Archie Henderson - Conservatism, the Right Wing, and the Far Right - A Guide to Archives

Location: Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College, Northampton, MA 01063

Description: Bailie (1874-1962) was a social reformer and radical. She joined the Anne Adams Tufts chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) in 1915. In 1927 she discovered that the society's officers maintained blacklists of "doubtful speakers," which she made public in February 1928. In March she wrote a pamphlet entitled "Our Threatened Heritage" protesting the blacklist. The pamphlet, distributed nationally, led to her expulsion from the DAR. The collection documents the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) "blacklist" controversy and the "Red Scare" of the mid to late 1920s and her fight to repeal the Teacher's Loyalty Oath in Massachusetts from 1935 to 1937. Correspondents include Grace L.H. Brosseau (President General of National DAR, 1925-28). The subseries on The Daughters of the American Revolution and the Red Scare contains publications from a number of organizations involved in this controversy, both those on the "blacklist" and patriotic organizations in support of the DAR. Patriotic organizations include Better America Federation (Joseph Joplin), American Vigilant Intelligence Federation, Key Men of America (Fred Marvin), Lusk Committee (Joint Legislative Committee to Investigate Seditious Activities), Massachusetts Public Interest League, and National Defense Life Insurance Company.
