                <text>Pages 7-8 (front and back) removed from &lt;em&gt;Federal Council Bulletin&lt;/em&gt;, September-October, 1926. The article, "Church Women Explore Interracial Paths," details an interracial conference held on September 21-22, 1926 at Eagles Mere, Pa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The conference was organized by the Commission on the Church and Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churchs, the Council of Women for Home Missions, and the National Board of the Y.W.C.A. It was attended by delegates from numerous denominations and organizations. Adele Clark of Richmond, Va. attended representing the National League of Women Voters. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The object of the conference, according to the chair Mrs. Richard W. Westbrook (Mary L. Westbrook), was&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"(1) To enlarge the scope of interracial thinking and to enlist the women of the churches more actively in plans and programs for improving the relations between the white and colored groups in America; &lt;br /&gt;(2) To discuss methods of better interracial organization through churches and their auxiliaries so that women may more effectively act on local interracial conditions; &lt;br /&gt;(3) To exchange concrete experiences from groups of women that have already attempted to carry out interracial programs;&lt;br /&gt;(4) To study the past experience of organizations that have done such work, to learn both from the sucesses and failures of such efforts how best to proceed in the future;&lt;br /&gt;(5) To understand better the present trend of feeling and opinion in race relations that the Churches may more effectively work for interracial goodwill and cooperation."&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/browse?tags=Interracial+Conference+of+Church+Women" target="_blank" title="Documents related to the Interracial Conference of Church Women" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;See all documents&lt;/a&gt; related to the conference.</text>

                <text>Letter from Mary L. Westbrook (Mrs. Richard W. Westbrook), Chairman, Church Women's Committee on Race Relations, Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, Inc. (Federal Council of Churches), sent to Adele Goodman Clark in her capacity as a representative of the National League of Women Voters at the 1926 Interracial Conference of Church Women. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The letter describes a second conference planned for September 1928, and requests Clark begin planning to send delegates from the NLWV. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excerpts:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The past year and a half has disclosed problems which cause us to believe that there is need for the leaders of church women's organizations throughout the Nation to meet in conference again to discuss these problems, and to devise further plans and means of carrying forward the effective work begun so auspiciously following the epoch-making Interracial Conference of Church Women at Eagles Mere, Pa., Spetember 21-22, 1926, held by this Commission in cooperatin with the Council of Women for Home Missions and the National Board of the YWCA. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This conference requested the Commission to form a Church Women's Committee on Race Relations, and this Committee, including representatives of practically every religious organization affiliated with the Federal Council of Churches, has been actively promoting parts of the program adopted at the Eagles Mere Conference. Correspondence with church women's groups in all parts of the Country has disclosed an unusual activity in race relations among them with a growing consciousness about the need of religion applied to the race problem. In many sections local committees were already in existence or have been formed; regional conferences in the Philadelphia and Chicago areas have been held with fruitful results."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/browse?tags=Interracial+Conference+of+Church+Women" target="_blank" title="Documents related to the conference" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;See all documents&lt;/a&gt; related to the Interracial Conference of Church Women.</text>

                <text>List of members and the organizations they represented in the Virginia Commission on Interracial Cooperation. Dr. R.E. Blackwell was the Virginia Chairman of this group. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The parent organization, the &lt;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"&gt;Commission on Interracial Cooperation&lt;/a&gt; (CIC), was based in Atlanta, Ga. Founded in 1919 by progressive Southern whites, the CIC sought to improve race relations with an anti-lynching campaign, and by educating the public about issues affecting blacks such as peonage, police brutality, and disparities in educational and health services. The group published a newsletter, &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/browse?collection=10" target="_blank" title="issues of The Southern Frontier" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;The Southern Frontier&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;</text>

                <text>This article reports on the Virginia Church Conference on Race Relations held October 28, 1930 at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Richmond, Va. The theme of the conference was "Facing the Facts with a Christian Program." Dr. Ben Lacy, Jr. President of Union Theological Seminary, presided over the gathering of leaders of white church groups in Virginia, and representative of Virginia schools and colleges. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speakers presented findings of "The Negro in Richmond, Virgina" a study completed by the Negro Welfare Suvey Committee in 1929. Topics such as housing, education, community health and infant mortality were discussed. Other matters covered included the possible re-release of "Birth of a Nation" as a sound film, lynchings, and interracial cooperation. The Hon. John Pollard, Governor of the Commonwealth and Dr. Robert R. Moton , principal of Tuskegee Institute addressed "a great interracial mass meeting attended by a thousand prominent citizens in addition to members of the conference."

