Reuben Borough (3rd from right) holds a bouquet of flowers for Charlotta Bass (center) at a campaign rally when she was a Progressive Party candidate for Congress in the 14th District. The banner above reads "Elect Charlotta Bass for Congress, Peace, Jobs, Equality." The same year, Borough was the party's candidate for State Treasurer. Charlotta Bass was the publisher of the California Eagle newspaper from 1912 to 1951, and a civil rights activist. The California Eagle, covering Los Angeles' African-American community, was one of the oldest and longest running African American newspapers.
