- Arthur_B._Spingarn abstract "Arthur Barnette Spingarn (1878–1971) was an American leader in the fight for civil rights for African Americans.Spingarn was born into a well-to-do Jewish family. He graduated from Columbia College in 1897 and from Columbia Law School in 1899. He was one of a small group of white Americans who decided in the 1900s to support the radical demands for racial justice being voiced by W. E. B. Du Bois in contrast to the more ameliorative views of Booker T. Washington. He served as head of the legal committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and was one of its vice presidents starting in 1911. He interrupted his legal career to serve for several years as an United States Army captain in the Sanitary Corps during World War I and protested the discriminatory treatment of African Americans in the U.S. military. He succeeded his brother Joel Elias Spingarn as president of the NAACP in 1940 when the legal arm of the organization was spun off into the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund. He served as the NAACP's president until 1965.Spingarn was an avid collector and amassed a collection of materials –books, newspapers, manuscripts, and realia –related to the African-American experience worldwide, a collection \"unique in its depth, breadth, and quality,\" which he sold to Howard University, where it was incorporated into the renamed Moorland-Spingarn Research Center, the largest and most valuable research library in America for the study of Negro life and history.The rest of his collections were sold at auction in 1966.He died at home in New York City on December 1, 1971. At his memorial service, he was eulogized by Associate Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall and Roy Wilkins, executive director of the NAACP. Buell C. Gallagher, retired president of the City College of New York, called him \"the rallying center of the aggressive forward movement\" of the NAACP.".
