Records of Milwaukee's oldest and largest neighborhood group
which document its involvement in economic and business development, residential improvement
and diversification, bringing the arts to Sherman Park, and the effort to prevent the Park
West Freeway from being built. The collection contains extensive information about the
SPCA's attempts to end practices such as "red lining" (refusal to insure homes in certain
neighborhoods) and blockbusting (scaring home owners into selling their homes) which were
designed to prevent people of different color, beliefs, or sexual orientation from moving
into an area. The records include numerous photographs of the Goblin Parade, a Halloween
event for children; protest marches; Kwanzaa celebrations and many more activities. The
collection also contains information about City West Arts (a committee of the SPCA dedicated
to bringing the arts to the neighborhood), the Sherman Park
News, and considerable information about surveys of Sherman Park, including actual
surveys, data collection reports, documentation concerning the surveys, and final
results. English

Biography/History
Six west side families concerned about the future of their community began the Sherman Park
Community Association in the autumn of 1970. Three primary concerns at this time were a wave
of real estate blockbusting, solicitation, and racial steering; a plan to extend a freeway
through the residential and commercial areas; and an increasingly segregated school
system.
Some early accomplishments were to help stop the Park West Freeway and to contribute to
redevelopment plans; to audit racial steering and discriminatory real estate practices
resulting in a lawsuit against four real estate companies; to prepare the groundwork for the
formation of the Metropolitan Milwaukee Fair Housing Council; to help form more than 125
block clubs; and to publish the monthly Sherman Park News to
inform the neighborhood of important issues.
The SPCA developed a comprehensive affirmative marketing plan for neighborhood houses. It
surveys homes every spring to identify properties that have deteriorated and are in serious
need of maintenance. The Education Committee expanded its work to advocate metropolitan
school redistricting for school desegregation. The Business and Economic Development
Committee oversaw a market feasibility study for the Sherman Theater. SPCA organizes and
provides assistance to area business associations, serves as a site for the Milwaukee County
Summer Youth Employment Program and administers a project serving at-risk youth in an area
middle school. The Sherman Park Yacht Club was created by the SPCA to keep the neighborhood
"shipshape."
The mission of the SPCA is to identify and publicize the advantages of the geographical
area in which the association operates; to educate the Milwaukee community to these
advantages; to seek to improve communication within and outside of the community concerning
schools, housing, public safety, businesses, and innovative projects which will initiate
action designed to promote integrated living.
The committees and projects involved in carrying out this mission include block clubs,
bingo, business and education, fund raising, housing, mass transit, membership, newspaper,
promotions, volunteer services, and special projects. These are all volunteer committees,
though some of the projects include paid staff members.
The board of directors is composed of fifteen directors; ten are elected and the remaining
five are appointed by the president and subject to confirmation by the board. The elected
directors serve a two year term with five directors being elected each year, and the
appointed directors serve a one year term. The board provides leadership to the
organization, manages the general affairs of the SPCA, and provides direction to and
receives recommendations from the committees.
The executive committee consists of the officers of the SPCA which are the president, 1st
vice president, 2nd vice president, secretary, and treasurer who are elected to a one year
term by the directors. The function of the executive committee is to conduct business on
behalf of the SPCA between scheduled board meetings.
The executive director reports to the board of directors and is responsible for the overall
administration of the SPCA including fiscal, personnel, and reporting functions. The
executive director provides technical assistance and advice to the board of directors and
committees in setting goals for the SPCA and developing and implementing short and
long-range strategies for meeting the SPCA's stated purposes. The executive director serves
as a representative of the association and acts as its spokesperson on behalf of the board
of directors.

Scope and Content Note
The Bingo files (1981-1987) concern a joint effort by the SPCA, Fond du Lac-North Business
Association and the Women's Coalition to raise money to fund their projects.
Block Watch and Block Club files (1988-1994) document the development of the block
club/watch movement in the Sherman Park area. The SPCA began organizing such clubs in 1988,
using a community organizer, and conducted a survey of what clubs already existed in the
area, what help they needed and which ones needed to be reorganized. Some of the concerns
included pawn shops, drug houses, and youth crime.
The Board of Directors files (1974-1994) provide a good overview of many aspects of the
SPCA's involvement in community projects and development. The records outline the SPCA's
goals, purposes and activities, and contain information on the various committees of the
organization. The files also describe funding issues, grant proposals, surveys and community
programs.
The files of the Business and Economic Development Committee (1987-1991) and the Business
and Economic Development Project (1985-1991) describe the combined effort of the SPCA,
project director Vivian Fehr, and local businesses to improve economic conditions, and to
encourage businesses to locate and stay in Sherman Park. Some of the efforts of these groups
included surveying local businesses to pinpoint the problems for businesses in the area;
offering low cost security systems to local businesses; improving the local crime situation;
cleaning up business districts, and encouraging business owners to keep their areas clean;
and most of all, getting local businesses involved in the committee.
