- BEHI-P013-S15 — Unreceived contributor fee — follow-up request
NAACP Records, General Office File, Box IIA449, Negro Digest, folder 3; supplied 91-page PDF; PDF p. 69
The secretary to Walter White says the check for “Why I Remain a Negro” has not been received and asks when to expect it. No amount or later settlement is established here. The original date is February 17, not February 27. This qualifies any blanket assertion that all contributor payments were prompt.
