Records of the Milwaukee branch of the
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, reflecting particularly the work
of Wilbur and Ardie A. Clark Halyard, prominent black community and business leaders.
Founded in 1915, the Milwaukee branch was inactive between 1930 and 1949, but revived during
the 1950s and 1960s. Much of the branch activity was directed towards fund raising and
annual membership campaigns. Although the collection includes national, regional, state, and
local records of the NAACP, the most extensive records are those documenting the Milwaukee
branch's administrative committees and subject files. English

Biography/History
The Milwaukee Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was
organized with 80 members in 1915, six years after the establishment of the national office
in New York. By the end of 1915, local membership had increased to 265. From 1930 to 1949
the organization was inactive, but was then revived by a group of young people discouraged
by difficulties encountered in gaining job promotions. The membership grew from 31 in 1951
to 1200 in 1952, and to 3257 in 1961. The NAACP is still an active organization, although in
recent years leaders have been discouraged by the lack of response to their annual
membership campaigns.
Branches, such as that in Milwaukee, may include youth councils and college chapters. Youth
council membership is available to those between the ages of 16 and 25, while junior youth
councils accept members ranging in age from 12 to 15. The branches within a state comprise a
state conference, which, in turn, is associated with a regional office. The national office,
located in Baltimore (formerly in New York City), coordinates the activities of its many
components, and receives a pro rata share of all membership fees from the branches. A
Washington Bureau lobbies for and against legislation in Congress. The annual convention is
the highest authority within the NAACP, empowered by the Association's constitution to
formulate binding policies and programs of action.
Within this administrative structure, the local branches operate with a great deal of
autonomy. Committees, both standing and special, perform most of the important work of the
organization. An executive committee, composed of the branch officers, standing committee
chairpersons, presidents of the youth councils and college chapters, and senior branch
advisors of the junior youth council and youth council, exercises general control over each
branch. This committee, which meets at least monthly, decides all matters of branch policy,
subject to endorsement by the membership, and in accordance with national policy. Its
members draft the yearly budget for the branch, create special committees, and review the
recommendations of all committees. Special committees, such as the personnel committee, are
sometimes formed for a brief period to meet the specific needs of a branch.
For many years, Wilbur and Ardie A. (Clark) Halyard, prominent Milwaukee business and
community leaders, directed the work of the Milwaukee branch of the NAACP. Born in South
Carolina, Wilbur Halyard co-founded the Columbia Savings and Loan Association in
1925--Milwaukee's only black-owned bank. In addition to serving as the bank's
secretary-treasurer and managing officer, Halyard became president of the Milwaukee NAACP in
1929. He also acted as Wisconsin State Conference treasurer from 1958 to 1959 and was a
member of that organization's board of directors. He was active in NAACP work until his
death in 1963. After graduating from Atlanta University, Ardie A. Clark married Wilbur
Halyard in 1920. The couple moved to Wisconsin later that same year. She was co-founder and
assistant secretary of the Columbia Savings and Loan Association. In 1951 she was elected
president of the Milwaukee branch--the first woman to serve in that capacity. Mrs. Halyard
was also instrumental in organizing the Wisconsin State Conference of the NAACP. She served
as the Conference's first president as well as treasurer. As an active leader of many
community groups, she has fought tirelessly against racial discrimination.

Scope and Content Note
The records in this collection are organized in two parts. Part 1 is made up of portions
received in the Archives in the 1970s. It dates 1917-1970 and primarily reflects the
interests and work of the Halyards and as such probably presents and incomplete view of
Milwaukee branch activities. Part 2 contains additional records received in 2001 and
arranged in 2002. These records date 1972-1989.
Part 1, 1917-1970
Part 1 of the collection is arranged in seven categories: National Records, Regional
Records, State Records, and Milwaukee branch records filed as Administrative Records,
Correspondence and Related Material, Subject Files, and Visual Materials
The NATIONAL RECORDS consist mainly of material from national conferences, including
programs, notes, resolutions, minutes, and addresses. REGIONAL RECORDS contain conference
material exclusively. The STATE RECORDS include correspondence of Lloyd Barbee and E. Gordon
Young, former presidents of the Wisconsin Conference of Branches. Within this series, the
general records are comprised of correspondence, minutes of the board of directors of the
state conference, and finance committee material.
