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 then President of the CIC Howard W. Odum, the name <em>The Southern Frontier</em> 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. 2, No. 1 contains contributions by:<br /><a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/browse?tags=Jessie+Daniel+Ames" target="_blank" title="materials related to Jessie Daniel Ames" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jessie Daniel Ames</a><br /><br />Selected articles are:<br /><br />"Negroes Make Progress--Many 'Firsts' in 1940"<br /><br />“Hot Spots Develop In Three States” – An article about high racial tensions in Memphis, TN; Dallas, TX; and Georgetown, SC, and how the general public, city governments, and police departments are responding.<br /><br />“What is a Lynching?” – An article describing a December 14, 1940 conference held at Tuskegee Institute in which a definition of lynching was accepted as needing “legal evidence that a person has been killed and that he met his death illegally at the hands of a group acting under the pretext of service to justice, race or tradition.” <br /><br />"Lynching Map of the United States for the Past Decade" <br /><br />"Why We Lynched--1940" notes the reasons for various lynchings in the South.<br /><br />An article on page 4 notes the unequal salaries of black and white teachers and school administrators in Virginia. "In the City of Richmond, the salaries of Negro principals of Negro high schools and elementary schools are a little more than one-half of the salaries paid to white high school principals--while white principals of Negro schools are paid approximately one-third more than Negro principals."<br /><br />"Negroes Refused Correspondence Courses" describes how the Texas Attorney General has rulled against black citizens who wished to take correspondence classes at whites-only schools.

Description
An account of the resource
Orie Latham Hatcher, Ph.D. was head of the Bureau of Vocations in Virginia, a group founded in 1915. <br /><br />Dr. Hatcher and the work of the Bureau of Vocations was described in <a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.c2572263&view=2up&seq=150" target="_blank" title="read "The Virginia Teacher" through HathiTrust.org" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>The Virginia Teacher </em>(vol. 2, no. 5, p. 128)</a>:<br /><br />"She is the head of a unique institution, the Bureau of Vocation of Virginia, which was founded six years ago in Richmond, under her inspiration. This institution exerts a strong educational influence. It inspires women first, to the best general education possible, then to adequate special training in some one field of work wisely chosen."<br /><br /><em>Occupations for Women</em> contains a preliminary essay written by Hatcher entitled "Women Who Work," in which Hatcher presents the various points of view related to women working outside the home at different stages of life. Towards the end of the essay, Hatcher describes "Signs of Progress" and "Handicaps to Progress."<br /><br /> Excerpts from that essay, and the introduction to the section of the book dealing with Social Work, are presented here.

Description
An account of the resource
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 />

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>

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 />

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>

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.

Anti-Suffrage Arguments. DANGER! [anti-suffrage broadside]
Description
An account of the resource
A single-sided handbill published by the Virginia Association Opposed to Woman's Suffrage. The handbill argues that woman suffrage will lead to socialism and the destruction of the Christian family and the holding of private property. <br /><br />See also "<a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/show/68" target="_blank" title="anti-suffrage handbill, 1915" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Red Behind the Yellow</a>." <br /><br />Text: <br /><br />Anti-Suffrage Arguments<br />DANGER ! <br />WOMAN's SUFFRAGE THE VANGUARD OF SOCIALISM<br /><br />Proof. --See here-- <br />1. 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. The Socialist red flag had this inscription: "Every Socialist is a Woman Suffragist."<br />Does every Virginia WOman Suffragist intend to be a Socialist?<br /><br />5. We hope not. But "There is a way which seemeth righ unto a man, but the end thereof is death."<br />Danger lies ahead of you. <br /><br />Do you recognize the kindship? <br />Is not this Plain enough for you? <br /><br />Literature can be obtained free of cost at <br />Meyers Book Store, First and Broad Streets<br />Bell Book and Stationery Co, 914 E.

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.

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?"

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 />

Description
An account of the resource
This ephemera pertains to the Richmond Exchange for Woman’s Work, founded in 1883, part of the Woman’s Exchange movement started in Philadelphia in 1832. <br /><br />Exchanges were popular places for women in hardship to sell goods on consignment without working publicly, a social taboo at the time. Some Exchanges still operate, and while the Richmond Exchange closed in 1955, it launched several female-owned businesses including Sally Bell’s Kitchen, still in business. Its founders—Elizabeth Lee Milton and Sarah Cabell Jones—met through the Richmond Woman’s Exchange. <br /><br />A handwritten note at the document's end records "From March 1st 1883 <br />to March 1st 1884 <br />$2430.80 was paid <br />to consigners -" <br /><br />Printed text excerpts: <br /><br />The Association has been organized to aid ladies whose pecuniary circumstances require them to make their own handiwork a means of their support, and also to afford an opportunity by which work may be sold for charitable purposes. <br /><br />The rooms of the Exchange are located in a convenient part of the city, and there useful and domestic, fancy and artistic articles are exhibited and sold. Orders for work of all descriptions may be given, and purchasers of tasteful and useful articles may relieve the wants of others while gratifying their own taste.<br />

