Clippings, 1910s-1980s

Extent:
10 boxes
Scope and content:

The majority of this series consists of newspaper clippings originally collected by C.C. Spaulding, Asa Spaulding, and other unknown figures. Only a small amount of original newspapers and magazine pages remain in the series; nearly all of the clippings are photocopies of the original article. Many of the clippings relate to the civil rights movement, post-dating C.C. Spaulding's life, suggesting that they were acquired by other people associated with NC Mutual in the mid-twentieth century. Topics include the desegregation/integration of schools and public spaces; racial violence, lawsuits, and protests accompanying the civil rights movement; African American education, colleges, and businesses; politics; issues relating to the Cold War; insurance companies and governance; and other miscellaneous files on various public figures and events. NC Mutual coverage and publicity represents another significant component of the series, along with a large amount of clippings documenting C.C. Spaulding's speeches, appearances, and work with NC Mutual. The bulk of the clippings date from the 1940s through the 1960s.
