Description
An account of the resource
First <em>Bulletin</em> of the <a href="https://gallery.library.vcu.edu/exhibits/show/making-vcu/early-social-work-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="online exhibit of school history">Richmond School of Social Economy</a>. This school would change names at several points in its history, becoming the School of Social Work and Public Health, the Richmond Professional Institute, and, after merging with the Medical College of Virginia, Virginia Commonwealth University. <br /><br />Stamped on cover: "Name changed from Richmond School of Social Economy to Virginia School of Social Work."<br /><br />Address also changed with a stamp from "<a href="https://www.google.com/maps/@37.540251,-77.4386129,3a,75y,278.2h,118.74t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sNAutB6LXUUJ1LdXXZW804g!2e0!7i16384!8i8192" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="View this location in Google Street View">6-8 North 6th Street</a>" to "1112 Capitol St." Richmond, VA.<br /><br />This bulletin describes the classes, curriculum, and field work offerred by the new Richmond School of Social Economy along three tracks: general, public health nursing, and recreation. Entrance requirements, registration, fees, scholarships, library facilities, board and other matters are outlined. The names of the Board of Directors, Administrative Officers, Faculty and Special Lecturers are listed. <br /><br />An <a href="https://socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/?p=23775&preview=true" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="ad from the Richmond Times-Dispatch, July 22, 1917">advertisement</a> for the first term declared: "Usual Opportunities Offerred For specialization in Public Health Nursing, Church Work, Medical Social Work, Juvenile Court and Playground Work."<br /><br />Field work in the first year included the <a href="https://socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/corrections/virginia-home-and-industrial-school-for-girls/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="history of the institution">Virginia Home and Industrial School for Girls</a>, a reform school in Bon Air, Va. The superintendent, Anna M. Petersen taught eugenics at the RSSE. <br /><br />---<br /><br />Transcriptions of <em>Richmond Times-Dispatch</em> articles describing the events surrounding the establishment of the school may be found at the Social Welfare History Project. These describe the period from October 1916, when serious conversations about starting a school began to be reported in the press, to July 1917 when Howard H. Hibbs, began as the school's first director. <br /><br />The efforts of Richmond and Petersburg citizens such as Orie Latham Hatcher, Virginia McKenney (later Claiborne), Father Charles Hannigan, Nannie Minor, the Rev. J. T. Mastin, May Lansfield Keller, Katherine H. Hawes, the Rev. H. C. D. Maclachlan, and Agnes Randolph were important in the movement from felt need, to the idea of a school, and finally to the reality of classes and field work. <br /><br />Additional transcriptions in the Social Welfare History Project concern reporting of the school's opening and first term. <br /><br />Excerpts from the <em>Bulletin</em>: <br />
<p>The Richmond School of Social Economy was incorporated April 17<sup>th</sup> with the following Board of Directors;</p>
<p>Mr. J. J. Scherer, Jr. … President <br />Mr. Wortley F. Rudd … Vice-President <br />Miss Virginia S. McKenney ... Secretary <br />Mr. F. B. Dunford … Treasurer</p>

Planks from the Suffrage Platform --as Stated by Mrs. C. C. Catt [anti-suffrage handbill]
Description
An account of the resource
Anti-suffrage handbill uses quotations to make its case that woman suffrage supports racial equality and will lead to intermarriage, advances feminist views, is unpatriotic and does not support the war effort or the Constitution of the United States. The Equal Suffrage League of Virginia and the Equal Suffrage League of Richmond are both named. <br /><br />The writer of the handbill asks, "Is our Constitution another scrap of paper? Do YOU endorse these doctrines?"

