The Racine Environment Committee was formed in the fall of 1967 “to study, plan and recommend action on community problems which affect the industrial, economic and social climate of the Racine metropolitan area.” In particular, the programs of the REC were designed to assist the growing minority and low-income population in the inner-city, in the fields of housing, education, employment, and business opportunities, and through other community projects and local government work.

REC's predecessor organization, the Hill-Kidd Committee, was established in August 1966 by the Mayor of Racine to investigate racial discrimination in the city. Named after co-chairmen Merritt Hill, president and chairman of the J. I. Case Company, and William C. Kidd, president of Western Publishing Company, the Committee ultimately recommended the formation of a permanent organization empowered to deal with urban and racial problems. The establishment of the Racine Environment Committee, Inc. was the result.

Funding for administration of the REC, its educational grants, and its business and housing loans, is provided by many area manufacturers and industrialists; foremost among the supporters have been Samuel C. Johnson and the Johnson Foundation. Committee membership is open to individuals and contributors from all areas of business and community life in Racine, and the REC has maintained close ties to many local civic and civil rights groups. Among the organization's most important programs is the Educational Assistance Program. Recognizing that only 15 per cent of Racine's minority high school graduates went on to college and technical schools, as compared to 55 per cent of the white graduates, the EAP was established to provide the needed grants and other financial aid for minorities. The EAP also provides special counseling for enrollees visits students at school, and has held college orientation and career education sessions. Another area of REC interest has been the Graduate Program in Urban Education, designed to increase the awareness of local teachers in regard to the problems of inner-city and urban education. The program was conducted in conjunction with the Racine United School District and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. The REC Educational Fund, begun in July 1968, raises and administers funds for college grants.

Other major activities of the REC were the General and Summer Employment Programs, designed to find both permanent and summer jobs for inner-city youth, and REC Industries, Inc., which trained and found work for unskilled and under-employed adults. Operating in a factory donated by the J. I. Case Company, and equipped by several area manufacturers, REC Industries produced machine parts for local firms. The REC Non-Profit Housing Corporation had as its objectives the replacement and rehabilitation of substandard dwellings. The Corporation purchased and renovated several homes, which were then sold to residents. The Business Opportunities Committee and Corporation coordinated a loan guarantee program for businessmen in the inner-city and “high-risk” areas, funded with the cooperation of local industries and banks and the Small Business Administration. Other REC committees included Government, Pollution Control, Public Relations, and Public Schools. In addition, the REC is the only Wisconsin affiliate of the National Urban Coalition, which was formed in 1967 through the merger of Urban America, Inc. and the Urban Coalition “to offer a greater commitment to improving the conditions of urban life.” In particular, National Urban Coalition efforts have been directed to the problems of urban development and environment.

In 1973 the Racine Environment Committee was reorganized to concentrate and expand efforts. Further consolidation in 1978 centered REC activities, in two areas, education and employment. The REC Educational Fund was designated as the principal coordinating agent of the education program, while a new Finance Committee was established for fund-raising purposes. Work in these two areas continues to the present.

The records of the REC have been arranged into five major series, which primarily reflect the internal organizational structure and programs of the Committee. These are: General Records, Committees and Programs of REC, Reference and Subject Files, Urban Coalition Records, and Tape Recordings. The major portion of the collection dates prior to 1977, and student files of any date for individuals still enrolled, have been retained by the Committee. Note the restrictions on use of many of the files.

Within the GENERAL RECORDS may be found material pertaining to the organization, operation, and activities of the REC and its committees. A folder of organizational and general papers, including histories, contains the articles of incorporation and by-laws of the Committee, and other papers related primarily to REC's inception. Files of minutes of the REC board of directors and executive committee reveal the groups' planning and decision-making processes. Included with the minutes are agenda and explanations of the agenda, notes from meetings (usually kept by a secretary); material presented at each meeting, such as treasurer's and committee reports; and in some cases, correspondence pertaining directly to meeting arrangements or topics under consideration. Similar materials from the annual membership meeting are also present; these meetings generally had less direct influence on the administration of the REC.

