Records, 1924-1945

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/7494922

Very few records of the early BNM work with African-Americans have survived. RG 301.10 contains scattered records of the Division of Work for Colored People from 1930-1938, although all of the series contain one or two older items and one or two more recent items. The bulk of the collection consists of files on schools for African-American children operated by the Unit in the Southeast. These files include correspondence, reports and newsletters. Other records in the collection include reports, articles, lesson materials, and photographs.