Description
An account of the resource
Permit issued by the Mayor of Richmond, Va. allowing the Equal Suffrage League of Virginia to hold public meetings on the streets and in the parks of the city. <br /><br />On May 1, 1915, the ESL were denied permission to speak on city streets by Mayor Ainslie, on the grounds that, while there was no law forbidding them to speak, neither was there one that allowed him to grant them a permit. The women proceeded to give speeches from inside an automobile. The event was documented and reported by the <a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045389/1915-05-02/ed-1/seq-1/" target="_blank" title="Chronicling America, Library of Congress historic newspapers" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>Richmond Times-Dispatch</em> on May, 2, 1915.</a> <br /><br /><a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/show/562" target="_blank" title="view photographs of the woman suffrage rally" rel="noreferrer noopener">Photographs from the May 1 rally</a> may be found in the Social Welfare History Image Portal.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This document is a single sheet of paper printed on both sides. The essay, "Does the Bible Teach the Equality of Men and Women?" was written by Mrs. Milton McNeilan (<a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=LTUTAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA525-IA1&lpg=PA525-IA1&dq=milton+mcneilan+parkersburg+wv&source=bl&ots=AeTZg0e0BL&sig=ACfU3U1YPjLoRsC0Dh9L6BGoUxJzUm0Bxw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjtg7D7_bDoAhVkYTUKHQVTDCsQ6AEwAHoECAYQAQ#v=onepage&q=milton%20mcneilan%20parkersburg%20wv&f=false" target="_blank" title="History of West Virginia" rel="noreferrer noopener">Clarabel James McNeilan</a>) a member of the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage, and State Organizer of the West Virginia Equal Suffrage Association, 1914-15. </p>
<p>Excerpts:</p>
<p>In the first chapter of Genesis we are told that after the other things were created “God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” And he said, “Let them dominion over the fish of the sea, the foul [sic] of the air, “ etc. But he did not say that ONE WAS TO HAVE DOMINION OVER THE OTHER. There is not a suggestion of this….</p>
<p>“It was not until after the fall of man that the curse was pronounced the material curse for the man, bondage for the woman. …”</p>
<p>In all Christ’s teachings we do not find even a suggestion of an “inferior sex....”</p>
<p>Those who read the Bible intelligently, and understand the history of that period, will see that the place where it seems to teach the subjection and inequality of women, merely pertain to ancient Oriental customs and traditions, and are not the teachings of Christ. There is absolutely nothing in the latter to indicate that He would prohibit women from having a share in the government, merely because they are women. These accounts of ancient customs and traditions do not apply to women of today and more than they do to men of today, and have nothing to do with Christianity, as Christ taught it. If we are followers of Christ let us teach and quote Christ, who taught justice and equality for all, as well as an all embracing love, ‘love the fulfilling of the law.’ That is Christianity and what we should get from the Bible.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
A pamphlet explaining the origin and mission 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>, an organization founded in January, 1919 in Atlanta. The group sought to further "mutual understanding, peace, and good will" between the white and black communities. The group opposed lynching and mob violence, and sought to improve interracial attitudes, correct injustices and improve conditions affecting African Americans. <br /><br />The CIC was a moderate group that called itself a "movement" instead of an organization. "The philosophy of the movement is not that of 'seeking to solve the race problem,' but simply that of taking the next practicable step in the direction of interracial justice and good will" (p. 4).

Burnt Cork and Crime
Description
An account of the resource
Pamphlet published by the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, an organization which opposed lynching and promoted interracial dialogue and cooperation.<br /><br />Described on the cover as "stories summarized from press reports," the pamphlets relates incidents in which crimes were committed by persons posing as African Americans. These imposters blackened their faces and hands with burnt cork. <br /><br />Other stories describe false accusations by whites, and often white women, against black men. <br /><br />Excerpt from p.1<br />"In St. Louis some time ago a robber caught with blackened face stated that there was an organized group of white bandits who always operated under the mask of color. In this way, he said, it was easy to fool the officers, and in some cases even to assist in the search for the suspected Negro and 'identify' him when caught."<br /><br />p. 6 "The meaning is obvious, however, as it relates to hasty judgment, hysteria, mob violence, and the assumption that every Negro is guilty who anybody seeks to accuse. It suggests also that the statistics of Negro crime, now happily changing for the better, might be further lightened if all the facts were known and the mask of color torn away."

