About this Item

A short collection of material arguing for biological racial differences and refuting the "equalitarian" dogma of social scientists employed by groups like the ADL. In 1963, the ADL posed 11 questions to social scientists on the topic of intelligence tests, their ability to measure innate racial differences, and whether racial separation was warranted based on the findings. These findings were edited by Melvin Tumin and published by the ADL as, Race and Intelligence: A Scientific Evaluation (1963). In response, the National Putnam Letters Committee, posed the same questions to leading racialist and eminent psychologist, Henry Garrett, whose answers, unsurprisingly, contradicted the ADL's findings. This is followed by Carleton Putnam's "Some Comments by Leading Scientists on the UNESCO Statement on Race" and "Brains, Intelligence and Race" by Wesley C. George, a paper prepared originally to be delivered under oath before the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary in connection with the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The pamphlet concludes with two appendices of scientific and anecdotal data on racial differences. Garrett, Putnam, and George were three of the leading segregationists and race realists during the 1950s and 1960s who were all prominent in their respective fields. Stapled wrappers (8" x 6"), 35 pp. A near fine copy.
