INTRODUCTION

The decade of the 1950s was an era of significant advances in the movement for racial

equality for black Americans. It was the time of desegregation of the United States armed forces,

desegregation of Washington, D.C., Brown vs. the Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas, and the

Little Rock, Arkansas school integration crisis. This guide presents a survey of historical materials

in the Eisenhower Library that relate to the civil rights movement of the late 1940s and the 1950s.

Files documenting African-American experiences during World War II are also included as are

collections containing information on civil rights during the 1960s and 1970s.

The guide explores the extensive research potential for civil rights topics at the Eisenhower

Library. It is not a complete and comprehensive account, but rather a survey of manuscript

collections with high research potential, manuscript collections of lesser importance, oral history

transcripts, and audiovisual materials.

The guide should not be considered definitive, as the search for pertinent materials was

conducted primarily at the folder title level and not for individual documents. There are, no doubt,

additional references to civil rights topics in the papers of the Eisenhower Library, but locating them

will require a visit to the Library and an intensive search by the researcher.

A complete list of holdings is available upon request. Copies of finding aids for individual

collections are also available through interlibrary loan.

Persons who wish to use material held in the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library are required to

submit an application form stating the scope and purpose of their research. Advance application to

the Director facilitates the processing of the request and allows staff archivists time to prepare

materials for the research visit.

MAJOR COLLECTIONS:

Students of the civil rights movement during the Eisenhower Administration can find two

very valuable sources of documentation in Dwight D. Eisenhower's Papers as President, 1953-61

(Ann Whitman File), and his Records as President, White House Central Files, 1953-61. These

two collections contain a variety and a depth of coverage on civil rights topics which can be found in

no other collections at the Library.

Reflecting President Eisenhower's personal thoughts, as well as private meetings and

discussions with staff advisers, the Eisenhower Presidential Papers is the richest historical collection

in the Eisenhower Library.

The DDE Diary Series is an important body of material for students of civil rights. The

series contains diary entries and dictated correspondence which reveal the President's thinking on

civil rights topics in general and his private views on the Little Rock situation in particular. There

are memoranda of telephone conversations between the President and Attorney General Herbert

Brownell, as well as copies of official memoranda of the President's conversations in the White

House.

The Administration Series is an important source of correspondence between Eisenhower

and his attorney general. It also contains several folders which deal exclusively with the Little Rock

school crisis. The Ann Whitman Diary Series contains diary entries, letters, memoranda, notes,

minutes, appointment records and other material. The series was created by President Eisenhower's

personal secretary, Ann Whitman, as a file for her daily diary entries which contain, in many cases,

her observations on the highlights of the President's day. In addition, Whitman filed in the diary

such varied material as copies of the President's own diary entries, memoranda of conversations,

including telephone conversations, and copies of correspondence. The Drafts Series is comprised of

drafts of a fairly representative sample of President Eisenhower's letters, messages and statements

written during his first administration. Civil rights topics appear frequently, especially in some of

the personal correspondence.

The Name Series reveals the President's personal views on civil rights through his

correspondence with various individuals such as the Reverend Billy Graham, James F. Byrnes, and

Swede Hazlett.

The Cabinet Series and the Legislative Meetings Series contain material which reflect

Eisenhower's views on civil rights as expressed during meetings with members of his Cabinet and

with congressional leaders. School construction and the Powell Amendment, voting by racial

minorities, racial tensions in the South, and civil rights legislative programs are a few of the topics

discussed and documented during the Cabinet meetings of the Eisenhower administration. Virtually

all legislative meetings from June 1956 to August 1957 deal with some aspect of the civil rights

issues, especially legislative programs.

The public side of President Eisenhower's civil rights policies can be seen in the Campaign

Series, the Press Conference Series, and the Speech Series. The Campaign Series consists of

proposed statements by then presidential candidate Eisenhower on civil rights. The Press

Conference Series records not only the President's public statements, but also candid remarks on

civil rights made at pre-press conference briefings. The Speech Series contains drafts aid speeches

delivered by the President. This includes Eisenhower's famous September 24, 1957, address to the

nation on the Little Rock situation. The documentation shows that this particular talk underwent

considerable editing prior to delivery.

