SCLC#302

A May 6, 1989 Detroit Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) 27th gala invitation addressed to Rosa Louise Parks survives with an unattributed reverse annotation: “Will not attend / Invitation 5/6/89.”

Front: friendship/fun/fundraising/food; sing-along (the Kerbers), folk dancing (Kim and Bill Fox), hats display, potluck, flea market; $8 adult + dish / $4 child; reservation deadline May 2 — form blank on this copy.
Reverse: mailing panel to Parks; handwriting above address label. Author and date of writing not identified.

Records an annotated intention or filing disposition — not authenticated Parks handwriting, a transmitted RSVP, or proof of actual absence. Possession of invitation ≠ attendance; blank form ≠ membership/donation.
