Simpson was a graduate of the American Missionary Associations Tougaloo, field agent for Congregational Church extention Boards, first head of Connecticut Inter-Racial Commission state welfare commissioner. 3 scrapbooks contain clippings about the work and interests of Frank T. Simpson as a member of the Connecticut Inter-Racial Commission. The clippings indicate the state of affairs for blacks in Connecticut in the mid-40's when there were only 21 black teachers in the state, 12 salespersons, 6 nurses, and no craftsmen. Several of the clippings highlight firsts in jobs obtained and in educational opportunities. In addition to writing and speaking on social problems of blacks, Mr. Simpson attempted to alleviate problems during his tenure on the Commission, the Housing Authority, and through his work with Fair Employment Practices. He worked with the United Negro College Fund and was honored for his efforts to promote higher education, being active with the Greater Hartford Inter-Racial Scholarship Committee and the National Scholarship Service and Fund for Negro students. Names include Raymond A. Baldwin, Chester A. Bowles, Walter H. Gray, John C. Jackson, Henry C. McDowell, and Morris Silverman.
