Most appear to be from her involvement with the local Arlington branch, but there are other materials from the Virginia state chapter. This series is divided into several subseries, including Bulletins and Newsletters; League of Women Voters of Arlington Operations; Personal Materials (developed around a file Sufit labeled as \"Personal Materials\"); and Studies and Initiatives.","Series 2 houses the materials Sufit acquired from Arlington County. Most of these are related to city planning and research Sufit completed on the history and demographics of Arlington. Series 3 contains Sufit's materials related to teaching and education, including a few classes she took and her papers from the Social Studies Advisory Committee. Series 4 holds her papers related to various women's rights and women's history initiatives. Series 5 contains assorted papers and research materials related to politics. Finally, Series 6 has various publications from the Rock Spring Congregational Church.","Alice Sufit (1918-2012) was a local activist and teacher. Active in several local civic and political affairs, Sufit played integral roles on many councils, committees, and boards for Arlington County. Additionally, she completed much of her work as a longstanding member of the local chapter of the League of Women Voters. Sufit most often fought to improve education, voting rights, and women's rights in Arlington and Virginia.","Sufit was born Alice Rotzch in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, on September 28, 1918. She attended the University of Pittsburgh and moved to Washington, D.C. in 1939. She enlisted in the WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service) in the United States Naval Reserve as a lieutenant during World War II and served from 1943-1948 and worked in the Naval Research Laboratory. During this time, she met her husband Herb Sufit. The two married in 1948 and moved to Arlington.","A few years after moving to Arlington, Sufit joined the Arlington League of Women Voters. She chaired several local and state-level study committees, lobbied politicians, and held board positions. She filled many leadership roles, including Vice President in 1958, President from 1960-1961, and Co-President from 1997-1999. She also became part of the League of Women Voters of Virginia State Board in the 1970s and worked hard to revise the \"Your Virginia Government\" publication. Her additional civic work included membership with the American Association of University Women, including acting as President from 1989-1992. She served on the Arlington County Planning Commission in 1962 and the Commission on the Status of Women. During her tenure on the Commission on the Status of Women, she helped conduct an exhaustive study on discrimination practices against women in Arlington in schools, government, business, and banking. This report led to the permanent establishment of the Commission on the Status of Women in the county. She was award Arlington County's \"Person of Vision\" award in 1998 to commemorate her outstanding civic career.","Sufit earned two graduate degrees (M.A. and M. Phil) from George Washington University in political science and education. In 1961, she began a twenty-year career as a social studies teacher in the Arlington County Public Schools, where she taught at Wakefield High School. After retirement, Sufit served on the school system's social studies advisory committee and the six-year planning committee.","Sufit passed away on August 23, 2012.","Researchers should consult RG 44, League of Women Voters of Arlington, due to Sufit's long involvement with the League of Women Voters in Arlington. Other collections related to Sufit's career and civic activism may be of use as well, including RG 7, Arlington County Public Schools, RG 33, American Association of University Women of Arlington, and RG 35, Commission on the Status of Women, Arlington County.","This collection spans just over two linear feet. Though materials date from 1920-2009, only one item dates from 1920. All other materials span from the 1950s to 2009, with the bulk of materials from the 1990s and 2000s. The materials largely constitute the records Sufit accrued during her career with the League of Women Voters, especially during the 1980s-2000s. Most of these materials are from research she conducted into various issues the League tackled (i.e. campaign reform, redistricting, etc.), though there are also bulletins, speeches Sufit gave, and other League of Women Voters operational materials. The collection contains some documents and publications Sufit acquired serving on county boards and commissions, such as the Planning Commission and the Commission on the Status of Women.

