Civil rights leader, author, labor organizer, and teacher, James Leonard Farmer, Jr.
was born on January 12, 1920, in Marshall, Texas. He earned degrees from Wiley
College (1938) and the Howard University School of Divinity (1940). Farmer went on
to found the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) which played a key role in the Civil
Rights movement, particularly in launching the Freedom Rides in the summer of 1961.
These bus rides tested the federal interstate transportation accommodations at bus
terminals. Combined with other CORE non-violent acts, the Freedom Rides led in part
to the passage of the landmark Civil Rights Bill of 1964, and to the Civil Rights
Voting Act the following year. Farmer is widely recognized as one of the Civil
Rights movement's "Big Four," along with Martin Luther King, Jr., Roy Wilkins of the
NAACP, and Whitney Young of the National Urban League.
In 1998 President Bill Clinton awarded Farmer the nation's highest civilian honor,
the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Farmer died on July 9, 1999.
Collection documents the Farmers' professional and personal activities including
their involvement in the U. S. civil rights movement. Correspondence, minutes,
financial records, and other materials relate to the Congress of Racial Equality
(CORE), the civil rights organization James Farmer founded in 1942. The papers also
contain extensive documentation of three organizations Farmer established in the
1960s and 1970s: the Center for Community Action Education, the Council on Minority
Planning and Strategy (COMPAS), and the Public Policy Training Institute. In
addition, the papers contain material relating to Farmer's unsuccessful campaign for
Congress in 1968; his tenure as assistant secretary in the U. S. Department of
Health, Education and Welfare (1969-1970); printed materials on civil rights,
education, housing, and labor issues in the 1960s and 1970s; extensive
correspondence concerning Farmer's national lecture engagements (1967-1975);
Farmer's literary productions; and personal papers relating to the Peterson and
Farmer families.
Some restrictions apply.
