National Recreation Association

Description

This folder contains materials created/collected by the National Recreation Association which was founded in 1906 as the Playground Association of America and later known variously as the Playground and Recreation Association of America (1911), National Recreation Association (1930), and National Recreation and Park Association (1965). Initially, PAA was funded by private sources and volunteers until the Russell Sage Foundation agreed to help fund services and start up costs. With more financial security, the organization was able to build, and hired the first professional executive secretary, Howard Braucher, a social worker who held the position for forty years.During the depression, the NRA cut back and, by the end of World War II, many government programs took over the majority of the recreation activities. Howard Braucher died in 1949, leaving the NRA without an effective leader. They continued to be a resource center, published literature and studies, and trained leaders. This folder specifically contains newsletters covering the work of African American social workers involved in recreation organization.
