- Description:
- Eight page report prepared by Isaiah DeQuincey Newman, field secretary of the South Carolina Conference of Branches, NAACP, dated August 13- August 19, 1962. The report begins with a summary of miles traveled and letters composed and received; this is followed by an annotated schedule itemizing work and meetings conducted on behalf of the organization throughout the time period of the report. Also included is a special report to Gloster B. Current, director of branches for the NAACP, about "Operation 8-13-62," the planned boycott and picketing of S.H. Kress and F.W. Woolworth stores in South Carolina. The report summarizes the boycott strategy meeting, held at Palmetto Educational Association Building in Columbia, South Carolina on August 5-6, 1962, and attended by branch and Youth Council presidents and advisors. The report names the NAACP members who are assigned to supervise the campaign locally. It states that Spartanburg, South Carolina has adopted an ordinance which makes it a crime to picket without registering in advance, punishable by fine or thirty days in jail. The constitutionality of the ordinance is being reviewed by attorney Matthew J. Perry, chairman of the South Carolina State NAACP Conference Legal Redress Committee. The report includes an outline of sessions held at the Week-End Youth Retreat.
