Biographical History
J. Raymond Jones, also known as the "Harlem Fox," was a Democratic Party district leader from the Carver Democratic Club on 145th Street and one of the most powerful political leaders in New York City. From 1964 to 1968 he was chief of Tammany Hall, a position to which he was elected by his peers in the New York City Democratic Party, and the only African American to hold that position. Among Jones' many protégés in the Carver Club were former Judge Constance Baker Motley, Congressman Charles Rangel and former Mayor David Dinkins. Articles in the collection discuss these relationships.