The Staff Meeting files are comprehensive, from 1955 to 1979.  Personnel files, including job descriptions, make up Series 2. Reports are in Series 3; of special interest are the School Narrative Reports, which the nurses wrote at the conclusion of each school year describing the conditions and events of that particular school. Most nurses covered more than one school. These reports cover the years from the mid-1950s to the late 1960s.","Series 4 contains files on medical information and nurses' education. It also includes many issues of publications of interest to school nurses, including Health Education and the Journal of School Health.","Series 5 deals specifically with the transfer of the School Nurses from the Department of Education to the Department of Human Resources in 1973, and then again the merger of School Nurses with Public Health Nurses in 1983.

Series 6 contains the single photograph found, potentially of an association meeting in the 1950s. Series 7, Subject Files, holds all other miscellaneous materials that did not fit well in any of the above series.","Oversized materials from this collection are filed separately, as are the artifacts, two ink stamps with the association's name and address for envelopes and letterhead.","This collection holds the papers of Dorothy M. Hamm, a civil rights activist in Arlington, Virginia. However, almost the entire collection contains the papers she and her husband, E. Leslie Hamm, collected or created during their tenure serving their neighborhood citizens association, the John M. Langston Citizens Association for the High View Park/Hall's Hill neighborhood, a historically African-American community in Arlington.","Dorothy M. Hamm first became involved in civil rights in Arlington as a plaintiff in the civil suit filed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that successfully desegregated Arlington Public Schools. Dorothy and her husband filed in May 1956 to admit their son E. Leslie Hamm Jr. to Stratford Junior High, an all-white school. Due to the Hamm's efforts, plus other Arlingtonians, Clarissa Thompson, Michael Jones, Ronald Deskins, and Lance Newman became the first black students admitted to a white school in Arlington (Stratford Junior High) on February 2, 1959. Hamm's son gained admittance to the school seven months later. Afterward, Dorothy became involved in other civil rights activities to integrate interscholastic athletics and other extracurricular activities in Arlington County Schools, to eliminate the discriminatory pupil placement form, to desegregate Arlington theaters, eliminate the poll tax, and remove race designation from public forms and voting records. Additionally, Hamm wrote several plays to promote African-American history and culture in the area. Her play Our Heritage: Slavery to Freedom 1766-1976 became an official bicentennial event in 1976 in Arlington County. She also wrote Our Struggle for Equality-25 Years Ago in 1984 for Black History Month and A Woman Called Moses about Harriet Tubman, presented at the Northern Virginia Folk Life Festival in 1985.","Hamm was born in Caroline County, Virginia, in 1919 and grew up in Fairfax County. She attended Miner Teachers College in Washington, D.C. In the early 1940s, she started work as a file clerk for the Veterans Administration. She eventually worked as an administrative assistant in the Treasury Department, Bureau of Engraving, at the Pentagon. In 1963, she retired from government work in the Surgeon General's Office. She then served as an officer of elections in Arlington County for twenty-seven years. Hamm was a delegate to the county and state Democratic conventions in 1964. She also became one of the first African Americans elected to a political party in Arlington County, elected to represent the Woodlawn precinct for the Democratic Committee. During her political career, she served as the county assistant registrar, the chief election officer in the Woodlawn precinct, and chairwoman of community voter registration drives.","Hamm and her husband moved to the Hall's Hill/High View Park neighborhood around 1950 and built their own home at 1900 N Cameron Street. They quickly became involved in the community and were active in their neighborhood association, the John M. Langston Citizens Association. Each served on several committees and in leadership positions. Dorothy even served as president of the citizens association during the 1960s and 1970s. Her husband Leslie served as the community representative to the Arlington County neighborhood conservation program to improve streets, gutters, sidewalks, and curb appeal in the Hall's Hill/Highview Park neighborhood.","The John M. Langston Citizens Association precedes the Hamm family by a number of years. The citizens association was created in 1924 to provide services for the Hall's Hill Neighborhood. The neighborhood is bounded from the north by Lee Highway, on the east by Buchanan Street/Culpepper Street, on the west by George Mason Drive, and on the south by 16th Street/17th Road/17th Street. The neighborhood was settled by newly freed slaves just after the Civil War, making it one of the oldest African-American neighborhoods in Arlington. It was named Hall's Hill because the upper portion of the neighborhood originally was owned by William Marcey and Basil Hall. Hall sold much of his land to his freed slaves. The neighborhood was renamed High View Park in 1965 because of the spectacular view of Arlington County it offers. At the time, some residents thought the neighborhood was renamed to make it more palatable to prospective white residents.