                <text>Pamphlet published by the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, written by Robert B. Eleazer, Educational Director. The pamphlet describes commission meetings in Memphis, Tn. and Atlanta, Ga., and the responsibility felt by southern white women (primarily church women), study and then improve the lives of black women and children in their cities. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The need for day nurseries, kindergartens, clinics, playgrounds, better schools, improved housing and sanitation, safer conditions of travel, and especially the "unmeasured condemnation of lynching" are all noted. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p. 2 "The purpose of this organization and its affiliated state and local committees is to bring about better understanding, justice and fair dealing between the white and colored races. The Commission believes that the white race, as the more fortunate group and the one responsible for the Negro's presence in America, is under obligation to be both just and generous toward the latter. It believes further that the welfare and even the racial integrity of the two groups can be effectively preserved in no other way."</text>

                <text>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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the Subscription Form: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Dedicated to the preservation of the neighborhood school concept in the education of our young people." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Board of Directors&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dailypress.com/news/dp-xpm-20000423-2000-04-23-0004230006-story.html" target="_blank" title="&amp;quot;Haskins Still Remains Consistent&amp;quot; Daily Press article" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;William F.

                <text>A pamphlet addressing resistance from white Americans to racial integration. Written by the Educational Director of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The writer, Robert B. Eleazer, refutes the "Curse of Ham" as a justification for slavery or servitude. &lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excerpt:&lt;br /&gt;"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."</text>

                <text>Pamphlet published by the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, an organization which opposed lynching and promoted interracial dialogue and cooperation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other stories describe false accusations by whites, and often white women, against black men. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excerpt from p.1&lt;br /&gt;"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."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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."</text>

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.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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).</text>

                <text>This broadside has a map at top that shows the extent of woman suffrage across the United States. At this time, women could vote in presidential elections in some states; in municipal elections in others; and only with regard to school bond and tax matters in others.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lower half of the broadside is titled "VIRGINIA WOMEN WANT THE VOTE." The text was created by the Equal Suffrage League of Virginia. It argues that two out of three women across the state, in both rural and urban location, are suffragists. "Virginia women who are asking for enfranchisement are BY NO MEANS A SMALL MINORITY." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The child and the home are the greatest assets of the nation. &lt;br /&gt;The Farmer's Wife is his working partner. She helps him to pay taxes on roads and schools. She should have the right on where and how these roads and schools are built; to elect the school trustees who determine what her children shall be taught." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Virginia wives and mothers should vote upon public health laws and moral laws which vitally affect the welfare of the family." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The broadside then addresses the argument that a federal amendment permitting women to vote will increase the voting power of African Americans in the south. With the Civil War and Reconstruction only fifty-four years in the past, the southern states were against any federal law reducing their right to control who could vote. The ESL makes the argument that the states' power to levy poll taxes, have residency requirements, and require that voters be able to read and write will be sufficient. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Whte Supremacy. There is now no negro domination under male suffrage in the counties in Virginia where white people are in the minority, and there will be no negro domination with men and women voting." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The broadside also argues that women are conservative voters, so woman suffrage will not increase the socialist vote.</text>

