SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

The NAACP Branch Files for the period before 1940 provide a number of researchopportunities. First and foremost, they complement the records of the national office on all of themajor legal and political campaigns carried out before the 1940s. These campaigns--each ofwhich is available in a separate microfilm edition of NAACP national office files--include thecampaign for education equality, the voting rights campaign, the campaign against residentialsegregation, the "Scottsboro Boys" rape case, the crusade against lynching, the constant effort tosecure equal protection of the laws in the prosecution of criminal justice, and efforts to counterdiscrimination in employment and in other facets of civic life, including health care and publicfacilities. A summary of these complementary subject areas is provided below.

Apart from complementing earlier editions on major NAACP campaigns, the Branch Filesprovide a wealth of information about local networks of civil rights activists who worked with theNAACP at the grass-roots level. There are several notable features of these local networks. Oneof the most conspicuous is the extent to which women assumed roles of leadership within thelocal civil rights movement. Although the national office of the NAACP was dominated by maleleaders (with a few notable exceptions such as Mary White Ovington and Daisy Lampkin), theevidence in the branch files shows a much higher level of visibility for females at the local level.Even in branches without women leaders, there is frequent evidence of extensive female fund-raising, membership recruitment, and other essential but low-profile work. Several of the branchfiles detail networking between the NAACP and local women's clubs and voluntary organizations,with the latter often serving as a conduit for recruitment and fund-raising.

The Branch Files also shed light on the sociology of many local black communities from allregions of the United States. They provide information on housing conditions, economicopportunity, and political activities. The role of black institutions such as the church is oftenevident. The role of black professionals as leaders within many black communities is apparentfrom the Branch Files. Also, evidence can be found on the progress of blacks in such occupationsas law, business, and teaching.

Most of the branch leaders included in this edition wrote frequently to the national officeabout local conditions. Their reports often include detailed descriptions of the political makeup ofthe black community, including factions, rival leaders, and alternative movements. In some cities,the correspondents make clear, the voices of alternative movements are prevalent, includingCommunists, Garveyites, and political conservatives. In several instances, NAACP branchesthemselves are torn apart by factional controversies. The reports of local branch leaders oftendiscuss economic problems, and attitudes of both blacks and whites toward civil rights work andthe militant NAACP program. Black attitudes toward whites often find expression, includingattitudes toward prominent white politicians in the state or locality, toward white lawyers handlingcases involving blacks, and toward efforts at interracial cooperation with white liberals.Expressions concerning shifting allegiances of blacks to the major American political parties arealso evident.

The relations between the branches and the national office is another area with greatresearch potential. The branches were the main source of NAACP funding and membership, andthe branch files show that the national office struggled constantly to nurture the locals but also tokeep them in line with the national NAACP program. Strong-willed local leaders sometimescomplained about policies of the national leadership, faulted the national office for aloofness, and

haggled over the division of funds to be sent to the national office from local fund-raising activities.On the other hand, visits to the branch by national leaders were typically in great demand andwould usually be used as the stimulus for major fund-raising and membership drives. Several ofthe national leaders showed exceptional ability at energizing black communities during their visits,drawing large audiences at NAACP-sponsored meetings and benefits and recruiting newmembers. Field Secretaries William Pickens, Addie Hunton, Daisy Lampkin, and Juanita Jacksonwere especially effective, as many of the files show.

Because the work of the local branches mirrors the national program of the NAACP,researchers should note the existence of the earlier editions of Papers of the NAACP that havebeen developed around the subjects of the major NAACP campaigns.

Many of the branches both in the North and the South fought constantly for equal treatmentin public education. In the southern states where physical segregation was firmly entrenched,there were three key props to the system that imposed inferior education to blacks. First, salariespaid black schoolteachers were far below those paid to whites; hence teachers' salaryequalization was a key objective of many southern branches. Secondly, the physical facilitiesprovided for black education in the South were far inferior to those for whites, prompting theNAACP demand for equalization of education facilities (including buildings, books, and budgetshares). Finally, the demand for equal access to graduate and professional education at theuniversity level was completely denied to blacks in many southern states, and the Associationlaunched a series of university admission cases to press those states to make the necessaryexpenditures to establish separate black graduate programs or admit blacks to traditionally whitegraduate programs in law, journalism, medicine, and other fields.

