Police, Community Relations and Crime documents preview

 Police and crime played a large part in the daily realities of African American communities. The Chicago Urban League (CUL) and Herbert T. Jenkins collections are particularly strong in this area. The CUL collected a wealth of material to help them fight for the rights of civilians. Herbert T. Jenkins was the police chief of Atlanta from 1947-1972, seeing the city through the Civil Rights era. He appointed the city’s first African American policemen, and later was to sit on the Commission on Civil Disorders (Lyndon B. Johnson’s Kerner Commission).
