Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) of Durham, NC records, 1894-1992

110 Linear Feet
The Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) of Durham was founded in 1920 and served the larger Durham community from the 1920s until the 1970s. The Harriet Tubman branch of the Durham YWCA served the African-American community in particular and, through collaboration with the Central branch, fostered integration in a racically segregated Durham. In the 1970s, the YWCA became the home of the Durham Women's Health Co-op and the Durham Rape Crisis Center, which operated out of the YWCA Women's Center. These organizations were central to reform movements throughout Durham, from women's health and childcare to fair wages and civil rights. The YWCA of Durham records reflect both the administrative history of the YWCA, as well as the programs, projects, social events, and community outreach that formed the backbone of the organization. For example, a series of scrapbooks, put together by Y Teen groups, program participants, and residents of the YWCA's boarding houses captures the strength of the YWCA community. The broader impact of the YWCA is evident in their range of programming, especially the clubs they hosted, from PMS and Single Mothers groups to a "Matrons Club." The YWCA's impact is also reflected in administrative and financial materials that tell the story of the Y's work to serve the people of Durham that needed a safe place to build community for themselves and their families.

Collection is comprised of files documenting the development and daily operations of the Feminist Women's Health Center, a feminist non-profit women's healthcare center, from the years 1973-2003.

The National Abortion Federation, the professional association of abortion providers in the United States and Canada, also figures prominently throughout these records.

This collection consists of nine 18x24 posters produced by artist Jeanette May for the CPS Girl Germs campaign.

Boys will be boys is over
Box 1

Poster text: You know who you are. You are boyfriends, relatives, classmates, and strangers. You think you have the right to push us around. Think again. "Boys will be boys" is over. We're told to protect ourselves. We're warned not to go out at night alone. We're advised to get out of abusive relationships. Well, we're sick of trying to avoid you! You know who you are. We will walk down the street wearing a short skirt, or whatever we want, and it is not an invitation to you. And don't flatter yourself–we do not consider your taunts a compliment. We can't always tell the innocent flirt from the violent creep. You know who you are. Every guy is a potential threat as long as society tolerates "men behaving badly". And if you're a guy we actually like, that doesn't mean you can control us. We are not property and you do not own us. It's about power. Well, no more! We won't stand for it. We are fearless. We are strong. We demand respect. You know who you are ... and you need to stop.

Girls have the right to a future
Box 1

Poster text: Girls have the right to a future, with or without a baby. We need our families' support to help us to be good parents. The baby's dad should help out, too. We're just like other girls–we want to finish high school, go to college, get a job. But it's hard. Sometimes we're told to go to a school for pregnant girls. That should be our choice. We should be allowed to stay in our regular school with friends and teachers we know. Schools should have daycare centers just like some businesses do. Some schools have special homebound programs so we don't fall behind when we first give birth. People's attitudes need to change, too. If people treat pregnant teens with respect, we will make better choices about pre-natal care, adoption, and abortion. If people accept the fact that teens have sex, we will get decent sex education, access to birth control, and be less likely to get pregnant accidentally. People have to stop treating pregnant teens and teen moms like sexual criminals.

Abraham Choi, Penn Station bathroom, Midtown Manhattan, New York, N.Y., 2020 May 24 219.7 Megabytes (1 .tif file)
Digital-materials RL11897-SET-0001 > Image-file RL.11897-TIFF-0001

Choi was in a Penn Station bathroom on March 13 when a man stood behind him and started coughing and spitting on him. "I was shocked more than angry," Choi says. "Why would he do that?" "You Chinese f-ck," the man said. "All of you should die, and all of you have the Chinese virus." Choi waited for the man to leave and then reported the situation to a police officer. "I was told that spitting wasn't a crime, and that it wouldn't be worth the paperwork I would have to go through to take any sort of action," he says. Not knowing what else to do, Choi later anonymously recounted the story on Reddit, but he was hesitant to come forward in fear that his family might become the target of future attacks. Because of the shame he felt from the incident, he didn't even share the story with his parents. But when attacks against Asian Americans kept occurring, Choi felt that he needed to speak up. "This whole thing made me into more of an introvert. I'm worried about my kid. I don't want her to face this kind of racism," he says. "It should just be love that we hold for one another." Choi says the events of recent weeks have made him more passionate about fighting racism than ever before. "I will not stand silent until everyone in the U.S. can be considered equal."
