Biographical Note / Administrative History

Administrative History

The 182nd General Assembly of the UPCUSA established the Emergency Fund for Legal Aid for Racial and Intercultural Justice (EFLA; later shortened to Fund for Legal Aid) in 1970. The Division of Church and Race (Council on Church and Race) of the Board of National Missions administered EFLA, with daily administrative work assigned to staff of the Mission Service Unit on Church and Race of the Program Agency. The Program Agency's Ministries of Health, Education, and Social Justice (Unit II) later administered EFLA through its Program Area on Racial Justice and Mission Development (in liaison with the Associate for Justice Systems Issues). Eventually, the Racial Justice Section of the Racial Ethnic Ministry Unit of the PC(USA) administered EFLA. EFLA administrators included J. Oscar McCloud, Wilbur K. Cox, J. Philip Park (administrator from 1973 to 1979), Kathy Lancaster (née Young; Lancaster was also Associate for Justice System Issues), and Otis Turner. Attorney Thomas F. Luce served as legal advisor to EFLA starting in 1972.

EFLA's main purpose was to provide financial grants to persons and groups engaged in litigation, research, and action in the field of equal justice. It concentrated its resources on those situations and cases where racial prejudice and discrimination combined with poverty and economic need to limit equal justice under law. Major guidelines for EFLA included: accepting applications for legal aid in both criminal and civil cases in which racial justice could be enhanced through the legal system; giving preference to cases where there was an inadequate source of funds; and concentrating on cases which reveal areas of systemic or structural inequality, particularly regarding issues of the pre-trial release system and bail, the jury selection process, legal defense mechanisms within minority communities, and legal rights of prisoners. EFLA updated its guidelines after the 193rd General Assembly (1981) to define case preferences, including: cases of class action litigation to achieve racial and ethnic minority rights; criminal cases with evidence of institutional discrimination; and civil actions to correct discriminatory situations.

EFLA accepted applications in any form, sharing them with UPCUSA and PC(USA) judicatories (synods and presbyteries) in which the project or case was located. Judicatories assisted in reviewing the cases, either recommending or not recommending EFLA funds to be used. EFLA staff accepted applications from individuals, church entities, and secular organizations. Additionally, legal advisors to the staff reviewed cases. If a synod or presbytery disagreed with making a grant to a case, the Program Agency Board made the final decision. One of EFLA's earliest grants was to the Angela Davis Legal Defense Fund (case number 12) in 1971. Other grants were made to Leonard Peltier, Native American activist and American Indian Movement (AIM) member (case number 126), in 1973 and to The Southern Poverty Law Center in support of Engedaw Berhanu's wrongful death and racial intimidation suit against White Aryan Resistance (WAR) founder Tom Metzger (case 399) in 1990.

Collection Overview

[Please note: Some materials within this collection contain graphic images and descriptions of violence, human rights violations, and hate crimes.]

This collection chiefly contains case files maintained by administrators and staff overseeing the Emergency Fund for Legal Aid for Racial and Intercultural Justice (EFLA) of the UPCUSA and PC(USA). Additionally, there are records that were maintained separately by EFLA administrator Kathy Lancaster.

The Case Files series, 1969-1998, consists of numerically arranged files pertaining to specific cases submitted to EFLA for funding and grant consideration. Materials within individual case files include correspondence (usually with applicants, church judicatories, and legal advisors); case summaries created by EFLA staff; financial records (chiefly disbursement vouchers of funds and grants sent to case applicants); background information on cases (mostly newspaper clippings and other printed ephemera); and legal documents, which include but are not limited to: briefs, motions, petitions, testimonies, progress reports, memoranda, indictments, dockets, and civil actions. Disbursement vouchers are often made out to presbyteries and synods involved in the review of a particular case but sometimes to external organizations, and correspondence generally shows the decision-making processes of EFLA staff, church judicatories, and legal advisors when considering funding a case. While most cases were approved for funding, some cases were rejected.

The Kathy Lancaster Files series, 1970-1993, consists of a separate set of records maintained by EFLA administrator Kathy Lancaster (née Young). Materials pertain chiefly to Lancaster's work on EFLA cases and include correspondence, summaries, reports, and statistics. There are also general inquiries sent to EFLA staff, EFLA guidelines and procedures, and other items documenting EFLA grants and the program's history.
