Description

This folder contains materials created/collected by the National YMCA as part of their interracial work, including materials from the files of Leo B. Marsh, a National Board staff member from 1948 to 1967, assistant executive director of the National Board from 1967 to 1976, staff aide to the Committee on Interracial Advance, and one of the major leaders in the campaign for racial equality in the YMCA. Marsh worked with George Corwin on the National Board Chairman's Committee on Interracial Advance and the Interracial Policies and Program Committee. This folder specifically contains lists of YMCAs still having practices of racial discrimination during the 1960s, and correspondence and news clippings concerning protests and attempts to integrate YMCAs which had not complied with the National Board's policy.
