Available via ProQuest History Vault, the content in the module NAACP Papers – Board of Directors, Annual Conferences, Major Speeches and National Staff Files consists of internal memos, legal briefings, and direct action summaries from national, legal, and branch offices throughout the country. It charts the NAACP’s work and delivers a first-hand view into crucial issues: lynching, school desegregation, and discrimination in the military, the criminal justice system, employment, and housing, among others. It provides a comprehensive view of the NAACP’s evolution, policies, and achievements from 1909–1970.
The module also collects numerous special reports written by the association’s officers and committees on a wide range of issues including the Ku Klux Klan, discrimination in public employment, the depiction of Blacks in motion pictures, economic equality, the church and civil rights, the changing attitudes of Black youth, and more.
This is only one of 6 modules documenting a century of civil rights activism.