Report by Mrs. W. T. Richardson, recording secretary for the Exchange for Woman's Work. This excerpt (pp. 9 - 14) is taken from the Fourth Annual Report of the Exchange, 1887. <br /><br />Text (excerpt)<br /><br />Annual Report. <br /><br />The Richmond Exchange for Woman’s Work has now completed its fourth year. <br /><br />During the past twelve months, 5,279 articles have been place on sale, representing the handiwork of 400 women, 3,790 of these consignments were sold, realizing the sum of $3,375, which amount, less the commission of ten per cent, was paid to the consignors. <br /><br />Every article deposited for sale, however simple, must be the best of its kind. To reach and adhere to this standard is the persistent aim of the Board of Managers. They are gratified to observe a steady advance in the character and variety of the work offered. The Exchange is thus proving a school<br />p.10 for the education of workers—developing the artistic instinct, correcting defects of design and execution, etc., --while it fosters a spirit of industry, energy and independence, and affords to all, even the aged and the invalid, an opportunity to turn to pecuniary advantage whatever talent they possess, however homely it may be….<br /><br />We enter upon our fifth year with courage and hope—in any event, resting upon the promise that our work shall be accepted according to what we have, and not according to what we have not. <br /><br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Mrs. W. T. Richardson, Recording Secretary.

Transcription: <br /><br />
<p>Woman’s Exchange January 8, 1932</p>
<p>The Richmond Exchange for Woman’s Work is the first woman’s shop established in Richmond which has been in continuous operation for almost fifty years. It was established in 1883 to assist ladies who, in 1883, felt their privacy would be violated and their pride tarnished if the public knew they were forced to work for money. Now we know that what a woman can do is her greatest ornament and that she always consults her dignity by doing it.</p>
<p>Now we have meetings where Consignors and Board Members discuss every phase of our mutual business.</p>
<p>There are among the consignors some of your best friends and mine.</p>
<p>They are from the best levels of our citizenship – much respected and self respecting women.</p>
<p>Without exception they are women who cannot go out into active business. Most of them have children or invalids at home who cannot do without them, or perhaps their husbands have had bad luck and cannot make ends meet. They show a notable gallantry by throwing their strength into helping their family to be self supporting upstanding citizens.</p>
<p>The Exchange is not a charity, - it is a philanthropy.</p>
<p>We simply give women a chance to help themselves.</p>
<p>As a shop we are obliged to meet tremendous and increasing competition.</p>
<p>We try to meet it by defeating it.</p>
<p>We try to give honest value, courteous and efficient service and the very best quality in town.</p>
<p>In our foods we tolerate no substitute for the best materials.</p>
<ol>
<li>2</li>
</ol>
<p>We have lately put on a second delivery and we send to Westhampton and to Ginter Park.</p>
<p>We are constantly trying to introduce novelties in all our departments.</p>
<p>We have many services which the public does not always realize.</p>
<p>We make aspics and desert to order.</p>
<p>We mend fine bead bags and wash and darn delicate laces and old lace curtains.</p>
<p>We restore antique, painted trays.</p>
<p>We print stationery, --just like you get from Peru, Indiana, at the same price, - and more promptly.</p>
<p>We take for sale some young woman’s treasured bit of glory, that must be sacrificed because her husband has lost his job, or some frail old lady’s paisley shawl or piece of family silver.</p>
<p>The Superintendent gives these facts about some of our present consignors</p>
<p>A-says that through her sales she has been able to keep her two boys at school.</p>
<p>B-says that her sales of cake and fancy articles enabled her to have her daughter taught the violin which she is now teaching to others.</p>
<p>C-says her sales have made it possible for her to take care of an invalid mother and stay at home with her.</p>
<p>D-says her sales have given her the means to help to keep her sister at the Blue Ridge Sanitarium.</p>
<p>E-could not hold her home together without the Exchange.</p>
<p>We have over two hundred consignors.</p>
<p>It is not an easy job that we do.</p>
<p>We have only a thirty thousand dollar endowment invested in mortgage bonds.</p>
<p>p.3</p>
<p>The consignors pay us twenty per cent commission, -which is only about two-thirds of what it costs any shop to do business.</p>
<p>We have a small amount from subscriptions and consignors membership tickets.</p>
<p>One of our greatest difficulties has been to keep our promise to pay the consignor on the first pay day after her article is sold.</p>
<p>This is difficult because some of our patrons are careless about paying their bills. They do not realize that we have no working capital and that their delay is a very serious embarrassment for us, and has often sent us to borrow from the bank where we have to pay interest.</p>
<p>We rarely beg, but we do have a constant struggle to make ends meet.</p>
<p>If we ever have to shut up our business it will throw about two hundred women out of employment.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">We do not ask pity,</span> - we <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">only</span> ask that you will try our shop.</p>
<p>Give us the chance we are trying to give our consignors.</p>
<p>Ethel Baskervill</p>

Description
An account of the resource
Front and back covers of a four-page pamphlet created by the Crusade for Voters, Richmond, Va. The circular logo on the front cover shows a family of color with an American flag. Surrounding them is the slogan, "Every member of our family is a voter." Other text on the page says, "'You Gotta Believe It' Your One Vote Does Count. In Unity There is Strength." <br /><br />p.4 excerpts<br /><br />The black vote could be vital in many councilmanic elections, congressional elections, and even in the presidential election.<br /><br />If there is one who has not seen the value of the vote, take him by the hand and get him registered. He could be your next door neighbor, your husband, your wife, a member of your church, club, or organization. Wherever you find him, get him registered! <br /><br />By using your votes wisely -- voting for the right people -- impossible doors will be opened. The power of the people is at the Ballot Box -- Vote. <br /><br />At page bottom: <br />Published by the Crusade for Voters -- a non partisan organization in the interest of increasing the Voter Registration and Education.
