BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

UPT 50 A374S

- 2 -

Born in Philadelphia in 1898, the youngest of three children, Sadie Tanner Mossell Alexander

(B.S., 1918; A.M., 1919; Ph.D., 1921; LL.B., 1927) is a member of two distinguished families.

Her maternal grandfather was Benjamin Tucker Tanner (1835-1923), a Bishop in the African

Methodist Episcopal Church. Bishop Tanner had seven children, the best known of whom is the

painter Henry O. Tanner (1859-1937). Another daughter of Bishop Tanner, Hallie Tanner Johnson,

became a social worker and physician and established the Nurses' School and Hospital at Tuskegee

Institute in Alabama.

Sadie Tanner Mossell's father, Aaron A. Mossell (1863-1951) (LL.B. 1888), was the first African-

American to graduate from Penn's Law School. Her uncle, Nathan Francis Mossell (1856-1946)

(M.D. 1882) was the first African-American to graduate from Penn's Medical School. In 1895 Dr.

Mossell was a co-founder of the Frederick Douglass Hospital, which later merged with Mercy

Hospital to form Mercy-Douglass. Sadie's paternal grandfather, Aaron Mossell, sr., had established

a successful brick-making business in Lockport, New York.

When Sadie was a child, her mother and siblings frequently alternated residence between

Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia. When she reached high school, she went to live in Washington

with her uncle, Lewis Baxter Moore (Ph.D., 1896) who was dean at Howard University and the

husband of her mother's sister, Sadie Elizabeth Tanner. She attended the M Street High School in

Washington and graduated in 1915.

She then attended the School of Education at the University of Pennsylvania, graduating in 1918.

Following her college graduation, she entered the Graduate School at Penn to study economics. In

1921, she became the first black woman in the U.S. to obtain a Ph.D.

Despite her academic achievements, she had difficulty finding employment in Philadelphia and

went to work for the black-owned North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company in Durham,

remaining there for two years. In 1923, shortly after Raymond Pace Alexander was admitted to the

Bar and opened his practice, she returned to Philadelphia to be married.

The following year, in the fall of 1924, she entered the University of Pennsylvania Law School. She

became the first black woman to graduate from that institution and the first black woman admitted

to the Pennsylvania Bar in 1927. Thereupon, she joined her husband's practice, specializing in

estate and family law. She served as Secretary to the National Bar Association.

She was appointed Assistant City Solicitor for the City of Philadelphia and held that position from

1928 to 1930 and from 1934 to 1938. From that time forward, she served on numerous boards,

committees, and commissions and held office in many local and national organizations. Among


UPT 50 A374S

- 3 -

her most notable activities was her service on President Truman's Committee on Human Rights

in 1947 and on the Commission on Human Relations of the City of Philadelphia from 1952 until

1968. She continued her employment in her husband's firm from 1927 until 1959, when he was

named to the Court of Common Pleas in Philadelphia. She subsequently practiced independently

until 1976, when she joined the firm of Atkinson, Myers, and Archie in the capacity of counsel.

Her national stature was recognized when President Jimmy Carter appointed her chair of the White

House Conference on Aging in 1978; she was removed from this committee by Ronald Reagan

in 1981. She retired from practice and from public life generally in 1982. Mrs. Alexander died in

1989 and is survived by two daughters, Mary Elizabeth Alexander Brown (1934 -) and Rae Pace

Alexander Minter (1937 -).

SCOPE AND CONTENT

STMA I: Biographical and Autobiographical. (2 cu. ft. and oversized items.) The first two

subseries include articles, resumes, and interview material which review STMA's life and career,

including her family history, practice in the law, and civic and governmental activities. Another

subseries (approximately 2/3 cu. ft.) documents STMA's international travels (1937- 1980). The

last subseries (approx. 1/2 cu. ft.) consists of clippings and other scrapbook material (1923-83 with

some gaps). In addition, there are a number of oversized scrapbooks (1945-46 and 1963-67).

