Office files of past presidents and chief executive officers William J. Trent, Jr., Frederick D. Patterson, Stephen J. Wright, Harry V. Richardson, Vernon E. Jordan, Jr., Arthur A. Fletcher, and Christopher F. Edley. Records include correspondence, campaign costs, quotas and results, budgets and expenditures, annual campaign distributions, annual reports, statistics, campaign progress reports, studies, press releases, and texts of addresses concerning fund raising appeals. Files reflect influence of major events in American society upon United Negro College Fund, including gifts from military units stationed in Europe and the Pacific, 1940s; America's fear of communism and a questioning of continuing need for black colleges in light of Supreme Court's desegregation decision, 1950s; and the 1960s sit-in movement in the South and attempt of colleges to recruit African students.