\nIn the 1800s, the neighborhood was relatively rural and simple. Residents had large gardens and raised hogs, chickens, and horses. Eventually, residents established their own stores and churches during the early 1900s. Until the 1950s, the neighborhood was separated on three sides from adjoining all-white neighborhoods by an 8-foot-high wooden fence, built by white homeowners whose houses backed up on lots in the Hall's Hill neighborhood. Despite being cut off from their surroundings and many county services during the early 20th century, the neighborhood developed its own fire station, community-wide events and celebrations, block parties, and even a community baseball team, known as the Virginia White Sox. Since the latter half of the 20th century, residents and the citizens' association fought to keep their neighborhood's character and space alive. Nearby Arlington Hospital and WETA-TV attempted to build medical offices and satellites in the neighborhood. White, middle-class residents starting buying homes in the neighborhood for the first time in the late 1970s due to the area's lower than average sale prices.","In 2018, the John M. Langston Citizens Association noted on its website that the neighborhood still maintained \"an identity as a strong black community, the High View Park is a neighborhood is better represented by more racial diversity as new residents moved into the neighborhood. These new and long term residents still work together to maintain the historical, cultural and aesthetic values of the High View Park Neighborhood.\" The association still works to promote civic spirit and participation and foster communication among residents and property owners, as well as to preserve, enhance, and promote general welfare and safety of the neighborhood.","In 1987, Dorothy Hamm moved back to Caroline County, Virginia. She died on May 14, 2004.","Related records include organizations Dorothy Hamm was involved with, including RG 44 League of Women Voters, RG 127 Arlington County Bicentennial Task Force (unprocessed as of July 2018), RG 165 Records of Northern Virginia Folk Festival Association (unprocessed as of July 2018). Others that might shed light on the desegregation civil suit include RG 7 Arlington County Public Schools, RG 48 NAACP Arlington Branch, and RG 69 Arlington County Public Schools Desegregation Materials. For additional records related to the John M. Langston Citizens Association, see RG 14 Records of Arlington County Civic Federation and PG 218 Ernest E Johnson Photographs, which includes photographs taken at the Langston Community Center in High View Park.","The materials in this collection have been created and managed by many different members of the John M. Langston Citizens Association. Dorothy Hamm and E. Leslie Hamm, Sr. were the last owners of the collection, both of whom were active members of the association since the early 1950s until the 1980s. As such, few items in the collection may be related to the other civic activities of Dorothy Hamm, such as Hamm's political and playwriting careers. However, since such materials are far and few between, and interwoven into the vast collection of Citizens Association materials, it is difficult to tell whether Hamm simply filed materials together or whether she promoted these activities in the Citizens Association.","The collection spans just over three linear feet and covers the years 1937 to 1977. The bulk of materials date from the late 1940s to late 1960s. Materials cover the activities of the John M. Langston Citizens Association, which promotes civic participation and represents residents' interests in the High View Park/Hall's Hill neighborhood in North Arlington. The collection features a large selection of meeting minutes, mostly from general meetings of the association. Some extant minutes from special committees, as well as the Colored Federation of Citizens' Associations of Arlington, of which the association was a member, remain. The collection also contains a large portion of financial records, which include reports, receipts, check stubs and money draft records, and lists of which members paid monthly dues. There are some membership applications and cards; however, the lists of monthly dues provide a better record of participants.","Files related to issues and initiatives the association tackled, which appear to mainly have been collected by the Dorothy and E. Leslie Hamm, comprise another large part of the collection. Most of these records relate to the Neighborhood Conservation program Arlington County started in the 1960s to help residents improve their neighborhoods through sidewalk, curb, and gutter installation; street, traffic and parking improvement; recreation enterprises, like parks and playgrounds; and other similar enterprises. The collection here provides excellent resources that capture the High View Park/Hall's Hill neighborhood's participation, and also contains reports and minutes E. Leslie Hamm collected attending meetings that relate to the activities of other neighborhoods in Arlington. Another rather large collection of these records relates to clean-up/beautification of High View Park/Hall's Hill that Dorothy Hamm spearheaded.","Other materials include one photograph, and correspondence and publications received by the association from other organizations in the County.","There are no restrictions.","Hamm, Dorothy M., 1919-2004","Hamm, E.