STMA II: Personal Correspondence. (7 cu. ft.) Family correspondence (with RPA [intermittent

1921-68]; EMA [1937-64]; and Isabel Tanner Temple, her aunt [1946-57]; with and about her two

daughters [1935-1983]; and with assorted other relatives) comprises approx. 2 1/2 cu. ft. of this

series, over half of which relates to Mary Elizabeth and Rae Pace. The remaining 4.5 cu. ft. is made

up primarily of miscellaneous and unsorted correspondence (1923-80; bulk dates 1934-80 with a

clump around 1947- 48). In the 1960s she carried on a correspondence with RPA's close friend, J.

Turner Layton.

STMA III: General Correspondence. (2 2/3 cu. ft.; 1935-82.) Primarily miscellaneous and unsorted

correspondence. As in the last (general) subseries of STMA's personal correspondence, the material

is arranged in preliminary chronological order without subseries divisions. At the end of the series

are several folders of condolences received by the family after RPA's death.

STMA IV: Professional Correspondence. (1 cu. ft.; 1939-83.) Primarily material pertaining to

STMA's professional and civic career. The series also contains papers pertaining to her actions on

behalf of law students and women in the law.

STMA V: Financial Records. (5 1/2 cu. ft.; 1924-82.) Primarily material pertaining to personal

finances as opposed to those of her law practice, which are housed in STMA RPA VII.B. The

records include several ledger books (1937-64); bank records (1924-82; approx. 1 cu. ft.); invoices,

statements and receipts (1937-82 with greater bulk after 1974; 2 cu. ft.); insurance policies

and premium statements and receipts (1919-84); ledger books and papers relating to real estate

(1924-80; 1/2 cu. ft.), and wills, estate, and trust (1940-81). The records appear to cover the span

of STMA's adult life without significant gaps.

STMA VI: Education. (approx. 0.5 cu. ft.; 1917-82.) Material pertaining to M Street High School

and the University of Pennsylvania (general and college, graduate and law school. The bulk of the

papers in the series pertain to STMA's activities as an alumna (contributions, fundraising, activities

in support of women's and black students' organizations on campus, an honorary degree). A number

of items relate to her academic record as a doctoral candidate and law student.

STMA VII: Law Practice and Related Professional Papers. (9 cu. ft.) The bulk of the series is made

up of financial records (4 cu. ft.; 1926-82; bulk begins ca. 1936) and office diaries, appointment

books, message books, and the like (5 cu. ft.; 1936-79). The series contains a number of summary

records (internal memoranda, dockets, ledgers, etc.) that may be useful in gaining an overview of

the history of STMA's practice and her position in her husband's firm.

STMA VIII: Legal Issues and Actions. (10 cu. ft.; 1928-81 with bulk appearing to fall in a normal

distribution plateauing in the 1940s and 1950s.) Nearly half of the series is contained in the

miscellaneous category (a few folders at most per client). Papers relating to the legal business of

Mount Lawn Cemetery account for 2 cu. ft.; four estates account for another 2 cu. ft.; and legal

business of various AME churches accounts for 1 1/3 cu. ft.

STMA IX: Government Service. (6 1/2 cu. ft.; 1946-82.) STMA began her career in government

service in 1946, when she was named by President Truman to his Committee on Human Rights.

Papers relating to her experience on the President's Committee (primarily correspondence and

memoranda) are nearly 1 cu. ft. in bulk (1946-57; bulk dates 1947). She was a member of

Philadelphia's Commission on Human Relations (CHR) from the time of its formation in 1952,

having been instrumental in its inception through the Philadelphia Fellowship Commission. She

served for five years as its Chairman (n.d.) and retired from the Commission in 1968. Her papers

relating to the CHR should be of considerable historical interest (2 1/2 cu. ft.; 1952-72). One of the


UPT 50 A374S

- 5 -

last significant chapters in the public life of STMA was her appointment by President Carter and

service as the chairman of the White House Conference on Aging (approx. 1 1/2 cu. ft.; 1978-81).

She was removed from her position as chair by President Reagan before the conference took place.

