A congressman stands at a lectern addressing a gathering identified in the record only as "A.P.M." in 1941. The speaker is Vito Marcantonio, the New York representative who built his political base in East Harlem and became known for championing working people and tenants. The A.P.M. was most likely the American Peace Mobilization, a coalition formed in 1940 to oppose American entry into the war in Europe, a position that shifted sharply after Germany invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941. Marcantonio's stance on the war made him a controversial figure at the time.
