194068113Springfield: Negro Youth Improvement League 1940. Paperback. Very Good. 11p. Wrapper. 16cm. The Negro Youth Improvement League is identified in this pamphlet as ". composed of young Negro men and women of Springfield who feel that they have suffered certain social injustices long enough." This uncommon pamphlet attacks the Dunbar Community League claiming that it is elitist refuses to hire local African Americans and disproportionately emphasizes support for Camp Atwater although only 10-15% of its campers are from Springfield.The Dunbar Community League was headed by William Nelson DeBerry a nationally prominent African American cleric who had been pastor of St. John's Congregational Church in Springfield. The Dunbar Community League established around 1930 to take over activities started by DeBerry's church changed its name to Urban League of Springfield Inc. in 1950. Camp Atwater appears to still operate identifying itself online the oldest African American camp in the USA. and as owned and operated by the Urban League of Springfield Mass. We don't know if the complaints in this pamphlet had any effect on the operations and activities of the Dunbar Community League but the pamphlet appears to have been an honest effort by interested youth to make sure that their needs were not being ignaored.
