Scope and Contents note

From the Series:

Series contains materials created within the Citizenship Committee. The files include agenda books from meetings, conference papers, form letter books, reports and publications, Lucille Ellison’s papers and conference planning papers of the National Conference on Citizenship.

These files cover many interesting issues involving the national identity around WWII and how to include patriotism and American civics into the classroom. The National Conference on Citizenship papers illustrate the strong partnership between the U.S. Department of Justice and the NEA in encouraging American studies in the classroom. This subseries provides great source material for studying the intersection of American Patriotism, Civics and education during the 1940s-1950s.
