Rosa Parks #222: NAACP urban-renewal nondiscrimination opposition model letter

Section VI identifies the specimen as a letter prepared by the division for branches in slum-clearance communities. Demands include: count Black families likely displaced; standard replacement housing citywide on a nondiscriminatory basis (not only into Black neighborhoods); city-contract provision that private redevelopers offer housing without racial exclusion; written city-contract guarantee that new public facilities be open to everyone; inquire about / press for a federal HHFA racial-relations officer.

• Culminating instruction: if satisfactory assurance that all phases will be nondiscriminatory cannot be obtained, officially oppose the plan and work locally and nationally to stop the entire operation until an open policy is adopted.
• LOC mss859430186 leaves 7, 11, 12. SHA-256 384d4bab… / f99d23b5… / 5f192aa4… · HTTP 200 byte-verified.
• Craft limits held: proposed strategy — not proof a branch sent the letter, stopped a project, obtained a contract, or that Parks drafted/read/acted. No verified issue date (folder 1955–1959; text references Housing Act of 1954). Federal-requirements account is the organization’s presentation, not independent legal determination.
• Distinct from Finding #221 (March 10 1955 private-housing builders’ quota circular) — same LOC item, adjacent leaves, different document.
