x SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

This series of Papers of the NAACP consists of the General Department Files of the NAACP’s Branch Department, arguably one of the association’s most important and influential departments. The Branch Department General Department Files contain extensive documentation on the nationwide surge of civil rights activity that occurred after the Supreme Court’s 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision and the 381-day Montgomery, Alabama, bus boycott of 1955–1956. Between 1946 and 1976, the Branch Department was led by Gloster B. Current. Current came to the national office from Detroit, where he had built that city’s NAACP branch into one of the association’s largest branches. Current used some of his Detroit experiences to forge the Branch Department into an effective unit that reached all of the over fifteen hundred NAACP branches across the country. Current brought several major innovations to the Branch Department. One of these was the creation of regional field offices, each one staffed with a regional field secretary and state field secretaries. Current established the regional office network in order to provide a full-time professional staff to link the local branches with the NAACP’s national headquarters in New York. At the 1961 annual staff conference, Current told his field secretaries what he expected of them: “Every field secretary should be able to go into a community, find out its problems, develop a program of action, and help the branch to get the job done” (Reel 3, Frame 0342). Current’s staff of regional and state field secretaries boasted some of the association’s most outstanding leaders, including Medgar Evers, Charles Evers, Robert W. Saunders, L. C. Bates, W. C. Patton, Vernon E. Jordan Jr., and Clarence A. Laws. Several outstanding women leaders also headed regional or state field secretary posts, including Gertrude Gorman, Althea T. L. Simmons, Serena E. Davis, Ruby Hurley, and Tarea Hall Pittman. (Reports and correspondence written by Hurley and Pittman can be found in UPA’s Papers of the NAACP, Part 25, Series A and Series B.) Along with the creation of a regional staff, another major innovation Current brought to the Branch Department was extension of the NAACP’s comprehensive reporting system to the regional, state, and local level. Current required his field secretaries to submit detailed monthly reports summarizing their activities; the status of NAACP initiatives in school desegregation,

xi housing, employment, voter registration, legal defense, membership, fund- raising, and desegregation of public facilities; and any other major developments in their areas. The majority of the files in this series of Papers of the NAACP, therefore, consist of the correspondence and reports of the regional and state field secretaries. The most outstanding feature of these reports is their extraordinary detail. For example, reports by Mississippi field secretary Medgar Evers discuss voter registration campaigns throughout Mississippi, NAACP branch meetings he attended, NAACP–led boycotts of stores in Clarksdale and Jackson, and the tragic case of Clyde Kennard who was arrested on trumped-up charges because he tried to desegregate Mississippi State College. Reports from other field secretaries discuss some of the most well-known civil rights episodes of the 1950s and 1960s. The reports of Arkansas field secretary L. C. Bates chronicle the Little Rock, Arkansas, school desegregation crisis; reports by Georgia field secretary Vernon E. Jordan Jr. mention the Albany freedom movement. Perhaps the most outstanding feature of these field secretaries’ reports, however, is the extent to which they document other less well-known episodes and, in so doing, reveal the nationwide explosion of civil rights activity that occurred after 1955. For example, the reports of New York–New England area field secretary Thomas H. Allen describe civil rights demonstrations throughout the region and efforts to create employment opportunities for African Americans. The correspondence of Althea T. L. Simmons reveals a vibrant movement for civil rights in California. Other less well-known episodes mentioned in these files include economic reprisals against African Americans for voter registration in Haywood and Fayette Counties, Tennessee; demonstrations in Cairo, Illinois; and the Sanford, North Carolina, freedom movement. These are just a few examples of the type of detail that can be found throughout the files of the field secretaries. Another of Current’s accomplishments during the period covered by this edition was his ability to maintain the membership level of the association, despite legal and extralegal attacks on the NAACP, particularly in southern states. By 1946, the NAACP could boast almost 450,000 members in over fifteen hundred branches, and Current’s department was able to retain much of this membership throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Maintaining high membership levels was essential to the success of the NAACP—not only did it validate the association’s program and approach, but it was also largely through membership dues that the association financed much of its legal program and paid for its staff of field secretaries. Several files on branch disputes show how Current and his staff tried to quickly resolve these disputes and resume the main business of the association. A file on the “Adopt-A-Branch Plan” indicates one of the ways in which the Branch Department attempted to respond to attacks on the NAACP in the South. The plan required branches outside the South to raise their

