The collection contains correspondence, newspaper articles, program bulletins, meeting notes, and other materials of the NCAFC. Correspondence, much of it signed by Sarah M. Bell-Lucas, is chiefly outgoing and includes invitations to advertise NCAFC fundraising banquets and letters related to the University of North Carolina system's struggle during the 1970s and 1980s with the United States Department of Housing, Education, and Welfare (HEW) over compliance with federal desegregation law in institutions of higher education. Correspondents include but are not limited to the Coalition of Black Alumni Groups and Leaders in Education; Peter E. Holmes, director of the Office for Civil Rights at HEW); state government officials; and presidents of alumni associations at historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). Other collection materials relate to the consent decree, HBCU education, North Carolina state politics, NCAFC's position on locating a veterinary school at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University or North Carolina State University, and African American leadership in North Carolina HBCUs.
