http://id.lib.harvard.edu/ead/med00077/catalog

The Louis Tompkins Wright Papers, 1879, 1898, 1909-1997, chronicle Wright's student years at Clark University and Harvard Medical School; internship and later career at the Harlem Hospital; political involvement in the NAACP and other groups and anti-segregationist beliefs; activities in various professional societies; and his medical practice in New York City. The bulk of the collection consists of clippings, mostly from black New York newspapers, about blacks in medicine, blacks as professionals, and health care for blacks. Also includes personal and professional correspondence, including a limited amount of correspondence of Wright's wife, Corinne Cooke Wright; reprints of writings; and pamphlets, some containing brief histories of black medical societies, concerning political issues. The collection also contains several photographs of Wright, his family, and his attendance at professional events and civic activities.