The City West Arts files (1979-1983) document the activities of an SPCA committee involved
in creating interest in the arts in the Sherman Park community. The committee undertook many
projects such as the Concerts of the Arts, poetry readings and workshops, dance exhibitions,
jazz and blues concerts at local churches and taverns, talent showcases, and art
competitions such as the Side Walk Drawing contest for young people. The records document
many programs, community opinion, and results.
Files of the Duplex Starter Home Program (1977-1979), Fair Housing, and the Open Housing
Program, among others, deal with attempts to encourage diversity in the Sherman Park
neighborhood. The programs discouraged absentee ownership, which the SPCA saw as one of the
major factor in the decline on the area, leading to lack of pride in the community, higher
crime rates, and a general downward trend in property values and appearance. The records
also deal with real estate block busting and insurance red lining, practices which made it
difficult to get loans for housing, brought down property values and affected the movement
of certain groups of the population.
The Executive Committee files (1983-1994) are similar to the Board of Directors files in
that they outline the activities of the SPCA. The files contain information on funding,
other committees of the SPCA, programs and hiring issues.
The Mass Transit Advisory Committee files (1984-1987) discuss the building of two freeway
extensions, the Gap Closure and the Stadium Freeway Extension. The records include a small
booklet listing pro's and con's of the two proposals, their effect on mass transit, and
alternatives. Much of the material in the files covers ways to change and improve the
existing mass transit system, making it more profitable and useful. Several alternative
systems are evaluated including light rail, the freeway extensions and the bus system.
The files of Milwaukee Associates in Urban Development (1983-1996) primarily involve the
SPCA's volunteer program. This was a program very similar to Volunteers In Service To
America (VISTA) as it placed unemployed people as apprentices with community organizations
to gain experience in community development and organizing. The program which placed the
unemployed was called the Community Development Apprentice Program.
The Milwaukee Teen Initiative Program was part of the Greater Milwaukee Crime Prevention
Project. The files (1987-1989) identify goals of the project which were to identify truant
prone, non-delinquent youths and get them involved with affiliated community
organizations.
The Mobility Assistance Program files (1982-1984) concern a program intended to expand
housing opportunities for families and individuals with low and moderate income levels
within a designated area and to assist these families in searching for housing. The records
include program policies and procedures, and also faculty reports.
The Neighborhood Development Program files (1989-1990) contain mainly financial and grant
information. This project was intended to stop a decline in the quality of housing and life
in the lowest income census tracts.
The Personnel Committee files (1985, 1987-1988, 1994) contain minutes, policies and
procedures, and job descriptions. Names of individuals seeking positions within the
association are not included.
The Photograph files contain photos from many different SPCA events and projects. Some of
these include the Goblin Parade, a Halloween event for children; protest marches; Kwanzaa
celebrations and many more. Most of the photographs are labeled, but few are dated. When
received, the photographs were originally filed in alphabetical order, and that arrangement
has been retained; photographs found elsewhere in the records have been added to this
arrangement. A file may contain photographs of people, SPCA events, or Sherman Park locales
all beginning with that letter.
The Scrapbooks contain newspaper clippings which mainly deal with racial problems in high
schools and integration of the schools in 1978 and 1979. Not all of the clippings deal with
Milwaukee schools, and many concern Madison.
The Shermanfest files (1991-1996) document the planning, organization, and outcome of the
local festival put on annually by the SPCA. Included in the files is correspondence, expense
and profit reports, and evaluations of the effectiveness of the event for each year.
Shermanfest offers a business fair, food, rides, music and other events.
The SPCA v. Wauwatosa Realty files (1977-1987) contain correspondence and legal motions
concerning the lawsuit filed by the SPCA and 39 people against Keske Realty Inc., Relocation
Realty Inc., Towne Realty Inc., and Wauwatosa Realty Co. charging violations of federal fair
housing laws. The suit alleged that the realty companies steered black home buyers into
black and interracial neighborhood while steering white home buyers away from these same
neighborhoods. A complaint was also filed with HUD.
Sherman Park News and Sherman Park
Today (1971-2002) are the newsletters put out by the SPCA. Most issues are
included, though there are some gaps. Until 1983, they are in newsletter form and are filed
with the main part of the collection in alphabetical order. After 1983 they are in newspaper
format and are with the oversized materials. These newsletters contain considerable
information about the activities of the SPCA and the character of the Sherman Park
community.
Surveys were often conducted by the SPCA. The Housing Committee conducted annual housing
surveys in which the surveyors took a critical look at the houses, garages, yards, walks,
fences, and bushes in the Sherman Park area. Problems were listed for each address, and a
letter was sent to the owner indicating repairs were needed; some addresses were referred to
the building inspector.
Arrangement of the Materials
The files are organized alphabetically by subject, then chronologically.