Griffith's 1915 film, &lt;a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/browse?tags=Birth+of+a+Nation" target="_blank" title="materials related to the film's re-release as a &amp;quot;talkie&amp;quot;" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Birth of a Nation&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The face of Stone Mountain became the site of the Confederate Memorial Carving, the largest bas-relief sculpture in the world. This bas-relief depicts the  three Confederate leaders of the Civil War: President Jefferson Davis and Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson. The sculptor was Gutzon Borglum, whose next major project was Mount Rushmore. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In his &lt;a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/show/250" target="_blank" title="SCLC Newsletter" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;"I Have A Dream" speech&lt;/a&gt; (28 August 1963), &lt;a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/browse?tags=Martin+Luther+King+Jr." target="_blank" title="Items related to MLK, Jr." rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;Martin Luther King, Jr.&lt;/a&gt; invoked the imagery of "My Country 'Tis of Thee" saying, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.&lt;br /&gt;Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.&lt;br /&gt;Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi.&lt;br /&gt;From every mountainside, let freedom ring. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</text>

                <text>Brochure distributed by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) which describes and promotes the "Crusade for the Ballot. To Double the Negro Vote in the South." The campaign aimed to double the number of registered Black voters in the South and to educate and stimulate these citizens to exercise the vote.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 3 of the brochure states that this goal will be achieved by educating and stimulating Black citizens to vote. Organizing communities, bipartisanship, and non-violence.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SCLC leadership at this time included Martin Luther King, Jr. President, Wyatt Tee Walker, Executive Director, and Atty. I. M. Augustine, General Counsel.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pamphlet is from the &lt;a href="https://umedia.lib.umn.edu/item/p16022coll453:11061" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="additional materials "&gt;National Conference of Christians and Jews, Religious Freedom and Public Affairs Project&lt;/a&gt;, and is part of a resource file on discrimination in voting. It discusses voter suppression tactics and lists ways to counter them and increase voter registration and participation.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excerpts:&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p. 2&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;THE FACTS&lt;br /&gt;(1) Over 5 million Negros of voting age live in the South.&lt;br /&gt;(2) Only 25% of adult Negroes vote compared with 60% white adults.&lt;br /&gt;(3) Purges of voter lists, "slowdowns" by registrars, opening the registration office only one of two days a month and at hours that are not helpful for working people; and&lt;br /&gt;(4) Open intimidation by some plantation bosses and many local officials, all play a part in discouraging the Negro Citizen from becoming a registered voter.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a result, "Government by consent of the governed," upon which our nation was founded in 1776, is a goal still to be made a reality in most of the South today.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of the present crop of Southern Senators and Congressmen will oppose and fillibuster all legislation designed to protect the voting rights of citizens of this region.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YOU CAN CHANGE THIS SITUATION&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Despite these obstacles Negro citizens are struggling daily to double the number of voters and to obtain representation in government.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Even the most die-hard segregationist in public office can be made to respect voting power. Furthermore, we know there are many liberal white citizens in the South who count on the Negro votes to increase enough for liberal voice to be heard in the government.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;The whole nation will benefit from an enlarged Negro vote in the South. This area of our country CAN elect men and women of good will and a sense of justice to Congress and to local state legislatures.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Let all who believe in Freedom and Human Dignity join in this great Crusade for The Ballot Now!!&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p. 3 In Unity There Is Strength. No narrow partisan interest must be allowed to divide us. In reaching a cross section of the Negro community, the Crusade will move across party lines. It is for the good of the local community that all civic, church, fraternal and other organizations&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p. 4 &lt;br /&gt;"The goal of the Freedom Movement in the South can be summed up in 3 words: All, Here, and Now &lt;br /&gt;We want all of our rights as citizens (not just some rights); &lt;br /&gt;We want them here, in the Deep South, and &lt;br /&gt;We want them now" &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;-Martin Luther King, Jr. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you have finished reading this, please pass it on to a member of the family, a neighbor or a friend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://umedia.lib.umn.edu/item/p16022coll453:11061" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="University of Minnesota Libraries collections"&gt;Full transcript and other related items&lt;/a&gt; via University of Minnesota Libraries, Social Welfare History Archives.</text>

