A FINE ASSOCIATION (CIVIL RIGHTS--NAACP.) HUGHES, LANGSTON. Typed Letter Signed to Juanita [Jackson] Mitchell. Single small 8vo page, written on one side only. New York, March 23, 1962.
a letter with superb content written to Juanita Jackson Mitchell (1913-1987), civil rights activist and attorney, and the lawyer sent by the NAACP to defend the Scottsboro Boys in 1937. Jackson was married to Clarence Mitchell, Director of the Washington D.C. NAACP. Hughes writes: "Dear Juanita: S.O.S, as my book FIGHT FOR FREEDOM, the Story of the NAACP is about to go to press, and all the folks on this photo (cataloguer's note: not included here) which we wish to use in the book have been identified, except in the three spaces on the enclosed list left blank." Hughes continues, asking if she or her mother (Lillie M. Jackson) might know who the unidentified people might be."if you don't know---as a last resort, I'll try Du Bois in Ghana. I've tried everybody else living on the picture---and some have made a guess." He refers to the "mysterious ladies in the front row," and hazards a guess at Marion Cuthbert, and Mabel Byrd Curtis. Hughes concludes with, "Cordial regards to you and Clarence, and your mother (who is in the book), Sincerely yours, Langston."
