(38) Interview with Juanita Jackson Mitchell (session 3), August 5,1987.
(39) Charles Houston's political/legal approach and the character of his
commitment to the struggle for African American freedom is reconstructed with
insightfully and movingly by Genna Rae McNeil in her excellent biography,
Groundwork: Charles Hamilton Houston and the Struggle for Civil Rights', see
especially "Conclusions," 213-226.
(40) The Crisis, 42 (September 1935), 272; Interview with Juanita Jackson Mitchell
(session 1), February 20,1987; the Murphy-White correspondence is found in file
folder 1934 in NAACP papers at the Library of Congress.
(41) Crisis, 44 (May 1937), 144; Raymond Wolters, Negroes and the Great
Depression; The Problem of Economic Recovery (Westport, Connecticut: 1970), 327.
Wolters identifies Juanita Jackson as "a prominent socialite in Negro Baltimore";
he may be the source of a similar characterization of Jackson by Gary Jerome
Hunter in his "Don't Buy From Where You Can't Work': Black Urban Boycott
Movements during the Depression, 1929-1941" (Ph.D. dissertation, University of
Michigan, 1977), 125n. Hopefully the present work has demonstrated that these
unfortunate descriptions are seriously inaccurate.

the Oral History Collection of Columbia University, 8; TJie Crisis, 42 (October

Right to Strike; Labor Organization and the New Deal in Baltimore," Maryland
Historical Magazine, 77 (Winter 1982), 299-318. Elsewhere I have differed with
Argersinger on her interpretive stress on the labor movement as a response to the
New Deal; see Andor Skotnes, Review of Jo Anne E. Argersinger, Toward a New
Deal in Baltimore, Pennsylvania History, 56 (October 1989), 346-348.
