Abstract:

Papers of Anna Holden, a research sociologist who was active in various civil rights organizations throughout the 1950s and 1960s. The collection reflects Holden's work with the Washington, D.C., and Ann Arbor, Michigan, chapters of the Congress of Racial Equality, and her interest in the fair housing projects sponsored by those organizations. In June 1968 she began a study of desegregation in small and medium-sized school districts for the United States Civil Rights Commission. The study was later taken over by the Center for Urban Education, and involved detailed case studies of the school districts of Charlottesville, Virginia, Providence, Rhode Island, and Sacramento, California. Records from this study and from a similar study made in Clinton, Tennessee, in 1956 are a major portion of this collection. A second portion of Holden's papers consists of records of the activities of the Washington chapter of CORE, primarily during the early 1960s, and of the direct action projects of its Housing Committee. The collection also includes a taped radio interview with Holden, made in 1964, and four tapes recording meetings of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission regarding school desegregation in Charlottesville, 1967-1968. There are very few personal papers in the collection.

Gladys Anna Holden was born in Ocala, Florida, in 1928 or 1929, and lived there until her graduation from high school in 1946. She earned a bachelor's degree in sociology from Florida State University in 1950, and went on immediately to do a year of graduate work in sociology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She finished her master's degree in 1955.

Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, the period to which the large majority of her papers pertain, Holden worked for various social service and civil rights organizations or in related university programs, as a research sociologist. Between 1951 and 1955 she was affiliated with the Southern Regional Council in Atlanta. She then moved to Nashville, where she held research positions at Fisk University from 1956 to 1959. Among her projects was a study of school desegregation in Clinton, Tennessee. Holden served as the chairperson of the Nashville branch of the Congress of Racial Equality from 1957 to 1959. In 1959 she enrolled for one year in the Ph.D. program in sociology at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. For the next three years she worked as an editorial assistant in the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research. She also became the chairperson of the local chapter of CORE in 1961 and organized the Ann Arbor Fair Housing Association in the same year.

Miss Holden quickly achieved a reputation as an energetic and effective organizer and, along with her other activities, served as secretary of the national CORE organization from 1957 to 1962, and as Midwest regional representative to its powerful National Action Council in 1963. During these years she was an active spokesperson for the view that CORE should be a biracial, direct action organization, not primarily a sponsor of political reform.

In 1963 Holden moved to Washington, D.C., where she held a number of social research positions and quickly achieved a prominent position in the local CORE chapter. During her years in Washington, 1963 to the early 1970s, CORE underwent reorganization after the expulsion of its chairman, Julius Hobson, and the initiation of direct action assaults by the CORE Housing Committee (of which Holden was a member) on housing discrimination in Washington.

In June 1968, Holden began a study of desegregation in small and medium-sized school districts, for the United States Civil Rights Commission. In September, the Center for Urban Education in New York took over the project and retained Holden as chief investigator. The study became a collection of separate and detailed accounts of the school districts of Charlottesville, Virginia, Providence, Rhode Island, and Sacramento, California. The initial research was completed in 1970, and was later updated and published in final form as The Bus Stops Here (New York, Agathon Press, 1974). Following completion of her work on the study, Anna Holden moved to Detroit, Michigan.

The papers have been arranged in six series: Personal and Miscellaneous Papers; Congress of Racial Equality Records; Clinton, Tennessee, School Desegregation Study; School Desegregation Study in Three Cities; Tape Recordings; and Newspaper Clippings.

Anna Holden's PERSONAL AND MISCELLANEOUS PAPERS include materials which she collected regarding civil rights events and issues that were not directly related to her professional work or CORE activities. These papers consist mainly of published reports and magazine and newspaper articles. The few personal papers in this series include correspondence, both general and specifically related to her arrest as a sit-in demonstrator in Ann Arbor, and a few descriptive documents such as resumes. Also in this series are copies of most of Holden's own publications written between 1951 and 1968.

