SOURCE NOTE
The original records reproduced for this publication are held by the
Manuscripts Division of the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C., with the
exception of the Reports of the NAACP Secretary and the Reports of the
Legal Department. These appear on Reel 2 of the microfilm and were
loaned to UPA from a private collection whose holdings are more complete
for these particular reports than the holdings of the Library of Congress.
EDITORIAL NOTE
This microform edition is a continuation of Papers of the NAACP, Part 1,
1909-1950 published by University Publications of America (UPA) in 1982.
It brings through 1955 the following subseries of records that were begun
in the original edition:
Minutes of the Board of Directors
Monthly Reports of NAACP Officers
Records of Annual Business Meetings
Records of Annual Conventions.
The subseries of "Special Correspondence" contained in Part 1 of
Papers of the NAACP does not extend beyond 1939 in the original
collection, and therefore does not continue in the present supplement.
Records of Annual Conventions have been included in their entirety in this
Supplement, whereas in the original edition they were published minus the
background correspondence. Container inventories for the original
collection are microfilmed at the beginning of the first reel of this
Supplement. Original container numbers for each file are marked on every
file folder to assist in scholarly citation.
All files reproduced on this microfilm have been filmed jn their entirety,
with only carbons and duplicated copies deleted. File series which have
been drawn upon for this Supplement include:
Group I, Series A, Box 6 for Minutes of the Board of Directors
Personal collection for Reports of the Secretary and of the Legal
Department
Group II, Series A, Boxes 62 and 63 for Records of Annual Business
Meetings
Group II, Series A, Boxes 47-61 for Records of Annual Conventions.
Researchers should also be aware of six additional microform editions of
Papers of the NAACP published by UPA under the direction of Professors
August Meier and John Bracey as part of the microform series, Black
Studies Research Sources. These editions, which make possible further
in-depth research on key subject areas documented by the NAACP
collection, include: Papers o f t h e NAACP, Part 2 , Personal
Educational Equality, 1913-1950; Part 4, The Voting Rights Campaign,
1916-1950; Part 5, The Campaign against Residential Segregation,
1914-1955; Part 6, The Scottsboro Case, 1931-1950; and Part 7, The
Anti-Lynching Campaign, 1912-1955.
SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
General
For the most part the NAACP's activities in the early 1950s concerned
issues that had occupied it from the late 1940s and would continue to do so
well into the 1960s, including housing and employment discrimination, mob
violence against blacks, defense against allegations of Communist
influence, congressional lobbying in Washington, and the prosecution of its
legal redress campaign.
However, one event of particular significance to the black/civil rights
movement must be especially noted for the 1950s: the NAACP's victory in
the case of Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas, which was
decided by the United States Supreme Court in 1954. The immediate
controversy in the Brown case was the legality of racial segregation in public
schools, but the Supreme Court's decision was wide ranging on
constitutional grounds and held implications far beyond the sphere of
public education. Not only did the Court declare that segregation in public
schools was unconstitutional, but it went further to declare that any form of
government support of racial discrimination violates the Constitution. In so
ruling it explictly overruled its own 1898 decision sanctioning segregation of
the races. Since then, an elaborate and degrading institution of racial
segregation had developed in many parts of the United States. It governed
relations between the races in public education, hospitals, housing, parks,
theaters, public transportation, and many other public facilities. In light of the
Brown decision, this entire social institution was open to effective legal
challenge.
In this sense, the Brown decision represented a foundation for all
subsequent civil rights litigation and a beginning in the battle which the
NAACP would wage into the 1960s to dismantle racial segregation in
America. The Brown decision, however, also represented the culmination
of decades of court battles sponsored by the Association in the cause of
the civil rights of Afro-Americans. The records contained in this Supplement
document the NAACP's strategies and actions both in anticipation of the
Brown ruling and in the immediate aftermath of the victory. (Researchers
can study the course of the NAACP legal redress campaigns leading up to
the Brown decision in Parts 3, 4, and 5 of UPA's Papers of the NAACP,
particularly in Part 3, The Campaign for Educational Equality.)
