Title:
Memorandum to Dr. J. E. Shepard and the Committee in Charge of the Durham Fact-Finding Conference
Description:
Enumerating various subjects to be addressed in the Durham Fact-Finding Conference, namely hospitals; funding and segregation in public schools; coordinated means of manufacture and distribution among "Negro farmers" and their cooperation with credit agencies, insurance, and social services; voting habits and disfranchisement; the expenditures of "the Negro church"; and the current state of "Negro literature." Adding, as an addendum, an idea for a study whereby replies to letters sent to "1 thousand leading Negroes in the Southern states in all avenues of life" could be "tabulated and compared with the official returns" of the 1928 election.
