The National Negro Congress (NNC) was established in 1936 as a national coalition of church, labor, and civil rights organizations that would coordinate protest action in the face of deteriorating economic conditions for blacks. It was the culmination of the Communist Party's Depression-era effort to unite black and white workers and intellectuals in the fight for racial justice. This collection comprises of the working files of John P. Davis and successive executive secretaries of the NNC.
