Title	George Raymond Scrapbook 1940's to 1960's. Courtesy of the George Raymond Family.
Author	Raymond, George
Subject	National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; Chester (Pa.) -- History; Civil Rights -- African Americans -- History
Coverage	1940's to 1960's
Description	George Raymond was the president of the Chester branch of the NAACP (National Association of Colored People) for nearly twenty-five years. This scrapbook, created by Raymond, chronicles the Chester Civil Rights movement during the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, through newspaper clippings, announcements, booklets and other materials. John McLarnon describes the impact Raymond had on Chester with these words: Raymond virtually founded the modern civil rights movement in Chester. He worked for more than thirty years to insure that state laws prohibiting racial discrimination were enforced Raymond fought the city administration, the school board, the courts, and one of the most powerful political machines in the history of the state. Largely through his efforts, Chester was transformed from a totally segregated city to a city where blacks could expect fair treatment in employment, housing, and education. Quote from McLarnon, John M. Old Scratchhead Reconsidered: George Raymond and Civil Rights in Chester, Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania History, Volume 69, Number 3 (Summer 2002), 297-341.
