Abstract
The article focuses on the Pennsylvania Civil Rights Movement. On July 13, 1933, Raymond Pace Alexander, an African-American attorney from Philadelphia, wrote a letter to Walter White, the executive secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), regarding the Berwyn, Pennsylvania, school desegregation case. Topics discussed include debates over strategy among Black activists, protest and politics, and the 1935 Pennsylvania Equal Rights Act.
