The Truth About My Alleged $50,000,000.00 Donation
Fort Worth: The Judge Armstrong Foundation, 1950. A response by George W. Armstrong to the allegation that he offered a struggling Jefferson Military College in Mississippi a $50,000,000 endowment if they’d “indoctrinate its cadets with the kind of ‘racial superiority’ doctrines that Hitler saddled upon Germany (from an Anti-Nazi League’s appeal letter reproduced herein). Armstrong criticizes the Zionists responsible for his proposal’s rejection but does not deny that its terms included the exclusion of Blacks, Asians and Jews. He spends much of the pamphlet arguing for racial segregation, the inherent superiority of the White race, and exposing the treachery of Zionists (Jews).
Armstrong (1866-1954) was a multi-millionaire steel magnate, lawyer and politician who financed many far right groups and was a close friend of the anti-Semitic agitator, Gen. George Van Horn Moseley. He self-published many pamphlets and booklets promoting his political and racial beliefs, all of which are relatively uncommon today.
