Series 1. W.E.B. DuBois Clubs of America, 1961-1966, 1980

Physical Description: 23 folders, 10 legal folders, and 1 oversized folder.

Scope and Content Note

This series includes minutes, constitution, correspondence, flyers, reports, membership lists, news clippings, newsletters and other publications produced or collected by Anne Levine Kaufman and/or Michael Kaufman during their involvement with the national and local activities of the W.E.B. DuBois Clubs of America (DBC) between 1964 and 1966. Some of the background material dates from before the clubs founding in 1964 and one folder of information refers to activities of the Sequieros DuBois Flynn Club from 1980. Of special interest are the hand-written minutes from the Los Angeles DuBois Club, receipts and organizational materials from the Bruin DuBois Club, a pamphlet The Fire This Time, written by the Venice DuBois Club about the 1965 Watts Uprising (in the "Articles" folder), and handwritten notes and drafts in the Civil Rights Movement folder. A commemorative (joke) EXTRA edition of the Hollywood Star Gazette announces "Anne Levine Elected DuBois Club Prexy."
