Summary:

The National Association of Coloured Graduate Nurses (NACGN) was organized in 1908 by a group of fifty-two graduate nurses. Martha Franklin in Connecticut, a graduate of the school of nursing of the Woman's Hospital of Philadelphia, spearheaded the development of the organization. The goals of the new organization were to achieve higher professional standards, to break down discriminatory practices facing black nurses, and to develop leadership. The records of the NACGN document the organization and development of the Association and its eventual dissolution. The materials have been divided into the following eight sections: 1) Minutes, 2) Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation, 3) Correspondence, 4) Memoranda, 5) Speeches and Testimony, 6) Studies and Reports, 7) Publications of the NACGN, and 8) Printed Material
