- Summary
- The Ida Guggenheimer papers consist of correspondence and printed matter on Richard Wright and E. Franklin Frazier. The material regarding Wright concerns his writings and his withdrawal from the Communist Party of the U.S.A. Frazier was a prominent educator and sociologist. His correspondence with Guggenheimer relates mainly to an incident reported in the "Black Dispatch" and "The People's Voice" alleging that he had violated a labor organized boycott against a restaurant in Harlem that did not employ African-Americans (1945). Other material peripherally relates to his career and the fight against racial segregation in Washington, D.C. during World War II. Five articles written by Frazier are included in this collection. Additionally, there is printed matter concerning the Lafargue Clinic, a mental hygiene clinic in Harlem.
