Evelyn DuBrow was director of Americans for Democratic Action in New Jersey before becoming personal assistant to Gus Tyler in 1956. In 1959, she went to Washington as a lobbyist for the ILGWU, where she won exemption for garment industry workers from legislation outlawing secondary boycotts.[1]

In 1962, DuBrow blamed Herbert Hill of the NAACP for Congressman Adam Clayton Powell's decision to investigate the ILGWU for discrimination and corruption.[2]
