SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTEThis series of Papers of the NAACP consists of the General Department

Files of the NAACP’s Branch Department, arguably one of the association’smost important and influential departments. The Branch Department GeneralDepartment Files contain extensive documentation on the nationwide surge ofcivil rights activity that occurred after the Supreme Court’s 1954 Brown v.Board of Education decision and the 381-day Montgomery, Alabama, busboycott 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 builtthat city’s NAACP branch into one of the association’s largest branches.Current used some of his Detroit experiences to forge the Branch Departmentinto an effective unit that reached all of the over fifteen hundred NAACPbranches across the country.

Current brought several major innovations to the Branch Department. One ofthese was the creation of regional field offices, each one staffed with aregional field secretary and state field secretaries. Current established theregional office network in order to provide a full-time professional staff to linkthe local branches with the NAACP’s national headquarters in New York. Atthe 1961 annual staff conference, Current told his field secretaries what heexpected of them: “Every field secretary should be able to go into acommunity, find out its problems, develop a program of action, and help thebranch to get the job done” (Reel 3, Frame 0342). Current’s staff of regionaland state field secretaries boasted some of the association’s most outstandingleaders, including Medgar Evers, Charles Evers, Robert W. Saunders, L. C.Bates, W. C. Patton, Vernon E. Jordan Jr., and Clarence A. Laws. Severaloutstanding women leaders also headed regional or state field secretaryposts, including Gertrude Gorman, Althea T. L. Simmons, Serena E. Davis,Ruby Hurley, and Tarea Hall Pittman. (Reports and correspondence written byHurley 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 Currentbrought to the Branch Department was extension of the NAACP’scomprehensive reporting system to the regional, state, and local level. Currentrequired his field secretaries to submit detailed monthly reports summarizingtheir activities; the status of NAACP initiatives in school desegregation,

xii

housing, employment, voter registration, legal defense, membership, fund-raising, and desegregation of public facilities; and any other majordevelopments in their areas. The majority of the files in this series of Papers ofthe NAACP, therefore, consist of the correspondence and reports of theregional and state field secretaries. The most outstanding feature of thesereports is their extraordinary detail. For example, reports by Mississippi fieldsecretary Medgar Evers discuss voter registration campaigns throughoutMississippi, NAACP branch meetings he attended, NAACP–led boycotts ofstores in Clarksdale and Jackson, and the tragic case of Clyde Kennard whowas arrested on trumped-up charges because he tried to desegregateMississippi State College. Reports from other field secretaries discuss someof the most well-known civil rights episodes of the 1950s and 1960s. Thereports of Arkansas field secretary L. C. Bates chronicle the Little Rock,Arkansas, school desegregation crisis; reports by Georgia field secretaryVernon 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 episodesand, in so doing, reveal the nationwide explosion of civil rights activity thatoccurred after 1955. For example, the reports of New York–New England areafield secretary Thomas H. Allen describe civil rights demonstrationsthroughout the region and efforts to create employment opportunities forAfrican Americans. The correspondence of Althea T. L. Simmons reveals avibrant movement for civil rights in California. Other less well-known episodesmentioned in these files include economic reprisals against African Americansfor voter registration in Haywood and Fayette Counties, Tennessee;demonstrations in Cairo, Illinois; and the Sanford, North Carolina, freedommovement. These are just a few examples of the type of detail that can befound throughout the files of the field secretaries.

Another of Current’s accomplishments during the period covered by thisedition was his ability to maintain the membership level of the association,despite legal and extralegal attacks on the NAACP, particularly in southernstates. By 1946, the NAACP could boast almost 450,000 members in overfifteen hundred branches, and Current’s department was able to retain muchof this membership throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Maintaining highmembership levels was essential to the success of the NAACP—not only didit validate the association’s program and approach, but it was also largelythrough membership dues that the association financed much of its legalprogram and paid for its staff of field secretaries.

Several files on branch disputes show how Current and his staff tried toquickly resolve these disputes and resume the main business of theassociation. A file on the “Adopt-A-Branch Plan” indicates one of the ways inwhich the Branch Department attempted to respond to attacks on the NAACPin the South. The plan required branches outside the South to raise their

xiii

membership quotas in order to offset the loss of memberships resulting fromthe ban on NAACP operations in Alabama, Louisiana, and Texas. Detailedmembership statistics and other correspondence pertaining to membershipscan be found beginning at Frame 0104 of Reel 23 and continuing to Frame0680 of Reel 28.

This edition of Branch Department Files also shows Gloster Current to havebeen a tireless leader who traveled across the country to speak about NAACPprograms and who was aware of some of the most pressing issues facing theNAACP and the civil rights movement. Current’s speeches typically includedsummaries of NAACP accomplishments and usually commented on some ofthe most pressing issues facing the civil rights movement and the nation. Forexample, many of his speeches commented on the need for civil rightslegislation, particularly legislation that included fair employment provisions.Current frequently commented on the connection between the civil rightsmovement and international affairs. In a speech to the Sullivan County,Kentucky, branch, in August 1958, Current said: “A nation which permitsmistreatment of racial minorities within its borders, of its own citizens, cannotconvince the rest of the world, particularly that part of the world which isstirring for freedom and expression, that its aims are sincere” (Reel 11, Frame0530). Current also recognized the important leadership role held by womenin the NAACP. In an undated speech (Reel 12, Frame 0219), he talked aboutthe pioneering leadership of Mary White Ovington, Cecilia Parker Wooley, andIda B. Wells-Barnett. He also listed the number of women serving aspresidents and executive secretaries of NAACP branches. Current succinctlystated: “Local branches could not function without women.” According to hisstatistics, 10 percent of branch presidents and 55 percent of branchsecretaries were women.

Papers of the NAACP, Part 25: Branch Department Files, is complementedby the Selected Branch Files in Parts 12, 26, and 27 of Papers of the NAACP.Taken together, these four parts provide a substantial amount ofdocumentation on the functioning of the Branch Department, local NAACPbranches, and state conferences. Researchers should also be aware that thebranch files can be used most effectively in conjunction with other parts ofUPA’s Papers of the NAACP. Especially relevant in this regard is Part 23:Legal Department Case Files, 1956–1965. The Legal Department Case Filesdocument many of the local cases in great detail. Other parts of UPA’s Papersof the NAACP that provide additional information on the period from 1956 to1965 are the following:

• Part 1: Meetings of the Board of Directors, Records of AnnualConferences, Major Speeches, and Special Reports, Supplements for 1956–1960 and 1961–1965
