the House, but he spent most of his career as the most prominent voice for labor, lobbying Congress on behalf of unions. Among other accomplishments, he pressed to attach an equal employment provision to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Biemiller also drafted the civil rights plank for the 1948 Democratic National Convention, which led in turn to the walk-out of segregationist Southern Democrats. This tab, from one of his re-election campaigns, was typical of mid-20th century campaign giveaways: inexpensive and to the point.