Popular Fallacies About Race Relations
Description
An account of the resource
A pamphlet addressing resistance from white Americans to racial integration. Written by the Educational Director of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation. <br /><br />The writer, Robert B. Eleazer, refutes the "Curse of Ham" as a justification for slavery or servitude. <br />He also argues against popular fallacies such as "the Negro is all right in his place;" "no genuine Negro ever showed real intelligence or abillity;" "the Negro has no worthy part in American history;" "Negroes want to break down the social line between the races;" and the idea of racial superiority. <br /><br />Excerpt:<br />"Nobody knows which is the superior race--or whether there be one. All we can say is that we differ in physical characteristics and in degree and kind of development....It behooves us all to be humble; to remember that we are all human beings, with mutual obligations of respect and good will."

National Busing Report, Vol. 1, No. 11, October 1972
Description
An account of the resource
This is a publication of the anti-busing Save Our Neighborhood Schools, Inc., (SONS) organization. <br /><br />In the 1970 case, Bradley v. Richmond School Board, Judge Robert Merhige, Jr., ordered limited citywide busing in order to integrate Richmond, Virginia, schools, resulting in further white flight. Opposition from white parents was fierce and organized, as evidenced by groups such as SONS. <br /><br />Merhige's decision was overturned on June 6, 1972 by the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, which was affirmed a year later in the U.S. Supreme Court. The Court subsequently invalidated most busing across city-county boundaries and, unable to counteract white flight, many city schools again became overwhelmingly black. <br /><br />The trend continued through the late-twentieth century, and Richmond neighborhoods were more racially segregated in 1980 than in 1960.<br /><br />Detail from page 3: editorial cartoon by Jack Knox, reprinted from the <em>Nashville Banner</em>

S.O.N.S. Newsletter, January 22, 1972
Description
An account of the resource
This newsletter is a publication of the anti-busing Save Our Neighborhood Schools, Inc., (SONS) organization. A subscription form listing the Board of Directors for SONS is also shown. <br /><br />In the 1970 case, Bradley v. Richmond School Board, Judge Robert Merhige, Jr., ordered limited citywide busing in order to integrate Richmond, Virginia, schools, resulting in further white flight. Opposition from white parents was fierce and organized, as evidenced by groups such as SONS. <br /><br />Merhige's decision was overturned on June 6, 1972 by the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, which was affirmed a year later in the U.S. Supreme Court. The Court subsequently invalidated most busing across city-county boundaries and, unable to counteract white flight, many city schools again became overwhelmingly black. The trend continued through the late-twentieth century, and Richmond neighborhoods were more racially segregated in 1980 than in 1960. <br /><br />From the Subscription Form: <br /><br />"Dedicated to the preservation of the neighborhood school concept in the education of our young people." <br /><br />Board of Directors<br /><a href="https://www.dailypress.com/news/dp-xpm-20000423-2000-04-23-0004230006-story.html" target="_blank" title=""Haskins Still Remains Consistent" Daily Press article" rel="noreferrer noopener">William F.

Classroom Desegregation Will Never Work [broadside]
Description
An account of the resource
This broadside asserts “there is a basic, inherent mental difference between the races,” citing IQ tests and a booklet by Henry E. Garrett, <em>How Classroom Desegregation Will Work</em> (1966). <br /><br /><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Garrett_(psychologist)" target="_blank" title="biographical information on Wikipedia" rel="noreferrer noopener">Henry Garrett</a> was at the forefront of a resurgence of racial pseudoscience in the mid-twentieth century. He argued for segregation in <em>Davis v. County School Board</em> (one of the cases in Brown v. Board), compiled a pamphlet of his essays for the white supremacist <a href="http://www.citizenscouncils.com/" target="_blank" title="About Citizens' Council" rel="noreferrer noopener">Citizens’ Council</a>, and his views were used to forward the work of other eugenicists. <br /><br />Excerpts:<br /><br />That is why Classroom Desegregation will <em>never</em> work: There is a basic, inherent mental difference between the races. If you mix the classrooms and gear the standards to Negroes, you deny White children their optimum chance. If you gear the standards to White mentality, you develop frustrations on the part of Negroes, with subsequent antagonisms, drop-outs, and "delinquencies...."<br /><br />Race differences, as an issue, is the overriding problem of our time. These differences are something too few of us know about. Now is the time to learn, before it is too late. If you <em>know</em> what you are talking about, you can help defeat Black Power. Only the truth will keep us free.

