Question: What connections between the Scottsboro case and the Communist Party were illustrated by the media?

The Scottsboro trial was a landmark case in terms of race relations during the 1900s. I'm glad you are exploring this topic. I would rephrase your question to ask, "What connections between the Scottsboro case and the Communist Party were illustrated by the media?" Something to that effect. -Crystal
