Highlights of the National Committee on Segregation in the Nation's Capital file include the committee's opposition to a plan to segregate D.C. parks in 1949. There is also a major report drafted by the committee that covers the broad subject of race relations in the District in 1949, with a special emphasis on housing segregation. This committee, founded in 1946, included E. Franklin Frazier, Charles H. Houston, Hubert Humphrey, Mordecai Johnson, Peter Odegard, Walter Reuther and Eleanor Roosevelt.