It was named Hall's Hill because the upper portion of the neighborhood originally was owned by William Marcey and Basil Hall. Hall sold much of his land to his freed slaves. The neighborhood was renamed High View Park in 1965 because of the spectacular view of Arlington County it offers. At the time, some residents thought the neighborhood was renamed to make it more palatable to prospective white residents.\nIn the 1800s, the neighborhood was relatively rural and simple. Residents had large gardens and raised hogs, chickens, and horses. Eventually, residents established their own stores and churches during the early 1900s. Until the 1950s, the neighborhood was separated on three sides from adjoining all-white neighborhoods by an 8-foot-high wooden fence, built by white homeowners whose houses backed up on lots in the Hall's Hill neighborhood. Despite being cut off from their surroundings and many county services during the early 20th century, the neighborhood developed its own fire station, community-wide events and celebrations, block parties, and even a community baseball team, known as the Virginia White Sox. Since the latter half of the 20th century, residents and the citizens' association fought to keep their neighborhood's character and space alive. Nearby Arlington Hospital and WETA-TV attempted to build medical offices and satellites in the neighborhood. White, middle-class residents starting buying homes in the neighborhood for the first time in the late 1970s due to the area's lower than average sale prices.","In 2018, the John M. Langston Citizens Association noted on its website that the neighborhood still maintained \"an identity as a strong black community, the High View Park is a neighborhood is better represented by more racial diversity as new residents moved into the neighborhood. These new and long term residents still work together to maintain the historical, cultural and aesthetic values of the High View Park Neighborhood.\" The association still works to promote civic spirit and participation and foster communication among residents and property owners, as well as to preserve, enhance, and promote general welfare and safety of the neighborhood.","In 1987, Dorothy Hamm moved back to Caroline County, Virginia. She died on May 14, 2004."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e Dorothy M.

The materials from the first donation and the second accretion were arranged into 21 series, either alphabetically or chronologically. Please note, files from the third accretion have not been folded in alphabetically. When possible, original file names from the third accretion have been preserved in quotes (\" \") and additions to titles from the archivist have been included in brackets ([ ]) where clarification was needed.","RG 111 is arranged by type of material (such as Newsletters) or subject (such as Property) within 21 series. Series 5 (Facilities), Series 6 (Financial), and Series 10 (Board of Directors Meetings) have been divided into several subseries by subject to allow the researcher to more efficiently find appropriate resources. Many of the meeting minutes acquired in the second accretion from 2017 (spanning late 1980s until 2017) contain copies of minutes, as well as agendas and supporting documents discussed in meetings, all arranged by meeting date. To preserve original order, the archivist kept these documents together, which can all be found in Subseries 2 of Series 10. Many meeting minutes prior to the late 1980s in this subseries do not contain supplemental materials and their accompanying agendas and treasurer's reports exist in Subseries 1 of Series 10 and Series 6, Subseries 1 respectively. Please note there is some overlap, as meeting minutes from the late 1980s through the mid-1990s were donated prior to the third accretion.","Most of the documents in files are arranged by chronological order, except for some meeting minutes, which are arranged in reverse chronological order, as they had been arranged by the AOEA.","During the late 1950s, Dr. Phoebe Hall Knipling, the supervisor of secondary science education for Arlington Public Schools (APS) started a summer science enrichment program that incorporated outdoor education for students. The program aimed to improve students' environmental awareness by providing hands-on science experience in nature. During the 1960s, students visited various public and private lands in Northern Virginia, but it became apparent a permanent location for the program would