Abstract:

Papers of Carlton Goodlett, a San Francisco physician, publisher of the Sun-Reporter, and civil rights, peace, and political activist. Subject files consist of correspondence, speeches and articles, form letters, brochures, clippings, and reports mainly relating to his civil rights activities and his involvement in the international peace movement. Civil rights materials concern local discrimination in employment, demonstrations against such discrimination, and local and national attempts to influence government and legislation especially with California governor Edmund “Pat” Brown. Much material from the years when Goodlett headed the San Francisco chapter of the NAACP (1947-1949) is included. Prominent correspondents include S. I. Hayakawa, Hugh B. Hester, Bertrand Russell, and representatives of the American Negro Leadership Conference on Africa, the California Negro Leadership Conference, the Committee for Peaceful Alternatives, and the Congress of Racial Equality.
