|
| Volume: | 12.00 cubic ft. |
| Arrangement: |
Files are arranged in five subseries: A. Organizational and legal, n.d., 1947-1999; B. Board of Directors, n.d., 1952-1999; C. Schedules, 1950-1990; D. Correspondence, 1949-1994; E. Events, 1952-2004 |
| Summary: |
A) Organizational and legal records concerning the founding and management of Freedom House, including several folders from the Council on Community Affairs of Upper Roxbury (1947-1949), the predecessor to Freedom House. Materials include records of the purchase of the Hebrew College at 14 Crawford St. and the building's renovation after the fire of 1960, financial statements, histories, newsletters, awards and public relations materials. Records of the Freedom House Archives Committee and evaluations of Freedom House from 1986 and 1992 are also included.
B) Board of Directors records consist of minutes and reports of regular meetings, annual meetings, retreats, and long-range planning meetings as well as biographical information about Board members. Later records document the Board's efforts to reorganize Freedom House and plan for the retirement of the Snowdens and include interoffice memos, minutes from staff meetings, and personnel manuals.
C) Schedules of Freedom House and its co-directors, Muriel and Otto Snowden, consist of calendars of daily, weekly, and monthly events.
D) Correspondence is arranged in two sub-subseries: 1) General Correspondence is of a routine nature, but it clearly depicts the day-to-day activities of Freedom House and the community activism of its founders. Correspondence to and from national and local politicians, dignitaries, celebrities and businesses indicates the degree of support received by the Snowdens for Freedom House. Correspondence from community members and organizations includes invitations to meetings, events and speaking engagements. Researchers should note that speeches by Muriel Snowden and correspondence relating to the Snowden's professional lives outside Freedom House, and correspondence from friends that may relate to Freedom House, are found in the Muriel S. and Otto P. Snowden Papers, M17. Flyers, brochures and announcements are also included in this series, as well as hate mail received by Freedom House and primarily written during its involvement in school desegregation (Box 10, folders 375-376). General Correspondence contains letters from outside organizations which are also represented in Series V, Outside Organizations. 2) Personal Assistance Correspondence consists of requests for personal assistance, and employment and scholarship referrals. Of interest is a small quantity of correspondence concerning requests for assistance for emigrant domestics from the South during the early 1960s.
E) Events that celebrated the dedication and rededication of the Freedom House building and various Freedom House anniversaries are documented in these files. Awards to community members were often presented at these meetings and are documented in this subseries. |

| Summary: |
A) Social and Community programming was conducted primarily in the 1950s and 1960s. This series contains records from some of Boston's earliest interracial programs for children, youth, and adults. Files include organizational files, minutes, brochures, flyers, correspondence, newsletters, and reports.
B) Urban Renewal program files cover the involvement of Freedom House in neighborhood clean-up projects and block organizations, and its participation in contracts with the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA) and the Action Boston Community Development (ABCD) from 1949-1968. Materials include organizational files, correspondence, minutes, reports, proceedings, notices, contracts, and public relations materials.
C) Housing Programs began during urban renewal with the incorporation of the Freedom House Development Corporation, a non-profit organization established to build Brunswick Gardens, a housing development in Roxbury. Later efforts to develop in the Grove Hall area and programs to assist home buyers are also documented in these files. Materials include legal records, applications, correspondence, plans, reports, brochures and proposals.
D) Education and Desegregation files document the involvement of Freedom House with the issue of desegregation prior to 1965 when the Racial Imbalance Law was passed and focus on Freedom House's response to the 1974 ruling by Judge Garrity to enforce desegregation of the Boston Public Schools. They also cover educational programming in the 1980s and 1990s. The Institute on Schools and Education was established by Freedom House to coordinate the response of Freedom House and the organizations with which it worked. Hotline and rumor control records, reports and formal responses, director's notebooks, and conference and meeting records are included. Reference files include newspaper clippings, filings and responses to the court order, and filings of the Boston School Committee's Department of Implementation, and subject files that provide background to the issue of desegregation throughout the country and its implementation in Boston. Freedom House also formed collaborations with Operation Exodus, the Freedom House Coalition, and the Coordinated Social Service Council. Position papers, minutes, press releases, and other organizational materials from these groups are included in this subseries. Later educational programming focused almost entirely on educational preparation, computer literacy, and scholarships. The bulk of these materials document Project REACH.
E) Career Development programs were primarily aimed at adult education and skill enhancement. The files document some of the many collaborations between Freedom House and local corporations. Materials include organizational files, correspondence, and notices. |