improve the experience. Open land in Arlington County was diminishing fast due to the county's soaring population, as well as increased urbanization and development.","In January 1967, Dr. Knipling located a 200-acre site in Fauquier County at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, but APS lacked the funds to purchase the land. In May 1967, Dr. Phoebe Knipling met with representatives of the Natural Sciences for Youth Foundation in Connecticut, who advocated community involvement to acquire the property. Dr. Knipling started, with the help of community representatives, including parents of APS students and five school staff members, the Arlington Outdoor Education Association (AOEA) as a volunteer-run nonprofit on July 3, 1967 to create an outdoor lab exclusively for APS student use. Mrs. Susan T. Baker became the first president. Others first involved included J. Fuller Groom, J. Frederick Abel, Shirley Jolkoviski, Harold Mack, Paul Nelson, Joseph Newlin, and Theodore Taylor. The group began accepting donations and organizing fundraisers to earn the funds necessary to purchase the land. On March 14, 1968, the group purchased the land from Mary Rose Striker, who agreed to sell the property for less than market value to the group. At Dr. Knipling's suggestion, the land became known both as Tahl which translates into Wonderful Valley and as Floraunaretum, meaning \"interaction of flora and fauna in an outdoor setting.\" APS students began to visit the land to observe the forces of nature firsthand and learn about ecosystems and biology, among other topics.","After Dr. Knipling retired in 1975, the AOEA board voted to rename the property the Phoebe Hall Knipling Outdoor Laboratory to honor her years of service to science education in Arlington County. The AOEA made the final mortgage payment for the property in November 1978, after a generous donation from Mr. Preston Carruthers. The Outdoor Lab, currently containing about 225 acres, features open fields, forests, wildlife, springs, a lake, as well as hiking trails, camping sites, a classroom, kitchen and dining facilities, observatory, and plant and animal identification areas. The land is reserved exclusively for APS student use. Though the lab is owned, maintained, and managed by the AOEA Board of Directors, APS creates and delivers all educational programs.","Researchers may find RG 7, Arlington County Public Schools, to have related materials. RG 163, Arlington County School Board Records, should also be consulted. See Series 3, file 64 \"Outdoor and Environmental Education (Outdoor Lab), 1967-1998.\" Papers of board member Valerie Kitchens can also be found in RG 348, Valerie Kitchens Papers.","This collection is approximately 10.75 linear ft. and spans 1947-2017, however the bulk date from 1968-1999. This collection includes the organizational records of the AOEA including financial records, meeting minutes, correspondence, AOEA newsletters and newspaper articles, fundraising materials, and the history of this impressive organization.","The Board of Directors meeting minutes (Series 10) and the AOEA newsletters (Series 11) serve as good resources that succinctly overview the activities of the AOEA and the Outdoor Lab. AOEA membership newsletters contain calendars of events, letters from Board Members (usually the President of the AOEA), announcements of upcoming events, descriptions of APS students' recent experiences at the Outdoor Lab, and other information related to operation of the Outdoor Lab. The minutes from Board of Directors monthly meetings contain descriptions of various reports members gave at meetings, including finances, public relations and membership, development and fundraising, facilities and maintenance, and often a Lab Report, which details student activities at the lab, including other operational information. Meeting minutes from the late 1980s to present often include supporting documents members received and evaluated at the meeting, including agendas, budgets, maps and surveys, written reports, as well as correspondence related to the meeting (see Arrangement and Description section below for more information).","Series 1 (Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws, and Procedures Manuals) contains the governing documents for the AOEA. Series 2 (Committees) houses documents and materials created by sub-committees of the AOEA Board of Directors, staff, and members, including facilities development, long-range planning, maintenance and development