Organizational History, 1926

Soon after Mrs. Hope arrived in Atlanta, she join a group of women who worked to provide day care centers for children living in the West Fair community. Their efforts culminated into the founding of the Neighborhood Union. This group of records chronicles the organization and history of the Neighborhood Union and its unique style of social work among African Americans in Atlanta. Most of the items are original documents including the Constitution of 1908, the charter of 1911, its first published brochure and plan of organization.
