- Description:
- Five page progress report dated July 30, 1962 that provides updates on civil rights activities conducted by the Charleston, South Carolina, and Spartanburg, South Carolina branches of the NAACP. The Charleston branch outlined gains of job upgrades and newly established jobs for African Americans in assorted Charleston businesses that came about through a combination of direct action, negotiation tactics, and filing of complaints with the President's Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity. The Spartanburg branch reported on the status of sit-in demonstrations organized at Woolworth and Kress department stores to desegregate dining facilities in those establishments; both demonstrations in Spartanburg were threatened by violence.
