SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
On August 23, 1967, during a deposition in the case of
Copeland v. South Bend
Community Corporation
, NAACP lawyer and lead attorney for the plaintiffs Lewis Steel
posed a critical question to South Bend School Superintendent Charles C. Holt: “Given
the racial problems that exist in America today, [is] integration…a desirable result which
public officials should be trying to achieve?” Holt’s lawyer, L. C. Chapleau, immediately
objected on the grounds that the question raised issues beyond the scope of the matter
at hand. “I think we are getting into a philosophy that involves the United States [as a
whole],” said Chapleau. “We are involved with the trial of certain issues in this case, and
I think that the interrogation of this witness should be confined to these questions only
insofar as it affects the subject matter of this litigation.… He can answer this one
[question], but I don’t know if we continue in such broad questions whether we will permit
him to answer” (Reel 7, Frames 0619–0620).
Steel’s question, and Chapleau’s objection to it, point to the dilemma at the heart of
the NAACP’s legal challenge to racial discrimination in the Midwestern United States in
the late 1960s and early 1970s, extensively documented in this edition of
Papers of the
NAACP, Supplement to Part 23: Legal Department Case Files, 1960–1972, Series C:
The Midwest, Section II: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri,
Nebraska, West Virginia, and Wisconsin
. Seventy-seven case files reproduced in this
collection provide a montage—of discrete people, places, and events—that serves to
establish a regional pattern of racial segregation. The problem for a legal strategy
directed at changing the overall racial picture was that it relied on working one issue and
one case at a time through the courts. While this occasionally resulted in the
establishment of a precedent with broad applications, more often than not it exhausted
vital resources—including, at times, public goodwill—in pursuit of much more narrow
rulings. Steel’s question was certainly important, but Chapleau’s protest was also valid.
In fact, individual communities and local government officials across the country would
have to confront the implications of Steel’s question in terms of the institutions and social
arrangements of their day-to-day lives.
The major legal issues highlighted in these documents are segregation in public
schools and discrimination in housing, employment, labor union membership, public
facilities, and the administration of justice, mostly in the years immediately following the
landmark federal Civil Rights Act of 1964. As a whole, the collection reveals the breadth
of situations throughout the ten states covered in which people sought the legal
assistance of the NAACP, as well as the limits to the national organization’s ability to
respond effectively to those needs. Many of the smaller case files contain only a portion
of the material involved in a particular controversy, indicating that the NAACP Legal
Department played only a supplementary or advisory role in addressing a grievance. In
some instances, NAACP involvement on behalf of a client proved fruitless.
One area of relative success for NAACP legal efforts in the late 1960s was the
campaign for fair housing. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 did not apply to real estate
transactions, leaving the problem of discrimination in the sale or lease of housing without
a federal standard. Many local jurisdictions in the 1960s attempted to enact fair housing
x
ordinances, usually bringing multiple sets of values directly into competition: the rights of
property owners versus the right to nondiscriminatory treatment, and the democratic
principle of majority rule versus constitutional protections of minority rights. The files
here detail local contests over fair housing in Aurora, Illinois (
Aurora Branch of NAACP
v. McCoy
); Springfield, Illinois (
Chapman v. Watson
); Flint, Michigan (
Flint Branch of the
NAACP v. City of Flint
); and Lansing, Michigan (
Ranjel v. City of Lansing
)—all of which
involved variations on a basic story line: the attempt to enact and enforce local
antidiscrimination laws facing either suits to enjoin their implementation or electoral
efforts to overturn them through local referenda. In Aurora, the NAACP actually sued to
prevent the application of a clause that would have allowed discrimination by real estate
brokers if “so directed in writing by the owner of such real estate” (Reel 1, Frame 0064).
In Springfield, two brokers sued to prevent the enforcement of an executive order that
would have forbidden state officials from renewing the professional licenses of those
who engaged in discriminatory practices. In Flint, a successful drive by opponents of the
city’s fair housing law forced a referendum on the issue. In Lansing, the U.S. Court of
Appeals overruled a lower court’s decision to block a referendum on a local ordinance;
the appeals court, though sympathetic to the fair housing law, could not justify
preventing a legal election, albeit one that might register a majority rejecting
nondiscrimination in housing.
