Chip Logan's Civil Rights Archive

LOGAN'S RUN: The American Civil Rights Collection of Chip Logan

"The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education."
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

Son of civil rights activists Marian Bruce Logan and Dr. Arthur Logan, Warren Arthur ‘Chip’ Logan grew up amongst some of the most powerful figures of the movement. Putting her career as a cabaret singer on hold, Marian dedicated herself wholeheartedly to the cause, becoming the only northern board member of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and Martin Luther King, Jr.’s ‘right arm’ in the New York area. Her importance to King takes center stage in this collection. Beyond their connection to the Kings, the Logans were also close to several other prominent African-American leaders of the day, including Jackie Robinson and his wife Rachel. When Chip was baptized—by none other than Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King—Rachel stood by his side as his godmother, while influential guests such as jazz composer Billy Strayhorn joined in prayer.

From the crucial 1963 March on Washington, to the inner workings of the SCLC, to an assortment of materials related to Jackie Robinson and his historic induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame, this is a truly incredible collection that offers a seldom-seen behind-the-scenes glimpse into some of the most important events in American history.

About Our Collection:

While the autographic material is clearly scarce and sought-after, the printed and photographic material is also exceptionally desirable. Many of these pieces are one-of-a-kind or so limited that they exist only in private hands or restricted archives, making this a rare opportunity for collectors and institutions alike to obtain first-hand materials from the civil rights movement.