Apart from the repercussions of the Brown decision, other topics which
are frequently documented in this Supplement include efforts to mobilize
blacks i n t h e deep South t o support t h e civilr i g h t smovement; t h e
discrimination against blacks; insinuations of Communist and subversive
influence in the civil rights movement; efforts to involve black youth leaders
in the program of the NAACP; and instances of violence and intimidation
against blacks by white vigilantes and mobs.
The problem of Communist involvement in the civil rights movement
during the early 1950s was an especially sensitive one due to the intense
anti-Communist climate in national politics. The NAACP was obliged to react
o n several occasions when t h e image o f i t s officers w a s impugned b y
publicly charged that the NAACP was a subversive organization.
Communists were active, however, in some aspects of the civil rights
movement. In the case of the NAACP, the records reveal that a focal point
of such activity was the Association's Youth Councils and College Chapters.
Both national officers and NAACP youth leaders exhibited concern over
Communist involvement at the grass roots of the organization on a number
of occasions, especially in background materials in the Annual Convention
files. (Researchers should consult UPA's Papers of the NAACP, Part 6: The
Scottsboro Case for documentation on the shaping of NAACP leaders'
attitudes toward Communists.)
The relations between the NAACP leadership and black youth can be
explored with profit on a broader range of issues than Communist activity,
however. By the 1950s, the NAACP was a mature organization whose
national leadership had been stable for more than a decade. Efforts on the
part of youth leaders to secure a wider role for themselves at some expense
to the NAACP hierarchy are apparent in the papers, particularly in
Convention Committee files. Tensions such as these usually fall far short of
open conflict, but they nonetheless provide insight into the relations
between the Association and the younger generation of civil rights activists.
Residential housing segregation is yet another major issue which
surfaces repeatedly throughout the early 1950s. Typically, the postwar
pattern of segregated housing involved the development of whites-only
suburban housing tracts and the abandonment of certain inner city
neighborhoods to blacks. Much of the process depended upon federal
housing policies which had expanded dramatically since the Second World
War. Legislation for programs such as federal mortgage insurance, urban
redevelopment, and slum clearance failed to include anti-discrimination
provisions. Moreover, the programs were administered at the local level
where prejudice disguised as policy proved difficult to root out. The records
reveal the NAACP struggling, often in vain, to stem the tide of subsidized
housing segregation. It launched court suits, complained to federal officials,
and lobbied Congress for fair housing legislation. Disputes with private
developers are well-illustrated in the Secretary's reports on Levittown
developments. Disputes over housing integration also involved the NAACP
in several of the most serious instances of racial violence it encountered in
the early 1950s, most notably the Cicero, Illinois, race riot of 1951 and the
bombing of black homes in Dallas, Texas, at the same time. (Researchers
should consult Part 5 of UPA's Papers of the NAACP, The Campaign
against Residential Segregation, for greater detail on the Association's
efforts in this area.)
The NAACPs efforts to lobby Congress are still another important
feature of its activities in the early 1950s. Housing and employment
discrimination were two areas of especial concern before Congress. The
NAACP lobbied unsuccessfully for fair housing legislation and for a
resuscitation of the Fair Employment Practices Commission. Sections of the
Secretary's Reports dealing with the Washington Bureau describe these
and other congressional lobbying efforts. They also reveal the Association's
efforts at coalition-building--a great deal of which was an attempt to forge
alliances with liberal-minded labor unions, particularly those of the CIO.
Apparent also in the accounts of NAACP congressional lobbying is the
record of the Association's enmity with Dixiecrat and conservative
congressional
blocs.
Mob violence against blacks was an issue that had long confronted the
NAACP, and the early 1950s were no exception. Controversies over black
movement to white neighborhoods sparked several episodes of violence
as noted above. Vigilante attacks upon blacks in the South-long a problem
against which the Association struggled-lingered on into the 1950s.
Attacks calculated to discourage political activity among blacks in the deep
South are noteworthy. The NAACP, in the meanwhile, redoubled its efforts
to organize blacks throughout the deep South in the early 1950s,
particularly in Mississippi from which reports of white hostility toward black
political activity are regular. (Part 7 of UPA's Papers of the NAACP, The AntiLynching Campaign, details the Association's efforts in response to
violence and intimidation against blacks. Additionally, Series B of Part 7
details efforts to secure federal anti-lynching legislation and incidentally
provides insight into the establishment of the NAACP as a congressional
lobby.)