Eisenhower's Records as President (the White House Central Files) comprise the largest

single collection in the Library, totaling approximately 6,000,000 pages. As a result it is not

surprising that this collection should contain a very substantial quantity of material dealing with civil

rights during the Eisenhower administration. The White House Central Files are organized by an

alphabetical and numerical coding system which permits the civil rights scholar to go rapidly to

those folders which contain large concentrations of materials on his topic. There are five basic series

in the White House Central Files which contain civil rights material.

The Official File contains by far the highest quality and the largest quantity of materials on

civil rights in the White House Central Files. This file contains a substantial quantity of high level

materials reflecting the administration's position on civil rights issues. Some of the subjects

documented include the President's 1953 declaration that he would use his presidential powers to end

segregation in Washington, D.C., the Montgomery bus boycott, integration at the university level in

the South, the lynching of Negroes in the South, and the establishment of the Civil Rights

Commission. One topic which is especially well documented is the Little Rock school crisis and

Arkansas Governor Faubus' use of the National Guard troops.

The General File, which consists largely of public opinion correspondence, contains material

on the Bi-Partisan Committee on Civil Rights, the Civil Rights Division of the Department of

Justice, and race riots. This correspondence covers a wide range of public opinion in the Eisenhower

years.

On the whole, the Confidential File contains the highest level of material in the White

House Central Files, but civil rights materials are scattered. There is a small amount of

correspondence dealing with discrimination in housing and desegregation of the National Guard.

The President's Personal File consists mainly of social correspondence and human interest

letters. However, there are several folders such as the United Negro College Fund, Little Rock and

Racial Affairs which should be consulted as should files for numerous organizations listed in the

PPF 47 section of the President’s Personal File.

The final central files series which contains documentation on civil rights is the Alphabetical

File. This series, which is largely unprocessed, consists of routine letters from the general public,

referral sheets indicating that certain letters were forwarded to government departments for reply,

and cross reference sheets. Those folders which have been reviewed and are available for research

include the names of such important figures as Martin Luther King, Jr., Elbert P. Tuttle, Richard B.

Russell, and J. Strom Thurmond. The folder on the Autherine Lucy case is particularly significant

because it contains most of the materials available on this case in the Library. A list of reviewed

folders, subject to periodic updating, is available at the Library. Files for specific individuals or

topics can be reviewed by the Library staff upon request.

Although the Bulk Mail segment of the White House Central Files is not clearly a series in

its own right, it might be important for some topics. Bulk Mail consists entirely of public opinion

correspondence on such general topics as Little Rock, Governor Faubus, segregation and integration.

Approximately 68,000 pages could be useful to a student compiling a statistical or demographic

study on civil rights.

Students of civil rights should by no means confine their research on the Eisenhower

Administration to Dwight D. Eisenhower's Papers and Records as President, for a variety of other

sources are available at the Library. Of substantial importance are the records of various White

House offices and presidential committees.

The Records of the Office of the Staff Secretary offer the scholar an inside look at the

Little Rock Central High School crisis. Of greatest importance are two volumes of Little Rock

situation reports dating from October 1957 to February 1958. These reports, which were created by

General Edwin A. Walker's staff, give detailed daily accounts of the duties performed by the troops

of the 101st Airborne Division and incidents that occurred at the school.

The Records of the Special Assistant for Personnel Management contain a substantial

quantity of material on the establishment of the Commission on Civil Rights in 1959, school

desegregation, discrimination in housing, and a 1959 study on employment of Negroes in America.

The Records of the Staff Research Group document the progress of school integration in the South

as well as the population shifts of Negroes from rural agricultural areas to large industrial cities.

Of lesser importance are the Records of the President's Advisory Committee on

Government Organization, which includes a limited quantity of material on civil rights issues and

the impact of civil rights upon school construction.

