Name of Creator(s): National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Savannah Branch Westley Wallace Law (W. W. Law)

Administrative History: In February of 1917, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People’s (NAACP) Field Secretary, James Weldon Johnson (1871-1938), met with a group of prominent Savannah African Americans to establish a Savannah branch. Joseph C. Lindsay was elected as the first president and by December of 1918 the branch had 79 members. One of the first activities of the Savannah branch was to work with Savannah Mayor Wallace Pierpont as they protested the proposed move of the “red light district” to the predominantly African American neighborhood west of West Broad Street. Throughout the 1920s and early 1930s the Savannah branch fluctuated in membership and their main activities included funding lawyers for wrongly convicted African Americans and hosting national NAACP leaders to encourage membership. However, by 1939 the branch was considered inactive and the charter was revoked.

The revival of the NAACP Savannah branch was made possible through the leadership of Reverend Ralph Mark Gilbert (1899-1956). Recently installed as Reverend at First African Baptist Church, Gilbert called a meeting in March 1942 to reestablish the branch. Gilbert was elected President and served the Savannah branch in this capacity from 1942 to 1950. Under Gilbert, the branch’s role in the Civil Rights Movement grew through the use of new confrontational protest techniques and the establishment of a youth council. The Savannah Youth Council was formed in January 1943, and by March of that year had 614 members with Norman L. Gadsden serving as the first president. Reverend Gilbert was also instrumental in the establishment of the Georgia State Conference of NAACP branches. In January 1943, representatives from Georgia NAACP branches met in Savannah to convene the first meeting of the conference and elected Gilbert as the first state President; he served until 1950. Gilbert believed the Georgia State Conference was integral to establishing more branches throughout the state, especially in rural towns and colleges.

In 1950, the NAACP Savannah branch elected Westley Wallace “W. W.” Law (1923-2002) President, who at 27 years old was, the youngest branch president in the country. Law had previously served as Savannah Youth Council President and was a mentee of Gilbert’s. Law also served on the NAACP Board of Directors from 1950 to 1980 and was the Georgia State Conference President, from 1955 to 1967. For his leadership in the NAACP, Law faced several instances of discrimination, specifically in 1961 when he was fired from his position with the United States Post Office. Law was only reinstated after national leaders and lawyers advocated on his behalf.

W. W. Law led several protests, boycotts, mass meetings, sit-ins, pickets, and marches, leading to the successful integration of several Savannah institutions. The years 1960 and 1961 were the height of these protests, including a sixteen-month boycott of downtown Savannah businesses that refused to service or hire African Americans. Boycotts and protests made such a significant revenue impact, many store owners began to implement integration plans by July 1961. Other Savannah facilities integrated as a result of NAACP protests include public libraries, recreational facilities, movie theaters, the municipal golf course and auditorium, Tybee Beach, and public transportation. A lawsuit fought by NAACP lawyers in 1963, Ralph Stell v. Savannah-Chatham County Board of Public Education, led to the integration of public schools in Savannah. The NAACP recruited students to attend all-white schools, and in the fall of 1963, nineteen African American students integrated Savannah High and Groves High schools. All of this was achieved before the passage of the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 by Congress.

The NAACP Savannah branch continued to fight for equal rights throughout the 1970s and 1980s by taking on employee discrimination cases, protesting police violence against African Americans, and holding voter registration drives to elect African American leaders. NAACP members faced discrimination and violence for their efforts to end racial biases. One example of such violence was the death of City of Savannah Alderman Robbie Robinson, a NAACP lawyer murdered by a mail bomb sent by Walter Moody in December 1989.

Law resigned as NAACP Savannah branch President in 1976 and became President Emeritus of the Savannah branch for his tireless and sacrificial efforts to the Civil Rights Movement. Curtis Cooper succeeded him as Savannah branch President until his death in 2000. The NAACP Savannah branch is still active, hosting voter registration drives, political debates, and other activities, with offices located on Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard.

The activity records reflect the participation of members in annual conventions, fundraising dinners, symposiums, banquets, marches, resolutions voted on by the membership at conventions, and receptions honoring national leaders. The national annual convention records are detailed and start from the 38th Annual Convention in 1947 to the 89th Annual Convention in 1998. Other annual conventions include the Georgia State Conference, national youth conventions, leadership conferences, and regional conventions. The convention records include delegate kits, reports, resolutions, speeches, event programs, and press releases.

The material within these packets include promotional items for sponsoring businesses, maps and brochures on the city the convention was held in, notepads for delegates, and identification badges. Unique conferences that delegates attended include the Midcentury White House Conference on Children and Youth in Washington, D. C., December 3-7, 1950, and the National Youth Legislative conferences held at Howard University, Washington, D.C. in 1948 and 1954.