As a result of the Korean War, a number of special issues presented
themselves to the Association. The NAACP moved aggressively to ensure
that President Truman's executive order integrating the armed forces was
carried out to the fullest. It monitored integration of active units and also
pushed for the integration of educational, residential, and recreational
facilities on military bases. It also fought discriminatory policies of the
Veterans Administration, particularly segregation in veterans' hospitals.
A final issue which engaged the Association regularly during the early
1950s was the stereotypical depiction of blacks on television and over the
radio. The Association labored to counter the derogatory images of blacks
portrayed in such shows as "Amos 'n' Andy." It also encouraged the mass
media to consider hiring additional black actors and background employees.
Minutes of the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors is the highest policy-making body in the NAACP,
and its minutes constitute the central record of the Association's activities.
The Board considered all matters of policy, ranging from the type of litigation
to be taken up by the legal department to the issues to be lobbied before
Congress. Matters overriding established strategy as well as contingencies
in the execution of strategy were regularly brought to its attention. In
addition to its responsibilities in guiding substantive NAACP policy, it also
remained in charge of a number of important administrative duties including
fund raising and major expenses, the certification of NAACP branches and
disputes in the administration of those branches, the appointment of
national executives, and the nomination of candidates for its own body
(which it shared with the Convention). The best published reference work
on the internal structure of the NAACP is B. Joyce Ross, Joel E. Spingam
and the Rise of the NAACP, 1909-1939 (New York, 1972).
Reports of the Secretary
The secretary is the highest ranking officer of the NAACP national staff.
The position is in effect that of the chief executive officer, responsible for all
day-to-day operations and accountable to the Board of Directors. For nearly
the entire period covered by this Supplement, the secretary of the NAACP
was Walter F. White, who had held the position since 1930. Upon his death
in 1955, White was succeeded by Roy Wilkins. Wilkins had been groomed
to succeed White by holding the position of administrator for at least a year
prior to the tatter's death, during which time the Administrator's Reports
were in effect the Secretary's Reports.
The Secretary's Reports were prepared for the monthly Board of
Directors' meetings, and they provide another, deeper level of detail on the
Association's monthly activities. By 1951, the Secretary's Reports
consolidated the reports of all the other national office departments with the
exception of those of the Legal Department (which are included in this
collection after the Secretary's Reports for each year). Thus each
Secretary's Report contains reports for the Department of Branches and
Youth Work, the Department of Publb Relations, the Washington Bureau,
the Church Secretary, the Membership Secretary, and the Labor Relations
Assistant.
In addition to these consolidated departmental reports, the Secretary's
Reports discuss the progress of litigation in the major court cases the
Association pursued and any noteworthy events to which the Secretary had
responded in the previous month. Subjects covered by the Secretary's
Reports are thoroughly indexed in the subject index of the user guide.
Legal Department Reports
Legal Department Reports were also prepared for the monthly Board of
Directors' meetings but not as regularly as the monthly Secretary's Reports.
The main object of the reports was to account for progress and setbacks in
the NAACP's fledgling legal redress campaigns. The reports also cover
conferences attended by Legal Department Director Thurgood Marshall as
well as the progress of background research being conducted by the staff.
The reports on litigation are typically organized by subject, including criminal
cases, education cases, health care discrimination cases, housing cases,
military discrimination cases, public accommodations cases, recreation
facilities cases, and public transportation cases. By 1953, the reports of the
Legal Department are supplemented with the reports of the Legal Defense
and Educational Fund, a tax-exempt arm of the NAACP, which was
established in the late 1940s.
Records of Annual Business Meetings
The major function of the Annual Business Meeting was to elect the
Board of Directors from among candidates offered by a Nominating
Committee. The committee had six members, three appointed by the
Annual Convention and three by the Board, with a seventh member who
was the Chairman of the Board. In theory, the meeting was open to the
entire membership, but in practice rarely more than a few hundred members
attended. Attendance lists are included among the records along with
background correspondence, press releases, and a few speeches and
summaries of the Association's work for the preceding year.
Records of Annual Conventions
The NAACP Annual Conventions served a number of important
functions. Among the foremost was attracting publicity for the Association.
