| Abstract:
|
The Brooklyn Armstrong Association was formed in 1906, renamed the Brooklyn Hampton
Association in 1920, and disbanded in 1943. The Association was formed principally
as a vehicle for Brooklynites to support the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute
and to engage with matters of African-American "uplift." The collection includes material
from throughout the life of the organization, including: a scrapbook of clippings
about events and meetings, solicitations, meeting invitations, announcements, reports,
membership lists, Hampton Institute publications, and the like; some annual reports;
minute books for the Executive Committee and Annual meetings; and correspondence,
mostly from 1943 concerning the final days of the organization.
