Scholarship, Education and Defense Fund for Racial Equality. Records, 1944-1976.

Title: Records, 1944-1976.

Records of a fund-raising and legal defense arm of the Congress of Racial Equality, also involved in providing scholarships to minority students, organizing black communities, and training black leaders. Through the years, SEDFRE evolved from a predominantly fund-raising organization to an activist group dedicated to social change through grass-roots organizing and leadership development. Most of the records in the collection date from the period of SEDFRE's greatest activity during the mid-1960s. Administrative Files include correspondence, organizational and financial records, fund-raising material, scholarship applications and inquiries, and records of several SEDFRE projects created and collected by executive director Marvin Rich, with a few items from his successor, Ronnie Moore. Almost every aspect of SEDFRE's programs is illustrated to some degree in the Administrative Files. Three projects sponsored by SEDFRE are significantly illustrated within the Administrative Files, including the Meridian, Mississippi, community center planned by SEDFRE as a memorial to slain civil rights workers James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner; Citizenship Education Projects and Workshops conducted in Louisiana, Northern Florida, South Carolina, and Georgia, designed to encourage blacks to register to vote; and the Newark (New Jersey) Welfare Rights Project. The Leadership Development Program of SEDFRE is illustrated through the Program's prospectus, papers, records of its Advisory Committee, reports, and general and specific correspondence files of director Ronnie Moore. A major portion of the series includes applications, training designs and plans, evaluations, and correspondence regarding the leadership development workshops sponsored throughout the country by SEDFRE. The Neighborhood Action Institute of Gary, Indiana, is a particularly well-documented example of a city-wide organization responsible for conducting these workshops. Also represented in this series are the Citizenship Education Workshops, and subject files concerning leadership development topics. The records of SEDFRE's Legal Department consist of the private and professional correspondence, and private legal and professional papers of Carl Rachlin; general correspondence and files of correspondence with other civil rights, civil liberties, and legal organizations, most of which was written by Rachlin; administrative records; and extensive case files concerning legal cases litigated by SEDFRE, those in which SEDFRE had an interest but took no active part, which were kept for reference and research purposes, or those which were never developed into active cases. Other papers concern complaints and requests for help to the SEDFRE Legal Department, and New York City housing and rent strike cases and files concerning fair hearings. A departmental reference file is also present. The processed portion of this collection is summarized above and is described in the register. Additional accessions are described below.

Title: Classification 157 (Civil Unrest) Case Files, 1957–1978

This series consists of letters, memorandums, teletypes, newspaper clippings, reports, logs, statements, notes, legal documents, interviews, transcripts, lists, court records, correspondence and other records contained in case files opened by the Phoenix (Arizona) Field Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The records constitute investigative case files on persons, organizations, groups, or events believed by the FBI to have the potential to ignite civil unrest that might possibly require the use of Federal troops, such as planned demonstrations and protest marches. Many of the records encompass surveillance of groups considered "agitator" organizations, such as various civil rights- and socialist-oriented groups that formed in the 1960s, many of which were specifically targeted by FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover for suspected Communist influence. Some material further pertains to investigations of political organizations and groups that formed on college campuses in the 1960s.
