The Faith Rich papers, 1957-1966, contain diverse material concerning the activities of the Chicago chapter of the Congress of Racial Equality. The chapter's constitution and operational documents, such as minutes and committee reports; general correspondence; pamphlets, broadsides, and song; and reports and publications as well as the subject files on employment and housing give an overview of these activities, especially from 1962 to 1965. The file on education heavily documents the attempts of the research and school committees and the training and planning conference to integrate and upgrade the quality of education in the Chicago public school system.
