"Petition for Clemency", 1953
Scope and Contents
This sub-series contains ephemera from the grassroots response to the trial, conviction, and execution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and consists primarily of flyers, pamphlets, and booklets produced by the movement to exonerate the Rosenbergs. Many materials were created by the Los Angeles Committee to Secure Justice for the Rosenbergs (aka the Rosenberg LA Committee) and the National Committee to Secure Justice for the Rosenbergs. Some materials produced after the execution of the Rosenbergs call for support for Morton Sobell.
