Folder containing newsletters, fliers, and other paper memorabilia from the Committee Against Fort Apache, a Bronx-based organization that sought first to prevent the filming of Fort Apache, The Bronx (1981) and then to boycott the film after it was released. The Committee Against Fort Apache contended that the film dealt in racist stereotypes and degraded the primarily Black and Puerto Rican residents of the South Bronx.
