DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WELFARE, CONSULTANT FOR NEGRO WORK, 1925-1960
About 1925, the Department of Public Welfare established a State Division of Negro Welfare.
The division worked principally with the counties in establishing welfare programs for black
recipients. Included are records of black prison inmates, correspondence on the employment of
blacks in welfare work, correspondence with black juvenile correctional institutions, public
welfare institutes and meetings, correspondence with colleges concerning the training of
black social workers, and minutes of the Advisory Committee on Training and Correction.