What is Socialism? <br />Socialism is against Christian marriage. <br />Socialism is against the Christian family. <br />Socialism is against the holding of private property. <br />Socialism is against Christianity. <br />Socialism is against the Bible. <br /><br />2. If you hold your marriage, your family life, your home, your religion, as sacred, dear and inviolate, to be preserved for yourself, and for your children, for all time, then work with all your might against Socialism's vanguard--Woman's Suffrage. <br /><br />3. In a parade in New York City last November they openly marched together. The Woman Suffragists as the vanguard, with their yellow flags. The Socialists behind with their red flags. <br /><br />4.

Nobody Knows How Dry They Are [1932 Presidential Election handbill]
Description
An account of the resource
This handbill advocates for the election of Democratic presidential candidate Franklin D. Roosevelt and his running mate John Nance Garner, and for the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. The handbill title calls to mind a popular refrain, "How Dry I Am."<br /><br />An editorial cartoon by <a href="https://history.nebraska.gov/blog/flashback-friday-encore-comics-cartoons-drawings-and-doodles" target="_blank" title="Nebraska Historical Society website" rel="noreferrer noopener">Guy Spencer</a> (reprinted from the <em>Omaha World Herald</em>) points out that Republican Herbert Hoover and his running mate, Charles Curtis, hold opposing positions on the issue of repeal. <br /><br /><br /><br />Excerpt:<br /><br />"The Republican platform and Republican spokesmen have attempted to mislead the people about prohibition as they have done about other important economic and political questions. <br /><br />Do you want evasion and hypocrisy on vital national issues? <br />Do you admire leaders whose principles shift with every political wind? <br /><br />Democrats Have: A Clear Platform--Honest Candidates <br />The Democratic Plank on Prohibition reads: 'We favor repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment.' In order to obtain much needed government revenue, it further favors immediate modification of the Volstead Act to legalize light wines and beer. <br /><br />The Democratic Platform as vigorously as the Republican demands: <br />(1) Strict federal protection to states that choose to remain dry <br />(2) Prevention of the return of the saloon"

Jefferson Ward: List of Qualified Voters, Election Tuesday, November 7, 1933
Description
An account of the resource
<p>This 1933 booklet provides “a list of persons in Jefferson Ward in the City of Richmond, who have paid their State Poll Taxes.” Poll taxes were enacted by many southern states after Reconstruction to suppress African American voting. Such taxes were a precondition for voting and thus disenfranchised those who could not pay the fee. <br /><br />Use of the poll tax in federal elections was abolished with the passage of the Twenty-fourth Amendment in 1964, and in state-level elections by the 1966 Supreme Court decision in <em>Harper v. Virginia Board of Elections</em>. <br /><br />The booklet is divided into “WHITE” voters, listed in the first 274 pages, and “COLORED” voters, listed on pages 275 to 304.</p>
Creator
An entity primarily responsible for making the resource
Unknown, but presumably “H. L. Hulce, Treasurer of the City of Richmond, Virginia,” who swore “that the foregoing is a true list,” as described on page 305.

Laws of Virginia with Regard to Women Contrasted with Laws Where Women Vote [Equal Suffrage League handbill]
Description
An account of the resource
This sheet compares Virginia laws pertaining to women with those of states where female suffrage already had been approved. Arranged in two contrasting columns, the sheet presents twelve points and includes an Equal Suffrage League of Virginia enrollment form on the second page. Laws covered include those relating to property rights, inheritance, and parental guardianship.<br /><br />The League was founded in 1909 and included prominent women such as Adèle Clark, Ellen Glasgow, Mary Johnston, Mary Munford, Nora Houston, and Lila Meade Valentine (the league’s first president). After a decade of failure to convince Virginia’s representatives that women should have the vote, the League switched focus to winning Congressional passage of the Nineteenth Amendment. <br />