The fair housing issue comes to a climax in these files in the case of
Jones v. Alfred
H. Mayer Company
. Joseph Lee Jones and Barbara Jo Jones saw their first suit against
the Mayer Company dismissed in 1966 by a judge who claimed a lack of jurisdiction over
their complaint. While the company may have refused to sell a lot in a new subdivision
outside St. Louis to the African American couple, “plaintiffs do not contend that the state
has given any affirmative support whatever to defendants’ racially discriminatory
practices,” noted the district court judge, who went on to say that there existed nothing
that could “compel an unwilling seller to convey his property to them in the absence of a
statute so requiring” (Reel 21, Frames 0936–0937). The National Committee against
Discrimination in Housing took up the Jones’s appeal, and famed civil rights lawyer and
director of the Legal Department of the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith, Sol
Rabkin, joined their legal aid team, arguing that the Civil Rights Act of 1866 was, in
effect, a fair housing law, barring as it did the conditions of slavery, including
prohibitions—governmental or private—on a citizen’s right to purchase and own property
(Reel 21, Frame 1019). The case eventually reached the U.S. Supreme Court, which
upheld Rabkin’s argument in June of 1968, albeit two months after Congress passed
and President Lyndon Baines Johnson signed the last major civil rights law of the 1960s,
prohibiting discrimination in the sale or lease of housing. The Supreme Court’s decision
in
Jones v. Mayer
is reprinted here on Reel 22, Frames 0188–0229 and 0230–0264.
The centerpiece of this collection is a series of high-profile school desegregation
cases in Midwestern metropolitan areas. Reproduced here—because the lead plaintiff
filed suit against the school district of Topeka, Kansas—is the Supreme Court decision
of 1954 in
Brown v. Board of Education
declaring “separate is inherently unequal” and
officially putting the federal imprimatur on a policy of ending the assignment of students
to public schools based on race. While most immediately affecting the southern states
that officially maintained dual school systems, the
Brown
decree had significant
implications for the entire country, including those northern and Midwestern communities
where years of inequality and racial prejudice in employment and in the housing market
had created residential patterns that effectively produced segregated schools. By the
1960s, the mass migration of middle-class families out of central cities and into suburban
jurisdictions had exacerbated those patterns. The legal challenges to segregated
xi
schools in places such as Detroit and Grand Rapids, Michigan; South Bend, Indiana;
and Minneapolis, Minnesota, were built on the NAACP’s hopes that the
Brown
decision
could be applied broadly to not merely mandate
desegregation
, but actively work to
produce racially
integrated
schools. Stretched to its logical limits, the
Brown
decision
established a case for eliminating the racial separation of students whatever the cause.
Four sets of case files from Indiana highlight one set of legal tactics for addressing
segregation outside the Jim Crow system. In Kokomo, South Bend, Muncie, and East
Chicago, the NAACP assisted in lawsuits to block the construction of new school
buildings on the basis that the sites chosen would continue to draw students in such a
way as to perpetuate and enhance the established patterns of
de facto
racial
segregation in the public school systems. The original complaint in
Collier v. Kokomo–
Center Township Consolidated School Corporation
, for example, presented the
argument that the new school would be “located in an area from which Negroes have
been excluded. Due to its location, it will be 100% or virtually 100% white attended,” with
the side effect that the new attendance zones would “ensure the conversion of [the
existing] Kokomo High School into a racially segregated Negro school. Kokomo High will
also be an inferior facility as compared to the new white high school” (Reel 3, Frames
0337, 0429–0430). The 1967 court ruling in
Collier
denied the plaintiffs’ request for an
injunction against the new school, citing a lack of evidence of deliberate intent to
discriminate in the site selection. The judge did, however, rule against the continued
operation of predominantly black elementary schools in the district “with their inferior
educational resources, facilities, and programs” (Reel 3, Frame 0865) and found
problems with the lack of black employees in the school system.
Higgins v. Board of
Education
, concerning the Grand Rapids, Michigan, school system, involves a similar
issue to these Indiana cases.