                <text>Within the first six weeks after the Voting Rights Act was signed into law, staff attorneys from the Commission on Civil Rights visited 32 Southern counties and parishes to study the implementation of the legislation. This document is their report, transmitted to the President, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives in November 1965.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Commission found widespread compliance, but also a need for further action. Their "Findings and Recommendations," along with the section titled, "Problems in Registration" are presented here.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read the report's &lt;a href="https://umedia.lib.umn.edu/item/p16022coll391:4298/p16022coll391:4185?child_index=9&amp;amp;query=&amp;amp;sidebar_page=4" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="read the report's history of the Voting Rights Act of 1965"&gt;Chapter 1: History of the Voting Rights Act of 1965&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excerpts:&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;p.34 Problems in Registration&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some country registrars in Mississippi and Alabama have violated the new law by refusing to register illiterates....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Delay has created a problem in Alabama and South Carolina, principally because these States have a restricted number of registration days.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p. 35 In some counties in North Carolina, registrars conduct all but three days of registration in their own homes or places of business. Social and psychological barriers are likely to deter Negroes from seeking out a registrar in his exclusively white neighborhood....&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Racial violence related to civil rights activities is another factor which has limited applications in some counties with examiners. The killing of seminarian &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Daniels" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="biographical information on Jonathan Daniels"&gt;Jonathan Daniels&lt;/a&gt; in Lowndes Country, Alabama, on August 20 and the acquittal of his killer on September 30 appear to have been the single most important factor in reducing Negro applications in that county. It is symbolic of conditions there that a pick-up truck with a rifle visibly displayed has been parked daily immediately outside the examiner's office since the opening of the office. Registration workers in the country have reported increasing threats against their lives and continued efforts to intimidate resident Negro leaders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This booklet on the Voting Rights Act was part of a resource file on civil rights and voting in the files of the National Federation of Settlements.

                <text>This booklet was distributed by the Virginia Commission on Constitutional Government (VCCG) in opposition to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The Commission began in 1958 and existed until the late 1960s. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Led by David J. Mays, a prominent lawyer and advisor to Virginia’s commission on the response to the Brown v. Board of Education decision, it advocated nationally for states’ rights and conservatism, and eventually distributed over 2 million published pamphlets, brochures and speeches.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excerpts: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FOREWORD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the first eight weeks of 1965, demonstrations of increasing size and intensity in Selma, Ala., and later in Montgomery, attracted nationwide attention to the efforts of Alabama Negroes to secure their right to vote. The demonstrations reached a political climax on the evening of March 15, when the President asked a joint session of the Congress for the immediate adoption of a "Voting Rights Act of 1965." Remarkably, members of the United States Supreme Court, in their judical robes, sat in the front row applauding. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Three days later, on March 18, identical bills were introduced in the House (HR 6400) and in the Senate (S. 1564) to carry out the President's recommendations. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Virginia Commission on Constitutional Government believes fervently in the right to vote....At the same time, the Commission adheres just as fervently to a conviction that the power to fix qualifications for voting, uniformly applied to all persons, is a power plainly reserved to the States under Article I of the Constitution.... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The proposed "Voting Rights Act of 1965," in the Commission's view, transcends the authority vested in Congress. Its key provisions are triggered not by discrimination on account of race or color, but by arbitrarily defined statistical phenomena....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In our view, the President is proposing to deal unconstitutionally with unconstitutional acts, thus piling a large subversion on a small one. He is proposing to go far beyond the limits of discrimination "on account of" race or color, in order to spread upon the statute books a harsh and punitive measure of general application, more drastic than any voting legislation proposed since Reconstruction days. The bill would grievously undermine our federal system; it would open the door to the obliteration of all State powers in the field of State and local elections.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We do not oppose the President's aim. Surely the indefensible conditions that provoked the Alabama demonstrations must be remedied. But we are convinced the job can be done by a carefully drawn bill, strictly confined to denials and abridgments by reason of race or color. Such a bill would have this Commission's support...."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;James J. Kilpatrick, Chairman, Committee on Publications&lt;br /&gt;Richmond, April, 1965.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/browse?tags=Virginia+Commission+on+Constitutional+Government" target="_blank" title="Other VCCG publications" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;Other VCCG publications&lt;/a&gt; in the Image Portal</text>
