Description:

Online collection of digital materials related to the life and civil rights work of Reverend Joseph A. DeLaine. DeLaine was active in the Civil Rights movement in Clarendon County, South Carolina, and helped organize the 1949 Briggs v. Elliott lawsuit that was eventually included in the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education United States Supreme Court case. Community pressure forced DeLaine to move from Clarendon County to Florence County, South Carolina, and eventually leave the state as a fugative. DeLaine served as a pastor in New York City and Buffalo, New York, before retiring to Charlotte, North Carolina. The collection contains letters, speeches, reports, narratives, and affidavits, news clippings, programs, booklets, as well as photographs of DeLaine, his family, and individuals involved in the Briggs v. Elliott lawsuit. The bulk of the materials covers DeLaine's work from 1942 until 1974.

The Civil Rights Digital Library received support from a National Leadership Grant for Libraries awarded to the University of Georgia by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for the aggregation and enhancement of partner metadata.