Since public school systems are functions of state governments, the NAACP often
had to adjust its legal tactics depending on variations in state laws. The school
segregation suits in Illinois reproduced here revolved around that state’s Armstrong Act,
a 1963 law that allowed local boards of education periodically to revise school
attendance zones to prevent and eliminate segregation. The questions raised in
Rajala
v. Joliet Grade School District No. 86
,
Tometz v. Board of Education
, and the Springfield
school case concern the constitutionality of the Armstrong Act and whether it could be
applied to situations of de facto segregation. The circuit court decision in
Tometz
upheld
the act as a legitimate tool “by a State in an attempt to correct or remove segregation or
racial imbalance in the public school system,” noting that, since Illinois had outlawed
de
jure
segregation in 1909, a 1963 law could not have been intended solely to prohibit
state discrimination (Reel 2, Frames 0492–0493). The
Tometz
decision allowed the
Waukegan, Illinois, school board to redraw its boundaries, though perhaps because of
two other specific factors in this case: first, the judge decided that the new attendance
zones did not create an unreasonable hardship on anyone, and second, that opponents
of the plan offered no viable alternative (Reel 2, Frames 0495–0497).
The single most important civil rights case contained in this edition of
Papers of the
NAACP
is
Bradley v. Milliken
, which grew out of an attempt in 1970 to address the
growing segregation of the Detroit, Michigan, public schools at a time when the city itself
was undergoing a dramatic demographic shift: the population of Detroit itself became
predominantly African American, while most whites in the metropolitan area lived in the
surrounding suburbs. After the Detroit school board voted to implement a desegregation
plan in 1970, a backlash erupted in the city, leading to the electoral recall of four board
members and the development of a determined resistance to busing students across
portions of the city for the purpose of achieving racial balance in individual schools. In
xii
1971 the first trial in the case resulted in a judicial ruling against the school board’s
policies as a “
prima facie
case of state-imposed segregation in Detroit public schools”
(Reel 11, Frame 0891). The resulting metropolitan desegregation plan took the approach
that a state system could apply a state remedy and included dozens of suburban school
districts along with the city in a complex proposal to transport students in order to
integrate area schools. The suburban districts promptly sued that their jurisdictions were
being unfairly involved in a conflict that they had not contributed to creating. Supporters
of the metropolitan plan argued: “No plan can ‘work’ if it offers a ready avenue for
resegregation” (Reel 13, Frame 0116). Opponents of the plan included President
Richard M. Nixon, whose March 17, 1972, message to Congress included the Student
Transportation Moratorium Act, a legislative effort to forestall court-ordered busing.
The NAACP enjoyed a brief moment of triumph in 1972 with the judge’s approval of
the metropolitan plan. General Counsel Nathaniel R. Jones noted in an internal
memorandum on the Milliken case: “We took a Northern city, made a
de jure
case out of
it, proved it and made it stick, and now we have a Metropolitan order. This is the most
significant development in school litigation since
Brown
” (Reel 13, Frame 0287). During
the appeal process, which ultimately reached the U.S. Supreme Court, Jones wrote to
NAACP head Roy Wilkins, “The case is now bigger than Detroit. It has significance for
every Northern community” (Reel 15, Frame 0707). Unfortunately for Jones and his
allies, in July 1974 the Supreme Court struck down the metropolitan plan as an
unconstitutional infringement on the outlying districts that were not legally responsible for
the discriminatory practices of the Detroit school system. The ruling essentially
determined the legal limit of the federal approach to public school segregation that the
Brown
decision had begun twenty years earlier: officially sanctioned racial segregation in
public schools would be prohibited, but cases of racial imbalance in individual schools
and school districts caused by housing patterns would be beyond the scope of federal
interference. Desegregation, in a narrow legal sense, and not de facto integration, would
remain the extent of federal government policy.
In the area of employment discrimination,
International Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers 1 and Hoel
pitted two core constituencies of the national Democratic Party in
the 1960s against each other—unionized white workers and African Americans. The
case involved the refusal by the St. Louis, Missouri, Building and Construction Trades
Council (BCTC), AFL-CIO, to work alongside non–AFL-CIO labor, in this case, a group
of black workers of an independent labor organization (Reel 21, Frame 0684). The
NAACP filed a charge of unfair labor practices against the BCTC and a judge enjoined
the union from striking until the case could be brought before the National Labor
Relations Board for a hearing.
James v. Ogilvie
and
Blackwell v. Shapiro
contain
material on similar cases involving black workers shut out of public construction jobs by
discriminatory union practices in Chicago and Springfield, Illinois, respectively. In the
latter, Lewis Steel noted that the NAACP’s strategy must remain aggressive against
state discrimination and that “we can’t let those unions off the hook that have not opened
their doors” to black members (Reel 1, Frame 0261).
