Title:	Raymond Pearl Papers
Dates:	1895-1946
Abstract:	Pearl's opposition to eugenics earned him both friends and adversaries (most notable among the latter, E. M. East), as reflected throughout the Pearl papers. His correspondence with East, Herbert Spencer Jennings, Karl Pearson, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Ira Jewell Williams, Edwin B. Wilson, F. A. E. Crew, the Rockefeller Institute, and William T. Howard (among others) touches frequently on issues of genetics, eugenics, race, and human evolution. The correspondence with the N.A.A.C.P. comprises three folders of materials for the years 1927-1936, primarily concerning a study of Harlem Hospital.
