This publication, The Worker, represents the official voice and ideological "mouthpiece" of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) during one of the most volatile periods of the Cold War.
The front page has a banner headline that reads: "WARN 96 RACISTS OF 'WORLD WRATH'" (see images)
Original physical issues of The Worker from the 1950s are exceptionally rare today becuse the political climate of the McCarthy era compelled many subscribers to destroy their copies to avoid FBI surveillance and the professional ruin associated with possessing "subversive" communist literature.
Complete with 8 pages, a little spine wear, otherwise in nice condition.

Background: On March 12, 1956, the presentation of the Southern Manifesto to Congress marked a definitive, polarizing turning point in American political history by exposing the irreconcilable ideological fissure over segregation within the Democratic Party. Signed by 101 Southern lawmakers, the document cloaked the defense of white supremacy in the respectable language of "states' rights" and constitutional originalism, effectively organizing a state-sanctioned campaign of "Massive Resistance" against the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education ruling. This open defiance forced a bitter reckoning for Northern Democrats, who were increasingly reliant on the votes of Black Americans migrating to northern cities and could no longer politically afford to tolerate the Jim Crow status quo of their Southern colleagues. By codifying regional resistance to school integration, the event shattered the fragile New Deal coalition, setting off a decade of escalating federal-state crises—such as the forced integration of Little Rock Central High School in 1957—and ultimately paving the way for the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which permanently realigned the American electorate by driving Southern segregationists out of the Democratic Party and into the Republican fold.
