    Guide to the Records of National Negro Health Week
    Chandler, Dana R.
    The records consist of documents generated or received by the Planning Committee, at Tuskegee (1915-30; from 1930-32 it was located at Howard University Medical School; further records from 1933-36 were located at Tuskegee) for the National Negro Health Week. The collection includes correspondence, newspaper articles, pamphlets, posters, and other general documents. The records are potentially valuable to those interested in researching health trends among African Americans during the late 1920s and 30s. The documents may also be used to determine the extent to which individuals and communities of African Americans worked toward developing viable plans for better health.
