BIOGRAPHY

Charlotte Hawkins Brown (June 11, 1883-January 11, 1961) was born in Henderson, North Carolina, the daughter of Caroline Frances Hawkins and Edmund H. Hight. The family moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts, in the late 1880's, where CHB attended public schools. During her senior year of high school Alice Freeman Palmer, formerly president of Wellesley College, encouraged her to attend the State Normal School at Salem and provided financial support. In 1901 CHB accepted a job as teacher in a one-room school in rural Sedalia, North Carolina. It was this school that CHB transformed, with the help of many contributors, into an accredited school and junior college and renamed Palmer Memorial Institute (PMI). In 1911 CHB married Edward S. Brown, also a teacher; they had no children and were later separated. CHB became a nationally recognized educator and received honorary doctorates from Howard, Tuskegee and other universities. She was active in the National Council of Negro Women, the N.C. Teachers Association, and many other organizations, and she was the first black woman to serve on the national board of the Young Women's Christian Association. She lectured and wrote about Negro women, education, and race relations. CHB remained president of PMI until 1952. She died of heart failure in Greensboro, N.C., in 1961.

For additional biographical information, see #1-29 in this collection, and the article about CHB in Notable American Women (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1980), which includes a list of additional sources.

SCOPE AND CONTENT

This collection provides information about CHB's life and activities, about PMI, and particularly about CHB's continuing struggle to enlarge the school, the financial problems she encountered, and her constant fund-raising efforts. It is arranged in three series:

• I. Personal and biographical
• II. Correspondence
• III. Palmer Memorial Institute

Series I, Personal and biographical, contains biographical material by CHB and by others, including an incomplete draft of an unpublished biography of CHB by Ceci Jenkins. There are also speeches (some are excerpts and reports by others) and writings by CHB, certificates, awards and honorary degrees received by CHB, and photographs of her and others. Of her speeches CHB said, "For the most part [they]... are along social lines of uplift and general educational practice" ("The Quest of Culture," 1929, in #14). The writings and speeches included here are mainly about race relations and Negro women and were delivered on such occasions as meetings, anniversaries, memorial services, graduations, and on receiving honors. The series begins with the biographical papers, followed by CHB's speeches and writings, her awards and honors, and photographs.

Series II, Correspondence, contains mainly letters to and from CHB (most CHB letters are typescript carbon copies). Many of those to CHB are letters of congratulation. Much of the correspondence deals with PMI: fund-raising, expansion, and events. Dated correspondence (see "Microfilm of Collection") is arranged chronologically. No attempt was made to reconstruct the chronology of the undated letters, which follow the dated correspondence and are arranged in two alphabetical groups: from CHB and to CHB. There is one folder of letters from others to others. An Index of Correspondents follows the inventory. Researchers should refer to this index, as there is also correspondence in the other series, particularly Series III.

Series III, Palmer Memorial Institute, is divided into two sections: Administration and Students, each arranged chronologically. The first contains copies of the charter (1907) and the constitution and by-laws (1908), various CHB reports to the Board of Trustees, reports by the staff to CHB, some financial and fund-raising records, brochures, press releases, programs, scrapbooks and photographs. The second section includes documents about student activities, publications, and essays about PMI. Such items as the scrapbooks, photographs, and clippings document both the administration of PMI and its students.

MICROFILM OF THE COLLECTION

• Dates and/or other information have been written on some items by a number of people. In organizing the material, the processor accepted dates added by others. All dates and other information added by the processor are in square brackets.
• The pages of some items were numbered to aid the microfilmer, the proofreader, and researcher. Blank pages were not numbered.
• All reels were proofread by the processor and corrections were made where necessary.
• Some of the material in the collection was difficult to film due to such problems as flimsy paper with text showing through, faded and blurred carbon copies, and creased paper. The film was carefully produced and proofread to insure that these items are as legible as possible.
• All photographs were microfilmed with the collection. They are also available on the microfilm of the Schlesinger Library photograph collection (M-54).
• Letters of one or more pages with either the salutation or the signature missing, as well as portions of letters, have been marked as fragments.
• There are numerous letters with the text on the two inside pages written in two different directions, and some letters that have the final lines of text and the signature on page one. In these cases letters were microfilmed as they appear; pages were not turned and first pages were not refilmed.
• CHB sometimes used the verso of letterhead or of printed pages for carbon copies and some print may show through. These letterhead/printed sides were microfilmed only if they contained text.
• Enclosures were microfilmed after letters.