Voting Status of Negroes in Virginia and Procedures and Requirements for Voting in Virginia
Description
An account of the resource
This 1944 booklet is the Virginia Voters League’s fifth annual report. The League began in 1941 and worked with the NAACP in advocating for increased African American participation at the polls. It was led by <a href="https://www.encyclopediavirginia.org/Jackson_Luther_Porter_1892-1950#start_entry" target="_blank" title="Encyclopedia Virgina entry on Jackson" rel="noreferrer noopener">Luther P. Jackson</a>, an historian and civil rights advocate who formed the Petersburg League of Negro Voters in 1935, which developed into the Virginia Voters League. The booklet details African American voting strength and includes instructions for voter registration. <br /><br />At this time in Virginia, the payment of a poll tax for three consequtive years was a requirement for voting. The booklet notes that in 1943, the number of blacks who met the poll tax requirement was 32,504. That number increased to 41,579 in 1944. Nevertheless, those numbers represent only 9 to 11 per cent of Virginia blacks of voting age, or expressed another way, about 89 per cent of blacks were disqualified from voting in 1944. <br /><br />Excerpts:<br /><br />Title page: "With grant-in-aid of publication by the Virginia State Teachers Association, Virginia branches of the N.A.A.C.P., Virginia lodges of Elks, the Eureka Lodge of Norfolk, Virginia chapters of Greek letter fraternities and sororities, and the Virginia Negro Organization Society." <br /><br />p. 4 <br /><strong>Foreward</strong><br />This fifth annual report of the Virginia Voters League defines the voting status of Negroes in Virginia as of May 7, 1944, the last day for paying the poll tax in order to have voted in the ensuing August primary and the November election. In order to satisfy the demand for a statement of voting requirements in Virginia and other states this handbook devotes a section to this topic also. <br /><br />To all persons who seek to advance the political status of Negroes and to observe racial trends on suffrage in Virginia this publication may serve as a guide. <br /><br />The compiler of this report is again deeply indebted to the 124 county and city court clerks in Virginia for furnishing the data on poll tax paying either by letter or by sending the poll tax list itself. Every county and city is included in this report because every clerk cooperated. <br /><br /><strong>SLOGAN</strong><br /><strong>Pay the poll tax in order to abolish the poll tax. </strong>

Anti-suffrage broadside poking fun at the woman suffrage movement. Filled with puns and inside jokes, the source and precise meaning of this publication are uncertain. <br /><br />Notes: The Square Deal was President Theodore Roosevelt's domestic program. <br /><br />The "hatchet" refers to Carrie Nation, the radical temperance activist. The "wets" (and "drys") were the two sides on the issue of prohibition. <br /><br />Some of the puns refer to foods made from corn: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grits" target="_blank" title="How do you make grits and hominy?" rel="noreferrer noopener">grits and hominy</a>. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postum" target="_blank" title="What is postum?" rel="noreferrer noopener">Postum</a> is a coffee substitute made from roasted wheat and molasses. <br /><br /><em>Paradise Lost</em> is an epic poem written by John Milton. The poem is divided into twelve sections known as "books." A "canto" is another word for the sections into which some long poems are divided. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Woman_Suffrage" target="_blank" title="What is this book?" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>The History of Woman Suffrage </em></a>quotes a line from <em>Paradise Lost</em>, "All is not lost: the unconquerable will is ours."<br /><br /><em><a href="http://dlib.nyu.edu/themasses/" target="_blank" title="Read issues of The Masses online" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Masses</a> </em>was a richly illustrated socialist magazine, published monthly from 1911 until 1917. <br /><br />Excerpts: <br />SUFFRAJESTS <br />If our husbands' socks are full of holes, <br />Our holier duty is at the polls....<br /><br />We didn't need the "hatchet"--we've got the "Club." Hurrah! <br /><br />Put your bets on the suffragettes. If you'll back them up they'll uphold the "wets." That's a stand off. <br /><br />We don't believe in "force"--it isn't what its "cracked up" to be. "Hominy" is better, and somes "grit" is necessary. You see, we "acknowledge the corn." (This isn't a cereal story.); if it were we'd "postum" up and raise some electioneering dough. Our road isn't all "peaches and cream," but we hope to get our desserts some day.... <br /><br />We are truly yours by a large majority, <br />THE SUFFRAJESTS<br />