The majority of the CORE RECORDS dates from 1963 to 1966, and primarily consists of papers of the Washington, D.C., chapter, material gathered in the course of expulsion proceedings against Julius Hobson, and papers regarding the direct action projects of the chapter's Housing Committee. The chapter papers reflect Holden's activities with CORE and include membership lists of the chapter itself (1964-1966) and of its employment committee (1963-1965). They also contain lists of activities, community contacts, and Washington journalists from the same general period. Hobson served as chairman of Washington CORE during the early 1960s, but was removed from office and expelled from CORE after a dramatic campaign by dissidents, including Anna Holden, within the Washington chapter. The complaints against Hobson and accounts of the action taken against him are included in this series. Following the reorganization of Washington CORE in the wake of Hobson's expulsion, one of the chapter's most successful and best publicized functions came to be its Housing Committee's numerous direct action campaigns. Papers gathered in pursuing these cases make up a major portion of this series. The Housing Committee also collected published literature from other fair housing groups and from periodicals. The committee accumulated files of correspondence and public papers in the course of negotiating with various public bodies and officials for stricter enforcement of fair housing regulations. Other Housing Committee files include copies of relevant legislation, lists of members and participants, minutes and reports dating from 1963-1966, and papers pertaining to the slum and suburban housing tours organized in 1965 and 1966 by the Ad Hoc Committee on the Housing Crisis, of which Washington CORE was a member. Among the other CORE records in this series are certain published descriptions of national CORE's programs and methods and copies of some national mailings. Separate files were also created for papers of other local CORE chapters, such as the Fair Housing Association, connected with Ann Arbor CORE, 1962-1963, Battle Creek Michigan, CORE, 1963, and a miscellaneous assortment of other CORE chapters.

The CLINTON, TENNESSEE SCHOOL DESEGREGATION STUDY made up a segment of the research that Holden carried out at Fisk University, in Nashville. The study was published in 1956. This series of records includes a late draft of the study, notes, data, and background material gathered in the course of research. Among her research materials in this series are interviews with local residents and printed material on community leadership and attitudes. Separate files contain papers and clippings pertaining to John Kasper, a segregationist from New Jersey who rallied local sentiment against school desegregation and later spent time in prison for encouraging Clinton residents to break the law.

The series described as SCHOOL DESEGREGATION STUDY IN THREE CITIES brings together the materials that Holden collected during her research on the progress of desegregation in the schools of Charlottesville, Virginia, Providence, Rhode Island, and Sacramento, California. Although only a few portions of the study appear here in draft form, the administrative and legal history of the project is well documented through Miss Holden's correspondence; copies of proposals, contracts, and budgets; field expense accounts; and personnel records. Besides data specific to the three cities, Holden also collected published information on federal legislation relating to school desegregation and on national trends in education for minority groups, pedagogical innovations, and the consequences of segregation and desegregation in schools.

Important data for the study came from personal interviews that Holden and her research assistant carried out in the three cities in 1969 and 1970; the forms on which they recorded the data and answers are also included. These forms often contain more personal and informal remarks by the researchers as well. The interviews were designed to elicit the reactions of individuals directly involved in school desegregation--students, teachers and administrators, parents, and prominent members of minority communities. Most of the papers in this series consist of notes, published papers, and official documents relating to the administration of the three school districts, the formation and implementation of desegregation plans, and community reaction to desegregation. Data on enrollment, the racial composition of the student and faculty populations, school boundary changes, and busing arrangements, are documented in school board minutes and in records specifically relating to district boundaries. Accounts and examples of federally encouraged curriculum and textbook changes are included for each city. Public reaction and hostility to the changes accompanying school desegregation are documented in a number of subject files.

For Charlottesville, there are in addition a number of records pertaining to the relationship between the city and county school districts and to the city's tolerance of private schools set up to allow whites to escape the integrated public schools. The collection of Providence material contains considerable documentation of the city's experimental or “model” schools. Desegregation in Sacramento was complicated by the heterogeneity of the non-black population of the city; these special concerns are referred to in a number of files. Holden also collected documents from school districts and regions in many other parts of the country. Possibly these publications were used in choosing the case studies for her research.

Four of the five TAPE RECORDINGS in the collection record a closed hearing held in Charlottesville by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights during the 1967-1968 school year, to investigate the means and progress of school desegregation there. The commissioners imply that Charlottesville may be regarded as a model for the rest of the country because of its success in overcoming a long history of school segregation. The fifth tape is a radio interview of Anna Holden on WGMS, Washington, D.C., on September 6, 1964. The discussion lasts about fifteen minutes and concerns the history of Washington CORE, CORE's philosophy of action and its current projects in Washington. Holden describes herself as the Special Assistant to the Chairman of Washington CORE.

The final series, NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS, brings together topical accounts of events in Washington, Clinton, Charlottesville, Providence, Sacramento, and Ann Arbor. There are also a few clippings relating to Holden personally.