The student of civil rights should also examine the Library's collections of personal papers

and records. The Papers of William P. Rogers span his years as Deputy Attorney General

(1953-57) and as Attorney General (1957-61) and contain extensive documentation on the Little

Rock school crisis, school integration in Alabama, and federal aid to states with segregated school

systems. Of particular note is the correspondence with Little Rock city and school officials and a

Handbook for U.S. Marshals in dealing with anti-civil rights demonstrators.

The Records of E. Frederic Morrow offer a unique perspective on civil rights in the

Eisenhower White House. Morrow, who was Administrative Officer of the Special Projects Group

in the White House from 1955 to 1961, was also the only black member of the White House staff.

Reflecting his unique status, his materials include correspondence with leaders of such influential

organizations as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Subjects covered

include the Civil Rights Bill of 1957, the Commission on Civil Rights, sit-in controversies and the

Little Rock crisis. Researchers should also consult the Papers of E. Frederic Morrow which

contain material on Morrow's book, Black Man in the White House.

The papers of Eisenhower's press secretary, James Hagerty, cover a variety of topics on

civil rights from school integration and construction programs to the Negro press. Included are draft

press releases and speeches for the entire Little Rock crisis. Civil rights was also a political issue for

the Eisenhower administration, and this particular concern is especially well represented in the

Records of Bryce N. Harlow, Deputy Assistant to the President for Congressional Affairs

(1958-61). Topics discussed include the Civil Rights Bill of 1957 and the political impact of the

Negro vote. The Records of Wilton Persons, Assistant to the President (1958-61), deal with the

Civil Rights Program of 1959 and the law enforcement difficulties inherent in civil rights

procedures.

An overview of civil rights materials would not be complete without mentioning a few of the

collections which contain small but important amounts of materials. These collections include the

Papers of Philip Areeda, Special Counsel to the President (1958-61); the Papers of John Foster

Dulles, Secretary of State (1953-59); the Papers of Frederic E. Fox, Special Assistant to the

President (1957-61); the Records of David Kendall, Special Counsel to the President (1958-61); the

Records of I. Jack Martin, Administrative Assistant to the President (1953-58); the Papers of

Robert E. Merriam, Deputy Assistant to the President (1958-61); the Papers of James P. Mitchell,

Secretary of Labor (1953-61); and the Papers of Fred A. Seaton, Secretary of the Interior

(1956-61). Some of the topics documented include the Powell Amendment to school construction

legislation, discussions of congressional leaders on civil rights, proposed civil rights programs to

assist local police in enforcing federal civil rights laws, equal opportunity in housing, the NAACP

convention of 1956, and urban renewal.

Additional collections which contain small, important amounts of civil rights material are the

Records of the Cabinet Secretariat, 1953-60; the Records of the Special Assistant far Executive

Appointments, 1952-61; the Records Officer reports to the President on pending legislation,

1953-61; the Records of the White House Telegraph Office, 1953-61 and the FBI Series of the

Records of the Special Assistant for National Security Affairs, 1953-61.

For printed sources on the civil rights movement, researchers should consult the news

clippings and publications of the Republican National Committee, 1932-65. Mostly clippings and

some printed material, this collection contains information on such topics as civil rights, integration,

segregation, Negroes, and the Civil Rights Commission.

The Eisenhower Library also has the Papers of Arthur Flemming, Secretary of Health,

Education and Welfare (1958-61). Black civil rights material is scattered throughout Flemming's

papers reflecting his interest in the topic throughout his public service career which spanned six

decades. The highest concentration of material is Flemming's service on the U.S. Commission on

Civil Rights. The material spans the years 1973-1975, and includes approximately 3,200 pages on

Commission studies and reports, congressional testimony, and minutes and briefing materials related

to meetings of the Commission. Flemming’s file reflecting his involvement with the National

Council of the Churches of Christ (NCCC) contains numerous references to racism, poverty, urban

affairs, equal opportunity and other topics of interest to scholars studying civil rights during the

1960s.