The most extensive records in the collection are those of the Milwaukee branch. The
ADMINISTRATIVE RECORDS include executive board and board of directors meeting minutes, and
various committee records. A substantial part of the finance committee records regard fund
raising events, such as picnics, concerts, and candy sales. Included in these records is a
letter from Medgar Evers, Mississippi NAACP field secretary, dated 22 May 1958 (box 2,
folder 19), as well as material pertaining to his memorial fund, established in 1963. The
general records of the committee contain budgets, treasurer's reports, correspondence, and
acknowledgments. Membership committee records consist of membership lists, receipts for
dues, minutes of meetings, and correspondence. The political action and discrimination cases
contain material of national scope, such as the 1949-1952 Groveland, Florida assault case
which reached the Supreme Court; the 1951 murder of Harry T. Moore, state coordinator of the
NAACP Florida branches, and his wife; and the 1955 murder of Emmett Till in Mississippi. The
Milwaukee cases mainly concern local job discrimination complaints.
The CORRESPONDENCE and RELATED MATERIAL dates from 1947 to 1970, with the exception of one
folder of items dated 1917 to 1943. Letters dated 1917 and 1929 protest state legislation
prohibiting interracial marriages. Other early material documents Wilbur Halyard's initial
involvement with the NAACP, beginning in 1924, and his 1929 term as president of the
Milwaukee branch. Also included is correspondence exchanged between the NAACP national
office and the Milwaukee branch. It should be noted that there are overlaps in the
correspondence series and in the correspondence of specific committees.
The SUBJECT FILES illuminate numerous issues which faced the Milwaukee branch, such as its
effort to ban the Amos n' Andy television
program because of its offensive stereotyped black roles. Under the leadership of Ardie A.
Halyard, the branch succeeded in having the show dropped by WTMJ-TV after 4 October 1951.
Material from the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), which consists of only
four items, deals in part with the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, which planned to
challenge the seating of that state's delegation at the 1964 Democratic National convention.
The United Negro College Fund, one of Ardie A. Halyard's community interests, is also
represented in this series. Other topics covered in this series include affirmative action,
school desegregation, voter registration, and fair housing.
The VISUAL MATERIALS include photographs and ephemera, 1958-1962; depicting members and
events of the Milwaukee branch of the NAACP, fliers to NAACP-sponsored programs, and NAACP
promotional drawings. A panoramic photograph of the NAACP national convention of 1960,
prominently featuring Wisconsin delegates is also included.
Part 2, 1972-1989
Part 2 is arranged in the following categories: National Records, Regional Records, State
Records, Administrative Records, Correspondence and Related Material, Subject Files, and
Discrimination Files.
The NATIONAL RECORDS consist of correspondence with the national office while the REGIONAL
RECORDS and STATE RECORDS consist of correspondence, and related materials concerning issues
and activities in which the Milwaukee Branch was involved. Records in each of these groups
is filed chronologically.
The ADMINISTRATIVE RECORDS include meeting minutes, committee files, memoranda, personnel
information, reports, Branch election files, and membership files as well as a few financial
records.
The CORRESPONDENCE and RELATED MATERIAL, 1977-1988, principally of the Branch president,
Christine Belnavis, is filed chronologically.
The SUBJECT FILES are arranged alphabetically and principally concern the integration of
the Milwaukee public schools.
The DISCRIMINATION FILES include cases formally filed with the Milwaukee Branch, as well as
other Milwaukee cases, some of which did not involve the NAACP. These cases fall into four
general categories: those that have exhausted all legal avenues; inmate complaints; those
that lack substance, and those for which the NAACP felt it could provide assistance. The
formal complaints are each filed by year and alphabetically thereunder. The other cases are
filed chronologically.
Arrangement of the Materials
This collection was received in multiple parts from the donor(s) and is organized into 2
major parts. These materials have not been physically interfiled and researchers might need
to consult more than one part to locate similar materials.
