Biographical Information
Journalist and historian Taylor Branch has written several books, including three volumes on Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights movement of the 1960s: Parting the Waters : America in the King Years, 1954-63 (1988), Pillar of Fire : America in the King Years, 1963-65 (1998), and At Canaan's Edge : America in the King Years, 1965-68 (2006). He also wrote The Clinton Tapes: Wrestling History with the President (2009), which was based on interviews conducted by Branch with President Bill Clinton during and after his presidency. Branch was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for History in 1989 and a MacArthur Foundation "genius grant" in 1991 in recognition for his achievements as a historian.
A native of Atlanta, Branch was raised in a middle-class white family and became interested in race relations during his high school years. He has commented that television images of police brutality directed against demonstrators in Birmingham in 1963 shocked him and motivated him to become involved in the civil rights movement. He attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which was integrated while he was a student there, and completed a degree in American history in 1968. He became involved in political activism while in college. He was one of the leaders of the Georgia Loyal National Democrats, an organization that challenged the seating of the Georgia delegation to the 1968 national Democratic Party convention on the grounds that it was not properly elected and blacks were underrepresented among its members. The organization succeeded in claiming half of the seats allotted to the Georgia delegation.
Branch pursued graduate study in international economics, with additional study in religion and philosophy, at Princeton University. To fulfill a policy-writing requirement of his master's degree program, Branch traveled to predominantly African American communities in rural Georgia to assist blacks in registering to vote during the summer of 1969 and documented his experiences. He developed his documentation into an article published by Washington Monthly, of which he became editor in 1971. He continued in that position until 1973 and remains affiliated with the publication as a contributing editor. He has also written for Harper's and Esquire magazines and has written or co-written several books in addition to his work on King and civil rights. These include a novel entitled The Empire Blues (1981). He advised President Bill Clinton on race-related issues, taught at Goucher College in Maryland, and frequently speaks at public events.
Branch resides with his family in the Baltimore area.

Series 4. Subject Files, 1865-2005
(bulk 1958-2005) and undated.
Chronological and alphabetical runs of files compiled and used by Branch when writing his books on King and the civil rights movement. Also included are Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) files and material related to the court case Branch v. FBI .
Chronological subject files include information relevant to particular years, months, or days and social justice events of each time period. Older materials in these files are mostly photocopies of newspaper articles; other files contain transcriptions, clippings, speeches, FBI information, notes, and copies of correspondence. Alphabetical subject files include information related to particular individuals, groups, events, cities, and other topics, particularly as they related to the civil rights movement or King. Materials are clippings, notes, microfilm printouts, interview transcripts, copies of speeches and letters, and committee reports from the federal government.
Individuals important in the subject files include John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Malcolm X. Files related to Lyndon B. Johnson include information about his programs and staff members; among the materials are oral history transcripts. Files specifically concerning King include information about his early life and particular events in his career as a civil rights leader. Groups important in these files include both African American and white church organizations, such as the National Council of Churches; the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and its leaders; and Muslims, particularly the Nation of Islam and its relationship to the civil rights movement. Subject files also include information about the Vietnam War, particularly anti-war groups. Information related to scenes of considerable civil rights activity, such as Birmingham, Ala., Selma, Ala., and Mississippi, is also included.
Subject files related to the FBI include information about J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI's wiretapping of King. There are also FBI files that Branch acquired from the agency about individuals, among them Eva Childs, Jack Childs, and Morris Childs, FBI informants who infiltrated Communist organizations, and Gary Thomas Rowe, informant who reported on the Ku Klux Klan. There are also materials relating to the Branch v. FBI court case. While working on Parting the Waters, Branch tried to acquire FBI files through the Freedom of Information and Privacy Act (FOI/PA). After experiencing difficulties acquiring FBI files on Stanley Levison, Branch filed suit. Levison's previous Communist ties and his relationship to King are considered by some to be the FBI's justification for wiretapping King.
Also included are files Branch acquired from the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library. These include transcriptions and notes from Johnson's telephone conversations and office files of Mildred Stegall, a member of Johnson's staff whose duties included working as a liaison with the FBI. These files concern Communism, civil rights, Martin Luther King, race relations, and SNCC's Stokely Carmichael.
Note that original file folder titles have, for the most part, been retained.
