The North Carolina Council on Human Relations (NCCHR) was one of twelve state organizations affiliated with the Southern Regional Council (SRC). An interracial organization, it sought, from 1954 until 1969, to solve racial problems in North Carolina through research and communication. NCCHR records include correspondence, reports, proposals, financial records, newsletters, speeches, and other materials relating to the NCCHR and to its local affiliates. There are reports and correspondence of executive directors Harry S. Jones, Helen Adams Furman, and Will C. Allred Jr. Also included are small numbers of records of the Southern Regional Council and human relations councils in the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. Topics include social and economic conditions of African Americans in North Carolina and the South, civil rights, education, employment, integration of public schools and higher education, labor relations, labor unions, private and public housing, and race relations.
