The opera tells the story of Porgy, a disabled Black man living in Catfish Row, a slum of Charleston, South Carolina. Porgy encounters Bess, a Black woman wishing to escape an abusive relationship with her lover, Crown, and her drug dealer, Sportin' Life. The two eventually begin living together and fall in love, with many consequences ensuing. \"Porgy and Bess\" is considered a classic of American opera and is performed to this day.","From its premiere, \"Porgy and Bess\" was controversial, mostly for the story's treatment of Black characters and perpetuating racial stereotypes. It was overall a commercial failure and met with little critical success. In 1942 a Broadway revival brought it back to the American public's attention, and the opera begin to receive success, which cemented it as a cultural touchstone. Eventually a large European tour was undertaken by Robert Breen and Blevins Davis of ANTA, which lasted from 1952 - 1956, to monumental success. The tour visited 89 cities and 29 countries. The opera's performance in the Soviet Union was considered the first cultural exchange post-World War II between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. The production eventually toured the United States, also to great success.","Processed by Special Collections Research Center Staff.

The opera tells the story of Porgy, a disabled Black man living in Catfish Row, a slum of Charleston, South Carolina. Porgy encounters Bess, a Black woman wishing to escape an abusive relationship with her lover, Crown, and her drug dealer, Sportin' Life. The two eventually begin living together and fall in love, with many consequences ensuing. \"Porgy and Bess\" is considered a classic of American opera and is performed to this day.","From its premiere, \"Porgy and Bess\" was controversial, mostly for the story's treatment of Black characters and perpetuating racial stereotypes. It was overall a commercial failure and met with little critical success. In 1942 a Broadway revival brought it back to the American public's attention, and the opera begin to receive success, which cemented it as a cultural touchstone. Eventually a large European tour was undertaken by Robert Breen and Blevins Davis of ANTA, which lasted from 1952 - 1956, to monumental success. The tour visited 89 cities and 29 countries. The opera's performance in the Soviet Union was considered the first cultural exchange post-World War II between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. The production eventually toured the United States, also to great success.","Processed by Special Collections Research Center Staff.

Membership in the organization peaked in the late 1960s, with chapters in several major American cities and over 2,000 members.

It is estimated that between 5,000-15,000 members of these groups attended a plenary session of the RPCC in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from September 4-7, 1970.

However, the D.C. convention was plagued with difficulties, including local authorities refusing to grant permits to the group and financial barriers from intended venue locations, such as Howard University. Ultimately, the convention did not occur as intended, with only a rock concert being held on November 27 in Meridian Hill Park and some informal gatherings and speeches occurring in churches over the remaining days.