The correspondence and internal memoranda of the executive director are also included in this series; directors have been Joseph B. Nelson, Duane P. Johnson, Brazilian Thurman, and currently, Mary Day. Printed annual reports were produced each year for distribution to the membership and to contributors; a copy of each is included, with drafts of articles and layout sketches. Financial records consist of an extensive file of financial and operating statements, supplemented by partial runs of other financial documents, for example, budgets, contributions, income tax material, insurance policies, and payroll records. The financial records of individual committees and projects are filed with the records of the specific project, except where committee and general financial records are closely related. Membership and mailing lists contain the names of actual and prospective members, and officers and directors of REC. The personnel files are incomplete, and pertain only to those individuals who worked for the Committee, excluding those hired elsewhere under the auspices of REC employment programs. The RECord was the organization's newsletter, which appeared at irregular intervals.

Among the major COMMITTEES AND PROGRAMS OF REC represented in the collection are the Business Opportunities Committee and Corporation, Educational Assistance Program, General and Summer Employment Programs, and the REC Non-Profit Housing Corporation. For all REC committees, many of the same types of papers are present: correspondence and memos of the head of the program or committee, financial records, reports (usually intended for the executive director or board of directors) summarizing the work and accomplishments of the committee or its head, and files documenting the planning and implementation of various aspects of the committee's work.

Records of the Business Opportunities Committee and Corporation include fragmentary minutes, correspondence, organizational and financial papers, and other general items, as well as records of loans requested by businessmen. In 1972 the Corporation revised and updated the minority Business and Community Services Directory, originally compiled by the Racine NAACP. Researchers may not identify or reveal in any way the names of borrowers.

The records of the Educational Assistance Program are the most extensive and complete of any in this series. Several boxes of student case files contain originals or copies of student application forms, transcripts, grade reports, and correspondence. Vouchers for disbursement of financial aid funds are also included. Other data regarding grants and financial aid, enrollment figures and students in general may be found in the folders entitled “records of students and grants.” Use of all student records is restricted under the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974.

Among the documents of the General and Summer Employment Programs are applications; lists of contributors, and participating employers and employees; payrolls, minutes, correspondence, and reports. Most of the files are incomplete. Also fragmentary are the records of the REC Non-Profit Housing Corporation, most of which are financial in nature. Xerox copies of photos of corporation properties and rehabilitation projects are included in the folder of follow-up reports.

The Revenue Sharing Monitoring Project studied the impact of and problems associated with this type of federal program, as viewed from the township and county level. REC administered the funding and work of the Project, whose records include the initial proposals for the study, the survey handbook, interviewer's notes and drafts, completed questionnaires, reference and personnel material, and the final report.

The REC maintained REFERENCE AND SUBJECT FILES regarding a number of local community groups and organizations, many of which worked with the REC toward similar goals. Other folders contain general information about the city and on subjects likely to be of interest to REC staff members and clients. Items within the files primarily consist of printed and near-print material, although newsclippings, notes, minutes of meetings, and pertinent correspondence are also included.

The URBAN COALITION RECORDS mainly date from 1968, when REC affiliated with the Coalition, to 1970, and apparently were collected as reference files by then-Executive Director Joseph B. Nelson, who attended several Urban Coalition meetings and conferences, and corresponded with UC officials. Much of this series consists of printed or mass-produced material, concerning Urban Coalition conferences, programs, reports, and topics of interest. Several folders contain correspondence, annual reports, and newsclippings regarding individual coalitions in which Nelson had a particular interest.

TAPE RECORDINGS of Racine Environment Committee meetings, speeches, and talks are also included in the collection. Eight tapes record an October 14, 1970 meeting of the REC Executive Committee, an unidentified meeting held October 30, 1969 concerning REC's efforts to provide educational opportunities for minority students, 1967 and 1970 Board of Education budget and general meetings, and an undated talk by Dr. Michael M. Danielson regarding the city of Racine and taxation for school needs. An additional tape of a presentation on Negro history, December 1968, is accompanied by a transcript in Box 7, Folder 5.

Access Restrictions

Use of the student records in this collection is governed by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, which allows access only if studies “are conducted in such a manner as will not permit the personal identification of students and their parents.”

Use Restrictions

In addition, researchers may not refer to an individual or commercial borrower in either the researcher's notes, completed study, or in any other manner that would reveal the identity of the borrower. This restriction applies to the financial statements of borrowers from the REC Business Opportunities Corporation, financial aid applications for educational funds, and reasons for termination of students by schools. This restriction, imposed by the donor, is in effect until October 31, 2029.

Prior to beginning research, readers should consult with the reference archivist concerning restrictions on use and publication of data.