To this end, prominent individuals were invited to address the convention
or to submit a "greeting." The convention itself passed resolutions on a
wide range of political issues that were often calculated to attract the
attention of the press. Special events such as testimonial banquets,
protests, or commemorative gatherings were scheduled. In at least one
instance in the early 1950s, the very selection of the convention site was
calculated as a publicity-attracting event. In 1951 the convention met in
Atlanta, Georgia, where racial segregation was practiced by local hotels.
Efforts to secure bookings for blacks in whites-only hotels caused a major
stir, which the NAACP exploited to draw attention to the larger issue of
segregation in public facilities. All of the publicity-getting aspects of the
convention were carefully orchestrated through the Association's Public
Relations Department, which took painstaking efforts t o inform t h e
national news media, including television a n d radio network news,
newsworthy developments.
Another important function of the convention was to afford regular
personal contact between the national office and the NAACP branches.
Several sessions of every convention were taken up with "workshops" in
which national officers instructed delegates in such things as fund raising
and local branch administration, as well as how to initiate and follow through
on civil rights litigation at the local level. On occasion, complaints with local
branches were taken up at the convention, including such matters as
delinquent dues payments or branch administration. For the branch of the
host city, the convention presented the opportunity to interest local
churches and civic groups in the work of the NAACP and to use the
favorable convention publicity to seek new members and new sources of
funding.
Finally, the convention afforded NAACP branch delegates a degree of
input on the national program. The convention had a minority voice in
selecting the membership of the important Nominating Committee, which
chose a list of candidates for the all-important Board of Directors. (An equal
number of appointees to the Nominating Committee was made by the
Board of Directors itself. The Chairman of the Board was included as the tiebreaking member of the Nominating Committee.) The convention then
voted on the composition of the Board of Directors from among the
candidates presented by the Nominating Committee. The delegates also
selected members for a number of standing committees governing the
operation of the convention, including the Committee on Conference
Procedure, the Resolutions Committee, and the Credentials Committee.
Finally, the resolutions, on which convention delegates voted, served as
guideposts for NAACP national policy making, which was largely the
responsibility of the Board of Directors.
Brief summaries of the major subdivisions of the Annual Convention files
follow:
Committee on Conference Procedure: This committee, composed of three
members chosen by the convention and two members selected by the
national staff, prepared rules and regulations for the seating of delegates,
the credentials procedure, the conduct of convention business sessions,
and the nomination and election of convention officers. In addition, it was
responsible for dividing the NAACP branches, youth chapters, and college
chapters into geographic regions and then for devising formulas for
proportional regional representation o f delegates o n t h e various
The records of the Committee on Conference Procedure cast valuable
light on behind-the-scenes politics of the conventions, including relations
between the national office and the larger convention and the maintenance
of the NAACP internal power structure. They often reveal broad political and
strategic objectives of NAACP officers, as well.
Committee a n d Staff: T h e committee referred t o i n these files i s a n
while the staff is the national office staff. The Executive Conference
Committee coordinated t h e activities o f numerous non-policy-making
finding convention hotel rooms), the Souvenir Program Committee, the
Entertainment Committee, the Publicity Committee, the Committee on
Community Cooperation (within the host city), the Registration Committee,
the Welcome Committee, the Finance Committee, and other ad hoc
committees. Since these committees were staffed by members of the host
city branch, these files contain a good deal of correspondence with local
branch officers. The national staff materials mostly concern the selection of
national staffers who would receive expense-paid invitations to the
convention.
Delegates: The Delegates files contain lists of delegates and visitors to the
conventions. I n some cases t h e lists a r e arranged b y states. Often,
delegate's credentials were certified. Youth and college chapter delegates
are provided on separate lists. There is occasional correspondence from
the Credentials Committee.
Expenses: The Expenses files contain a great deal of mundane receipts
a n d accounts b u t also hold a f e w items o f significance. Included a r e
summaries of convention fund raising, expenses, and branch debts that h
been collected at the convention.
Form Letters: These are circular letters sent to the NAACP branches by the
national office detailing such matters as the upcoming convention theme,
convention rules a n d procedures, advice regarding travel a n d
orientation to the conventions.