Linda Choate’s case represents the only one here involving charges of sex
discrimination. A Court of Appeals reversed a lower court’s dismissal on a technicality of
her claim that Caterpillar refused to hire her solely because she was a woman (see
Choate v. Caterpillar Tractor Company
).
Sixteen cases in this collection involve problems in the administration of justice.
Ezell Littleton was the lead defendant in a suit against the office of the state’s attorney
for Alexander County, Illinois, in 1972, claiming that attorney Peyton Berbling, his chief
investigator, and two county circuit court judges discriminated against black
xiii
complainants and black witnesses. The defendants cited the doctrine of judicial immunity
in seeking a dismissal of the charges, claiming that their roles in the court system
protected them from personal liability in the exercise of their official functions (see
Littleton v. Berbling
). In the case of
State v. Coffee
, a defendant appealed his murder
conviction in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on the basis of racially biased remarks made by a
member of the jury. Frederick Freeman Darsey, incarcerated in the Medical Center for
Federal Prisoners in Springfield, Missouri, filed suit in 1970 against the U.S. Bureau of
Prisons for cruel and unusual punishment in his treatment, including constant transfers
to other facilities, assault, poor conditions within the prisons, and unnecessary hardship
in distancing him from his son (see
Darsey v. United States
). Darsey never disputed his
guilt on telephone harassment charges, but protested the treatment to which he had
been subjected for merely a misdemeanor conviction, including transfers to seventeen
different facilities in twelve months, six weeks in solitary confinement while awaiting
transportation, and, most painfully, being unable to communicate with his family during a
period in which his mother died. Darsey’s letters paint a grim picture of prison conditions
(see especially Reel 21, Frames 0601–0605).
Several of the files in this collection relate to cases that predate the landmark federal
Civil Rights Act of 1964. These illustrate the existence of racially discriminatory practices
even in northern and Midwestern communities that lacked the formal Jim Crow systems
of the old South.
Gwynn v. Caldwell
concerns a suit by multiple defendants who were
arrested for refusing to leave a restaurant in Peoria, Illinois, after they were denied
service in 1962. The Civil Rights Act later explicitly prohibited this type of discrimination
in public accommodations. James E. Gregory III and his family sued two proprietors in
Wisconsin who refused to allow him to rent spaces in their trailer parks in 1963 and 1964
(see
Gregory v. Laufenberg
and
Gregory v. Madison Mobile Homes Park
). The
interpretation of this case turned on whether a trailer park more closely resembled a
public accommodation (and thus covered by civil rights law) or private housing, which
did not have federal antidiscrimination protection until 1968. In another notable case, a
Dr. Deters in St. Paul, Minnesota, refused to treat a Mrs. Zachary, claiming that taking
on black patients would hurt his business with white customers (see
Zachary v. Deters
).
The state board of medical examiners issued an official warning of misconduct to the
doctor, but no legal mechanism existed to prevent racial discrimination in the provision of
medical care.

“Separate is inherently unequal.”
—from the
Brown v. Board of Education
decision
he centerpiece of
Papers of the NAACP, Supplement to Part 23:
Legal Department Case Files, 1960–1972, Series C: The Midwest,
Section II: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota,
Missouri, Nebraska, West Virginia, and Wisconsin
, is a series of high-
profile school desegregation cases in Midwestern metropolitan areas.
Reproduced here is the Supreme Court decision of 1954 in
Brown v. Board
of Education
declaring “separate is inherently unequal” and officially putting
the federal imprimatur on a policy of ending the assignment of students to
public schools based on race. While most immediately affecting the
southern states, the
Brown
decree had significant implications for the entire
country, including those northern and Midwestern communities where
residential patterns effectively produced segregated schools.
The single most important civil rights case contained in this edition of
Papers of the NAACP
is
Bradley v. Milliken
, which grew out of an attempt in
1970 to address segregation in the Detroit, Michigan, public schools. In
1971 the first trial in the case resulted in a judicial ruling against the school
board’s policies as a “
prima facie
case of state-imposed segregation in
Detroit public schools.” The resulting metropolitan desegregation plan
included dozens of suburban school districts along with the city in a
complex proposal to integrate area schools. Opponents of the plan
included President Richard M. Nixon, whose March 17, 1972, message to
Congress included the Student Transportation Moratorium Act, a legislative
effort to forestall court-ordered busing.