STMA X: Legal Organizations. (8 cu. ft.; bulk dates 1945-82.) At different periods, STMA was

extremely active in two legal organizations. In the mid- 1940s, she served as secretary of the

National Bar Association (NBA), the black parallel organization to the American Bar Association,

which excluded blacks until 1952. Her papers relating to the NBA, together with RPA's, may be

among the most historically valuable subgroups in the collection (5 cu. ft.; 1930-79; bulk dates

1944-47). From 1946, she involved herself in the Philadelphia Bar Association (approx. 1 1/2

cu. ft.; 1945-82), serving on many committees, most notably the Committee on International and

Foreign Law. From 1970, she assumed a position of leadership in the Philadelphia Bar Foundation

(approx. 1/2 cu. ft.; 1970-82).

STMA XI: Civic Organizations. (12 1/2 cu. ft.; 1930-82; bulk dates roughly 1940s-1970s.) STMA

was active in an extraordinarily large number of civic organizations. The series contains thirty

individual subseries as well as a miscellaneous subseries comprising 2 cu. ft. in itself. The civic

organizations in which she played significant leadership roles include the National Committee of

the American Civil Liberties Union (2/3 cu. ft.; 1948- 82); the Americans for Democratic Action,

National Board and National Vice President (less than 1 cu. ft.; 1948-59); the National Urban

League (New York), of which she was secretary for twenty-five years (approx. 1 1/2 cu. ft.;

1930-57); and the Philadelphia Fellowship Commission, of which she was secretary (approx. 1 cu.

ft.; 1946-65).

STMA XII: Clubs and Social Groups. (4 cu. ft.; 1921-1981.) This series contains papers

documenting sixty years of STMA's involvement in Delta Sigma Theta sorority (3 1/2 cu. ft.;

1921-1981). She was Delta's first national president and served an extended term in that capacity

(n.d.). A smaller subseries (1/2 cu. ft.; 1938-81) contains papers relating to miscellaneous other

social clubs.

STMA XIII: Writings, Speeches, and Publications. (1 cu. ft.; [1920s]-80.) The inventory for this

series includes a large number of individual writings and speeches. The majority of items included

here are speeches. Many are untitled and/or undated. The series is arranged in chronological order

without subseries divisions.

STMA XIV: Certificates, Honors, and Awards. (3 2/3 cu. ft. and additional oversized objects;

1911-83.) Diplomas, law credentials, and honorary decrees (1911-1983); citations, awards and

testimonials with related papers (approx. 3/4 cu. ft.; 1940-1987); trophies and plaques (2 1/2 cu.


UPT 50 A374S

- 6 -

ft.; 1945- 1983). STMA received many honors between 1980 and 1982, as she moved toward

retirement.

STMA XV: Memorabilia and Regalia. (less than 1 cu. ft.; n.d. and 1982.) Personal effects and

academic regalia.

STMA XVI: Audio-Visual Material. (1 cu. ft.; ca. 1880-1982.) The Alexander Papers include a

large number of photographic prints which have been assigned to the STMA record group primarily

on the basis of subject. Many photos were found undated and unlabelled. An effort has been made

to identify and date this material as specifically as possible. The subseries of photographs here is

arranged in preliminary chronological order. There are many good portraits, and occasional scenes

(many of them taken professionally) as well as candid and posed snapshots. The series also contains

several reels of 16 mm film apparently relating to STMA's trip to India under the Auspices of the

US Committee of the International Conference of Social Work in 1952.

STMA XVII: Family and Genealogy. (2 1/2 cu. ft.; 1872-1980; initial bulk date ca. 1931.) The first

subseries contains a number of articles and other writings on Tanner and Mossell family history.

Five subseries are devoted to Tanner forbears and relatives; five to Mossell forebears and relatives;

and three to Alexander relatives. The material includes correspondence as well as various kinds of

records.

STMA XVIII: Books. (2 1/2 cu. ft.; 1817-1977.) Includes a number of devotional works, primarily

of the Doctrines and Disciplines of the AME Church (1817-1948); and a larger number of

miscellaneous works, primarily non-fiction