to aid in the operation of the Outdoor Lab. Many of these committees report to the entire board during Board of Directors Meetings (see series 10).","Series 3 (Correspondence) contains correspondence related to the operation of the AOEA. However, the correspondence dated prior to 1967 relates directly to Phoebe Knipling's educational and professional career. Correspondence from the late 1960s includes Phoebe Knipling's correspondence with various organizations and individuals asking for support to buy property for an outdoor lab for Arlington Public Schools.","Series 4 contains documents and materials that pertain to educational programming and curriculum at the Outdoor Lab. Series 5 (Facilities), subdivided into four subseries (Operation; Maintenance, Repairs, Inspections; Renovations and Construction; and \"Outdoor Lab Building\" Renovations 2006-2007) detail the upkeep and expansion of Outdoor Lab buildings. Series 6 contains the financial records of the AOEA and is also divided into several subseries based on subject and item type, including Budget and Treasurer's Reports; Banking and Tax Information; Fundraising, Grants, and Donations.","Materials related to the history of the AOEA, including documents related to the lab's 20th and 50th anniversaries, as well as biographical materials for Dr. Knipling and other AOEA staff members, can be found in Series 7 (History and Biography). Insurance policies can be found in Series 8 (Insurance). Series 9 holds membership and Board of Directors rosters, in addition to other documents related to volunteers and membership policies. Newspaper clippings can be located in Series 12 (Newspaper articles).","Series 13, originally named \"Office Files\" was renamed in 2017 \"Office and Staff Files.\" The original series only contained the files of board member Dorothy Knowlton, which included meeting minutes, personal notes, fundraising information, a Virginia forest stewardship plan and other materials related to the AOEA. Archivists moved additional staff files from Series 20 (subject files) and those obtained in a third accretion donated in 2017 to this series. Series 13 therefore serves as a space to preserve staff members' files that contain diverse materials that prevents them from fitting into a specific series, such as Facilities or Membership.","Deeds, leases, land appraisals and maps of AOEA land holdings are contained in Series 15 (Property). Series 16 (publicity) holds various marketing materials, including AOEA brochures, fliers, open house information and materials used by AOEA staff to promote the Outdoor Lab, including speeches and presentations.","Series 17 (Reading Files), contains correspondence organized by date covering a variety of topics, including membership, property, and surveys. This series sheds light on the early activities of the Outdoor Lab and the AOEA during the late 1960s and early 1970s.","The collection also includes an extensive amount of visual materials, including photographs (Series 14), scrapbooks (Series 18), and slides (Series 19). Photographs and scrapbooks often depict visitors to the Outdoor Lab, mostly students from APS, and events held at the Outdoor Lab. Other photos document construction work of various facilities on the property and plant and animal life visitors observed on their visit. Scrapbook 5 appears to have been put together by student photographers who visited the Outdoor Lab who documented their class's experience. Scrapbook 6 details the formation of the AOEA and depicts the 1978 Dedication Ceremony of the Outdoor Lab once the AOEA made its final mortgage payment. Most of the slides show students in the summer science enrichment program on field trips to various locations in Virginia, Washington D.C. and Maryland with Dr. Phoebe Knipling. They also include early images of the APS science fair other teaching materials Knipling probably used. However, others do show the Outdoor Lab.","Series 20 (Subject files) contains miscellaneous materials, including studies and reports, lists, forms, and the like that did not fit well in any of the above series. Series 21 contains materials related to the operation of the summer camp held at the Outdoor Lab.","There are several files in Series 5, Series 6, and Series 15 which contain confidential information such as Tax ID numbers, checking account numbers, and social security numbers. These numbers should be redacted before access to any patron not affiliated with the AOEA who normally has access to these identifiers.