xii membership quotas in order to offset the loss of memberships resulting from the ban on NAACP operations in Alabama, Louisiana, and Texas. Detailed membership statistics and other correspondence pertaining to memberships can be found beginning at Frame 0104 of Reel 23 and continuing to Frame 0680 of Reel 28. This edition of Branch Department Files also shows Gloster Current to have been a tireless leader who traveled across the country to speak about NAACP programs and who was aware of some of the most pressing issues facing the NAACP and the civil rights movement. Current’s speeches typically included summaries of NAACP accomplishments and usually commented on some of the most pressing issues facing the civil rights movement and the nation. For example, many of his speeches commented on the need for civil rights legislation, particularly legislation that included fair employment provisions. Current frequently commented on the connection between the civil rights movement and international affairs. In a speech to the Sullivan County, Kentucky, branch, in August 1958, Current said: “A nation which permits mistreatment of racial minorities within its borders, of its own citizens, cannot convince the rest of the world, particularly that part of the world which is stirring for freedom and expression, that its aims are sincere” (Reel 11, Frame 0530). Current also recognized the important leadership role held by women in the NAACP. In an undated speech (Reel 12, Frame 0219), he talked about the pioneering leadership of Mary White Ovington, Cecilia Parker Wooley, and Ida B. Wells-Barnett. He also listed the number of women serving as presidents and executive secretaries of NAACP branches. Current succinctly stated: “Local branches could not function without women.” According to his statistics, 10 percent of branch presidents and 55 percent of branch secretaries were women. Papers of the NAACP, Part 25: Branch Department Files, is complemented by the Selected Branch Files in Parts 12, 26, and 27 of Papers of the NAACP. Taken together, these four parts provide a substantial amount of documentation on the functioning of the Branch Department, local NAACP branches, and state conferences. Researchers should also be aware that the branch files can be used most effectively in conjunction with other parts of UPA’s Papers of the NAACP. Especially relevant in this regard is Part 23: Legal Department Case Files, 1956–1965. The Legal Department Case Files document many of the local cases in great detail. Other parts of UPA’s Papers of the NAACP that provide additional information on the period from 1956 to 1965 are the following: • Part 1: Meetings of the Board of Directors, Records of Annual Conferences, Major Speeches, and Special Reports, Supplements for 1956– 1960 and 1961–1965 • Part 3: The Campaign for Educational Equality, Series D: Central Office Records, 1956–1965

xiii • Supplement to Part 4, Voting Rights, General Office Files, 1956–1965 • Supplement to Part 5, Residential Segregation, General Office Files, 1956–1965 • Supplement to Part 13, The NAACP and Labor, 1956–1965 • Supplement to Part 16, Board of Directors Files, 1956–1965 • Supplement to Part 17, National Staff Files, 1956–1965 • Part 19: Youth File, Series D: 1956–1965, Youth Department Files • Part 20: White Resistance and Reprisals, 1956–1965 • Part 21: NAACP Relations with the Modern Civil Rights Movement • Part 22: Legal Department Administrative Files, 1956–1965 • Part 24: Special Subjects, 1956–1965

UPA has also filmed several other collections that provide further documentation on the modern civil rights movement. These include: • Centers of the Southern Struggle: FBI Files on Selma, Memphis, Montgomery, Albany, and St. Augustine • Civil Rights During the Johnson Administration, 1963–1969 • Civil Rights During the Kennedy Administration • The Claude A. Barnett Papers • Congress of Racial Equality Papers, 1959–1976 • The Ivy Leaf, 1921–1998: A Chronicle of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority • The Martin Luther King Jr. FBI File • Papers of A.