Greetings: T h e Greetings files contain telegrams a n d letters sent b y
whom greetings were solicited. While many of the greetings are brief
cordialities, some are quite expansive in their appreciation of the NAACP's
work or on the cause of civil rights in general. The files include statements
from both Presidents Truman and Eisenhower as well as from numerous
senators; congressmen; federal officials; foreign leaders; state governors;
religious, labor, and civil rights leaders; and entertainers, including Bryce
Harlow, William Green, Mike Quill, Walter Reuther, A. Phillip Randolph, Frank
Crosswaith, Kwame Nkrumah, Jawaharlal Nehru, Herbert Lehman, Eleanor
Roosevelt, Hubert Humphrey, Lionel Hampton, and many others.
Legal Department: T h e Legal Department sessions, held a t each
attorneys and state NAACP conference presidents. The main objective was
to teach local branch attorneys how to initiate civil rights litigation and to
show the state conference presidents how to develop a support network
for the litigants. Several areas of litigation were explored in these sessions,
including employment discrimination, registration and voting, education,
housing, segregation in public facilities, discrimination in the armed
services, and police brutality. In addition, state conference presidents were
instructed in legislative lobbying techniques in an effort to advance civil
rights legislation in the states (which could then be used as grounds for civil
rights litigation).
Minutes: These files contain scattered summary minutes o f convention
workshops. These minutes are itemized in the reel index of the user guide.
Researchers should note, however, that numerous minutes are filed with
the relevant committee and not in the Minutes file. Minutes found in the
convention files have been itemized in the reel index of the user guide.
Program: These files contain both draft and final copies of the convention
program. T h e correspondence provides a good overview o f t h e
sessions and for publicity purposes, invitations to guests and speakers, etc.
The Program files are very helpful in providing an initial orientation for each
of the conventions.
Publicity: These files detail the efforts of the national office, particularly the
Public Relations Department, headed by Henry Lee Moon, to secure
favorable publicity for the convention. They show the national office efforts
to have the convention well publicized in the host city, and they contain
correspondence between the Public Relations Director and the national
press, the black press, and national television and radio networks. Internal
memoranda discuss the problems and successes of these efforts.
Resolutions: T h e Resolutions files a r e usually divided into proposed
rank-and-file NAACP members. The adopted resolutions files provide the
final version of the resolutions voted on by the convention on a range of
issues, including communism and anti-communism; segregation; labor
policies; health, welfare, and housing policies; armed services and veterans'
affairs; international affairs and colonialism; and many others. Adopted
resolutions are indexed by subject in the subject index of the user guide.
Speeches: These files are also divided into two series-speakers
and
speeches. T h e Speakers files contain correspondence covering t h e
while the Speech files contain copies of the speeches themselves. The
speeches, which are itemized in the reel index, include statements from
such figures as Ralph Bunche, James B. Carey, Dr. Kenneth B. Clark, and
many others, as well as the speeches of NAACP officers such as Walter F.
White, Roy Wilkins, and Thurgood Marshall.
Time a n d Place: T h e Time a n d Place Committee w a s responsible f o r
discussions of the financial and logistical requirements of the national
convention, including hotel accommodations, meeting halls,
are frequent requests from local branches inviting the convention to meet in
their city.
Trade Union Conference: A separate session a t t h e convention f o r
these sessions consist principally of invitations to unions to send delegates
and of replies of union leaders, which are sometimes revealing of their
attitude toward the civil rights movement. The chief aim of the sessions was
to interest the union delegates in confronting employment discrimination
against blacks, but efforts were often made to enlist the support of the
union leaders in other NAACP objectives such as school desegregation
and the elimination of racial discrimination. Among the many labor
organizations represented in the files are the Teamsters, the Service
Employees International Union, the International Union of Electrical
Workers, the United Steelworkers, the United Brick and Clay Workers, the
International Hod Carriers, the United Auto Workers, the International
Ladies Garment Workers Union, the Laundry Workers International Union,
the Packing House Workers, the Jewish Labor Committee, and various
state CIO councils.
Youth: These files contain statistics on membership in NAACP Youth and
College Chapters, minutes of Youth Conference meetings, and reports to
the convention from the National Youth Work Committee, as well as internal
correspondence and memoranda. Numerous NAACP youth leaders supply
evidence of their political opinions and organizational skill. Meeting and
conference minutes detail recruitment strategy and the concern over
Communist infiltration.