While the bulk of the civil rights materials in the Library pertain to Eisenhower's presidential

years, there is also documentation from the 1940s. Dwight D. Eisenhower's Pre-Presidential

Papers, 1916-52, and the Papers of Courtney Hicks Hodges contain small amounts of material on

discrimination in the armed forces during World War II. The U.S. Army Unit Records, a duplicate

set of records (originals in the National Archives) contains records of numerous African-American

Units such as the 92nd

and 93rd

Infantry Divisions, the 761st Tank Battalion and many others. The

Papers of Henry Aurand include correspondence concerning African-American troops in World

War II and during the post war period while the Papers of J. Lawton Collins contain pertinent

documentation on race relations during World War II and during the Korean War. The major

collection on civil rights in the 1940s is entitled "Documents re Gillem Board and Negroes in the

Armed Forces, 1945-51." This collection consists of copies of the official War Department Board

Report on Negro Manpower, transcripts of testimony by General Alvan C. Gillem, Jr. and John H.

McCloy before the President's Committee on Equality of Treatment and Opportunity in the Armed

Forces, March 17, 1949, and pamphlets and news releases on blacks in the armed forces. It is an

excellent source for the student researching the official Army position on the utilization of Negroes

in the armed services.

Although Eisenhower’s Post-presidential Papers are only partially processed, there are

numerous civil rights references in those segments available for research. The civil rights scholar

should consult the Appointment Books Series, Augusta-Walter Reed Series, Special Name

Series, Convenience File, the Secretary’s File and the Principal File Series for each year from

1961 through 1969 for civil rights information. Processing is complete for the Principal File Series

through 1966 with those series for 1967 to 1969 to be reviewed as staff time permits. Please consult

the Library staff for further information on the current status of various series within General

Eisenhower’s Post-Presidential Papers.

Other collections which should also be consulted include the Bertha Adkins Papers,

1907-83; American Assembly Reports, 1960-76; Jack Z. Anderson Papers, 1952-68; Leonard

V. Finder Papers, 1930-69; Gordon Gray Papers, 1946-76; Jarold E. Kieffer Papers, 1953-71

(microfilm); Henry R. McPhee Records, 1953-61; Gerald D. Morgan Records, 1953-61; Merlo

J. Pusey Manuscript and material re Eisenhower the President, 1952-60; and the Records of

the Chairman of the Republican National Committee (Leonard Hall), 1953-57.

In addition to its manuscript holdings, the Eisenhower Library possesses over 500 oral history

transcripts. While the transcripts range in subject matter from Dwight D. Eisenhower's boyhood to

every major topic of the Eisenhower Administration, over twenty-five oral history transcripts deal

with Little Rock. The bulk of these oral histories were furnished to the Library by agreement with

Columbia University and most require permission from the donor before citing or quoting. Many of

the persons interviewed were either school officials, state or federal officials, or members of local

citizen groups. Taken as a whole, these oral histories present a unique and intimate record of the

Little Rock school integration crisis. In addition to the Little Rock oral history transcripts, there are

numerous other transcripts in the Library holdings which discuss civil rights. For a complete listing

of these transcripts, please refer to the appendix to this guide.

The Eisenhower Library's audiovisual collection, consisting of still photographs, motion

picture film, and audio tapes and discs, also is important for studies of civil rights. There are

photographs of President Eisenhower meeting with various civil rights leaders, signing the Civil

Rights Act of 1957, swearing in the Civil Rights Commission, and delivering his address to the

nation on the Little Rock situation. The Library has most of Eisenhower's major addresses on civil

rights on film and/or sound recordings. Over 12,000 feet of motion picture film deals with civil

rights in general.

Hopefully, this description demonstrates that any scholar of the postwar civil rights

movement should investigate the holdings of the Eisenhower Library, because the Library's

manuscript collections, oral history transcripts, and audiovisual materials include resources that are

vital to understanding the development of one of the most important social movements in our

nation's history.
