Foreword (mimeograph) [fig. T4]
Title Page [fig. T5]
Part One: Negroes Come to America [fig. T6]
American slave traders dragged the negroes from their native land [fig. T7-T8]
Shackling and stowing them on slave boats to be transported to America [fig. T9-T10]
Where the plantation boss put them to work raising cotton and tobacco [fig. T11-T12]
The negro slaves soon rose in rebellion [fig. T13-T14]
But the boss smashed the revolts by forming the KKK [fig. T15-T16]
Since the civil war forces of law and terror have kept the master in power [fig. T17-T18]
The more rebellious negroes are thrown in prison chain-gangs [fig. T19-T20]
Where torture from the whipping post and the sweat box awaits them [fig. T21-T22]
The negroes freed from chattel bonds found they were now wage slaves [fig. T23-T24]
On the plantations or in the industrial centers [fig. T25-T26]
The boss uses every means to keep the negro separated from the white [fig. T27-T28]
Sadistic lynchings are encouraged to fan the flame of race hatred [fig. T29-T30]
But the misery and starvation that haunts the home of the negro [fig. T31-T32]
Connects him with the hunger stricken home of the white worker [fig. T33-T34]
At camp hill negro and white toilers gathered to draw up a bill of rights [fig. T35-T36]
Again the boss and his forces drove back the workers with terror [fig. T37-T38]
A united hatred of white and negro toilers is rising against the tyrant master [fig. T39-T40]
Part Two: The nine boys of Scottsboro [fig. T41]
Nine young jobless negroes left their wretched homes [fig. T42-T43]
Headed for Birmingham in search of a job [fig. T44-T45]
Carrying a few belongings they took to the freights [fig. T46-T47]
At the same time two jobless white girls left for the city [fig. T48-T49]
Traveling with some white fellows on the same train as the nine negroes [fig. T50-T51]
Railroad deputies arrested the boys for vagrancy [fig. T52-T53]
And discovered the girls on the same freight train [fig. T54-T55]
The white boys were run out of town [fig. T56-T57]
And the nine young negroes locked in jail [fig. T58-T59]
The bosses to stop the growing unity of white and black workers [fig. T60-T61]
The propaganda of race hate was prepared [fig. T62-T63]
The newspapers spread the poisonous cry [fig. T64-T65]
Broadcasting hate against the negro people [fig. T66-T67]
Local community leaders were ready to hand the lynch rope [fig. T68-T69]
To the fascist hoodlums who wanted to lynch the nine young negroes [fig. T70-T71]
But the boss to impress the doubtful white workers [fig. T72-T73]
Gave the lynch job to his lackey the court [fig. T74-T75]
Aided by a jury from which negroes were excluded [fig. T76-T77]
The judge sentenced the nine defenseless boys [fig. T78-T79]
Condemning them to die by the electric chair [fig. T80-T81]
While a band on the court yard steps played "America" [fig. T82-T83]
Part Three: White and black unite [fig. T84]
The communists spread word of the frameup [fig. T85-T86]
"Scottsboro" became one of the daily problems [fig. T87-T88]
For the working class of all countries [fig. T89-T90]
So strong was the pressure of world opinion [fig. T91-T92]
That the planned execution was stopped [fig. T93-T94]
And the ruling class granted a new trial [fig. T95-T96]
Knowing that their legal machine of justice [fig. T97-T98]
Would be blind to the refutation of one girl [fig. T99-T100]
And the courageous nine who answered the charge [fig. T101-T102]
Obedient courts again demanded death [fig. T103-T104]
But the symbol of Scottsboro will weld the masses forward [fig. T105-T106]
[Hand clasps wrist] [fig. T107]
And driving all of the many parasites [fig. T108-T109]
Into the ash heap of the bitter past [fig. T110-T111]
[Raised fist] [fig. T112]
