Better Babies [suffrage pamphlet]
Description
An account of the resource
National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) pamphlet on how woman suffrage improves children's health. <br />Cover editorial cartoon by Rose O'Neill. Originally published in <em><a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=chi.21171404&view=2up&seq=132" target="_blank" title="The Woman Voter on HathiTrust.org" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Woman Voter</a>, </em>May 1916.<br /><br />Text excerpts: <br /><br />"300,000 babies die every year in the United States before they are one year old. <br /><br />The death of a baby in at least 50 per cent. of the cases is due to <strong>preventable causes.</strong><br /><br />Five times as many babies die in crowded tenement districts as in a well-to-do quarter of a city. Lack of air and sunshine, poor food, bad sanitation, overwork of the mothers, both before and after marriage, above all <strong>ignorance</strong> on the part of the <strong>mother</strong>, are responsible for most of these deaths....<br /><br />Isn't it evident that when mothers are represented in govenment and their opinions and interests are consulted, babies have a better chance? Isn't it proved that women with the ballot do <strong>not</strong> neglect their home and babies?<br /><br /><strong>Giving</strong> the <strong>ballot</strong> to <strong>women</strong> not only <strong>helps</strong> them to <strong>do</strong> their <strong>own work</strong> more <strong>effectively</strong>, but <strong>actually increases</strong> the <strong>wealth</strong> of the <strong>nation.</strong>"

Title
A name given to the resource
The Southern Frontier, vol. 1, no. 11
Description
An account of the resource
Published by Commission on Interracial Cooperation (CIC), The Southern Frontier was a monthly newsletter, first issued in January, 1940. Aiming to share the stories overlooked by traditional newspapers, the newsletter published stories of social progress, as well as stories of racial injustices faced by African Americans across the American South. <br /><br />As described by the then President of the CIC Howard W. Odum, the name The Southern Frontier alludes to the need for even greater pioneering and progress in the social and cultural frontiers, the American South being the most turbulent field in reference to race relations and progress at the time.<br /><br />Vol. 1, No. 11 contains contributions by:<br /><br />William B. Ruggles<br />Carter Wesley<br />John Wesley Dobbs<br />Robert C. Weaver<br /><br />Selected articles are:<br /><br />“The Negro Vote” – Column on African American party loyalty, and a critique of the Republican party’s appeasement and isolationist tendencies during the rise of Hitler in Europe.<br /><br />“Local Interracial Committees are Busy” – A page of short columns, detailing the activities of regional interracial committees in Georgia, Texas, and South Carolina.<br /><br />Articles on p. 3 concern the participation of African Americans in the Armed Forces. Dr. F. D. Patterson of Tuskegee Institute, Dr. Rayford Logan of Howard University, and Dr. Howard Long of the public schools of the District of Columbia visited the White House to discuss with the President possibilities of African Americans participation in the national defense. The work of Dr. Robert C. Weaver in this regard is noted.<br /><br />There is a brief notice (p. 2) that October 20 the Post Office Department issued a special stamp commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution abolishing slavery. In April (1940) a stamp with the likeness of Booker T. Washington was the first time that an African American was honored in this way.

Description
An account of the resource
Informational pamphlet about the National Health Circle for Colored People, Inc. <br /><br />The National Health Circle for Colored People developed out of the Circle for Negro Relief, an organization that helped meet the needs for black soldiers and their families during World War I. In 1919 the Circle was reorganized as a peace time program for the promotion of public health work in African American communities. <a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015012320084&view=2up&seq=238" target="_blank" title="photograph of Belle Davis" rel="noreferrer noopener">Belle Davis</a>, a graduate of Fisk University, served as the Circle's executive secretary. Davis made over <a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015012320084&view=2up&seq=236" target="_blank" title="Pathfinders, by Adah B Thoms" rel="noreferrer noopener">25,000 visits</a> in nine years to promote public health and welfare and raise awareness of the needs of black communities. <br /><br />The National Health Circle for Colored People also worked to recruit, educate and place African American public health nurses. They raised money for scholarship loans and at one time provided office space for the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Association_of_Colored_Graduate_Nurses" target="_blank" title="NACGN in Wikipedia" rel="noreferrer noopener">National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses</a>. <br /><br />This pamphlet list six "Objects of the Organization" and speaks to public health conditions, their causes, and the remedy. An appeal to both white and black citizens for membership is followed by endorsements from Theodore Roosevelt, R. R. Moton, Haven Emerson, M.D., and C. Everit Macy. <br /><br />Dr. Will W. Alexander of the <a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/browse?tags=Commission+on+Interracial+Cooperation" target="_blank" title="materials related to the CIC" rel="noreferrer noopener">Commission on Interracial Cooperation</a> is listed as a member of the Board of Directors. <br /><br />The Circle notes that "tuberculosis kills eleven times as many Negro boys between the ages of ten and fourteen as white boys, and about eight times as many colored girls as white girls." Life expectancy of blacks was less than that of whites, and as many as 96 out of every 1,000 African American babies died before their first birthday. <br /><br />Pictured on the front cover are two Scholarship Nurses of the Circle, Alice Alvenia Sightler, R.N., graduate of Mercy Hospital, Philadelphia (left) and Agnes Boozer, R.N., graduate of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harlem_Hospital_School_of_Nursing" target="_blank" title="Harlem Hospital School of Nursing" rel="noreferrer noopener">Harlem Hospital School of Nursing</a> (right).