Outside the South, education discrimination assumed a different range of practices. Some ofthese practices were blatant attempts to create segregated systems--such as the prolonged"strike" by whites of the Gary, Indiana, school system in the 1920s, which called for the removal ofblack students from city schools. Much more common were invidious attempts to createpredominantly black school districts through board of education districting policies. Other patternsof discrimination manifested themselves in various unofficial forms, including discriminationagainst hiring black schoolteachers, physical abuse of black pupils by white teachers, thechannelling of black students out of career training programs, and many others. The Association'sefforts against all of these practices at the national level are the subject of UPA's microfilmpublication, Papers of the NAACP, Part 3: The Campaign for Educational Equality, and especiallyin Part 3-A, which covers the years before 1940.

The fight against disfranchisement and voter discrimination is evident in many of the branchfiles, especially in the southern branches. Voter discrimination manifested itself in many guises,but the most common practice in the South between 1920 and 1940 was the "whites-only" primaryelection. It was a staple of Democratic parties in the South, though it was used by "lily-white"Republican organizations as well. The NAACP filed several law suits against the practice and wontwo decisions against it in the United States Supreme Court; yet the "white primary" endured intothe late 1940s. Apart from the "white primaries," there were various other techniques used todisfranchise southern blacks. The most common were various impediments in the voterregistration process, including "intelligence" tests and "understanding" exams administered byracist registrars, the poll tax, and plain violence or threats of physical reprisals. The NAACP'snational campaign against these abuses is covered by Part 4 of Papers of the NAACP, TheVoting Rights Campaign.

Outside the South, voter discrimination proved to be much less trenchant. As a result, thebranch files outside the South document a broad array of political activity within blackcommunities. This includes local as well as state and national political work. Several branch filesdocument the rise of NAACP branch leaders in local or state politics. On the other hand, somebranches record complaints that the political allegiances of branch officers interfere with vigorousNAACP work. There is material in most of the branch files on shifting allegiances of blacks to themajor American political parties. One of the most important events in this context is the campaignagainst John J. Parker, a Republican nominee to the U. S. Supreme Court in 1930. The protestagainst Parker--who earlier in his career advocated disfranchisement of blacks in the South--andthe follow-up campaign in the early 1930s against Republican senators who supported Parker's

nomination is a recurrent theme in many of the branch files. Disillusion with the Franklin 0.Roosevelt administration over discrimination in New Deal programs is also widely apparent. Bythe mid-1930s, NAACP-led efforts to secure federal antilynching legislation inspired waves ofassertiveness by black communities upon state legislators, congressmen, and senators.

The political activity of blacks recorded in the branch files is indexed in the subject index to

t h e user guide under "political activity" a n d "antilynching." Papers o f t h e NAACP, Part 7-B: A n t i - l y n c h i n g Legislative a n d Publicity Files, 1916-1955 complements t h e activity o n antilynching i n

the branch files; the anti-Parker campaign as well as state and local political activity amongnorthern and western black communities is documented in Papers of the NAACP, Parts 11 A andB, Special Subject Files.

Residential segregation is another pervasive theme throughout the branch files. Like voterdiscrimination, it was fostered by several means, legal and extralegal. Municipal (and state)segregation ordinances, although declared unconstitutional thanks to a case brought by theNAACP branch in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1916, continued to show up on statute books in variouscommunities. They were augmented by a system of racially restrictive "convenants" that becamepopular in the 1920s and were held constitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1926 when theyspread across the nation in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s. Where legal barriers seemedinsufficient, violence and intimidation often flared. One major case--the mobbing of the home ofDetroit physician Dr. Ossian Sweet--became a national cause celebre for the NAACP after 1925.But the Sweet case was only the most prominent of several such episodes. Numerous instancesof bombing and mob violence occurred against black homeowners throughout the North in the1920s, especially in the wake of the mass migration of southern blacks into northern industrialcenters. The entire issue of residential segregation is more fully covered in Papers of the NAACP,Part 5: The Campaign against Residential Segregation.

Like the Sweet case, the rape trials of the "Scottsboro Boys" in the early 1930s proved to bea major national (and even international) cause celebre. The Scottsboro case served as a symbolof southern injustice toward blacks, but it was also profoundly significant for a number of otherreasons. It established two important constitutional precedents in criminal trial procedure, one ofthese--the right of blacks to sit on southern juries--would prove to be a wedge in the voting rightscampaigns of the 1930s and 1940s. The case was perhaps even more significant for the battlelines it drew between the NAACP and the radical American left, led by the Communist party.Many branch files document the impact of the Scottsboro affair upon black communities acrossthe nation. In the South the new constitutional protections of right to counsel in capital cases andthe requirement that blacks be included on jury rolls were eagerly seized upon to challenge awide array of criminal proceedings. In the North, NAACP leaders in major urban centers wereprompted to assess relations with the radical left. The main body of records on the case iscontained in Papers of the NAACP, Part 6: The Scottsboro Case.

