Title	George Raymond Scrapbook - 1960's - 1990's
Author	Raymond, George
Subject	National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; Chester (Pa.) -- History; Civil Rights -- African Americans -- History
Coverage	1960's - 1990's
Description	George Raymond was the president of the Chester, Pennsylvania branch of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) for nearly twenty-five years. This scrapbook, created by Raymond, focuses on the Chester Civil Rights movement in the 1960's through photographs, newspaper clippings and other materials, although it includes materials from other years. 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.