Lynching and mob violence were a constant plague upon many black communities,especially in the South. Such violations of the security of persons and their property prompted theNAACP to undertake its most aggressive political campaign of all before 1940--the campaign forfederal antilynching legislation. Branch files for the South provided reports on local lynchings and

acts o f m o b violence, including race riots. Branch files nationwide document t h e extensive g r a s s r o o t s campaign f o r antilynching legislation, including fund-raising, lobbying local congressmen

and U.S. senators, and publicity work. The NAACP's complete investigative files on lynching andmob violence are contained in Papers of the NAACP, Part 7-A: The Anti-Lynching Campaign. Part7-B: Anti-Lynching Legislative and Publicity Files covers the NAACP's political efforts on behalf offederal antilynching legislation.

Discriminatory applications of criminal laws were a frequent occurrence in many blackcommunities, both in the North and in the South. The NAACP was responsible for establishingseveral constitutional precedents before the U.S. Supreme Court in the area of criminal justice,and in many local branches dramatic criminal prosecutions--typically involving the deathpenalty--served to launch the branch and its leaders to local prominence. The means ofdiscrimination were many, including false arrests, police brutality, forced confessions, exclusion ofblacks from jury service, and others. The NAACP struggled to apply the hard-won constitutional

vii

precedents in later cases. See Papers of the NAACP Part 8-A: Discrimination in the CriminalJustice System for the files of the national office before 1940.

A few of the branch files contain information about blacks in military service during and afterWorld War I. These files serve to complement the more complete picture found in Papers of theNAACP, Part 9-A: Discrimination in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Employment discrimination is a large topic of concern in many of the branch files.Discriminatory practices and racial exclusion by labor unions, private employers, plantationowners, and government agencies was pervasive throughout America before 1940. Employmentdiscrimination was a major factor contributing to the depressed economic condition of many of theblack communities covered by the branch files. Among the federal agencies, New Dealdepression relief programs came in for especially bitter complaints from NAACP branch leadersfor the discriminatory policies adopted by local relief administrators. Unsurprisingly, the District ofColumbia branch spearheaded efforts to change racial hiring policies in federal agencies anddepartments, with some limited success. The plight of sharecroppers and tenant farmers isoccasionally revealed in reports from southern branches, while labor union discrimination is arecurrent topic in northern branch reports. Discrimination by railroad unions is a nationwidecomplaint. The entire topic of employment discrimination before 1940 is the subject of Papers ofthe NAACP, Part 10: Peonage, Labor, and the New Deal.

Many of the topics that do not fall clearly into the areas covered by Parts 3 through 10 ofPapers of the NAACP can be found in some greater detail in Part 11 of the publication, SpecialSubject Files, including the segregation of public facilities, the protest campaign against themotion picture, Birth of a Nation, and the activities of the Ku Klux Klan. Researchers are advisedto consult the user guides for all previous parts of the microfilm for further information on any ofthe topics covered in the branch files that make up this edition.

Each of the topics discussed in the foregoing Scope and Content Note is indexed to the filefolder level in the Subject Index of the user guide to this edition. There are a few recurrent mattersof more local interest that have not been indexed but might be noted here. These include routinematters of fund-raising and social functions that are evident in practically every file of the edition.In addition, factional disputes have not been indexed, nor have allegations of financial irregularityor malfeasance. The establishment of the branch has not been indexed, but the establishment ofyouth divisions and women's auxiliaries has been indexed. Regular membership and organizingcampaigns have not been indexed, but visits to the branches by national office organizers, suchas William Pickens, Daisy Lampkin, and others has been indexed. In summary, issues of nationalpolitical importance and nationally significant leaders are traceable through the subject index, butresearchers more interested in the social history of a branch or community will find much morematerial in the original documents than will be conveyed by a search of the index.

NOTE ON SOURCES

All documents reproduced for this edition are held by the Manuscripts Division of the Libraryof Congress, Washington, D.C. The original NAACP collection at the Library of Congress issubdivided into four accession groups: Group I, 1909-1939; Group II, 1940-1955; Group III,1956-1965; and Group IV, 1966. The branch files for this edition were drawn exclusively fromGroup 1, 1909-1939.

EDITORIAL NOTE

The present edition was compiled after a thorough survey by Professors August Meier andJohn H. Bracey of all pre-1940 branch files in Group I of the NAACP collection. Every branchwhose records contained a significant amount of correspondence regarding substantive legal andpolitical issues involving the NAACP were selected for this edition. Branch files containing onlyroutine correspondence, reports on new members, and reports on general fund-raising activitieshave been omitted because of the paucity of their research value. They may be consulted in theoriginal collection at the Library of Congress.
