Abstract | Daniel Hubbard Pollitt (1921-2010) was a white law professor, civil liberties lawyer, and activist for civil rights and other progressive causes. The collection documents Daniel H. Pollitt's legal career and his scholarly and public service interests and activities. The bulk of the collection consists of Pollitt's subject files. Major topics include ABSCAM and other congressional ethics controversies; amnesty for draft dodgers and deserters; planning a law school with a focus on public service; civil rights, especially school desegregration and employment discrimination; the death penalty in North Carolina; government employee strikes; self-incrimination and the House Un-American Activities Committee, especially with regard to Lillian Hellman and Arthur Miller; Hobby v. United States, a case about grand jury foreman selection that Pollitt argued before the United States Supreme Court; impeachment; labor, especially the reorganization of the National Labor Relations Board, migrant workers, and the Brookside Mine Strike in Harlan County, Ky.; the North Carolina speaker ban; and Supreme Court nominations. Numerous other topics are covered in these files, many of which concern narrower aspects of constitutional law, such as separation of church and state and search and seizure. Subject files also document long collaborations with a number of legal scholars, civil liberties attorneys, and government officials, including Congressman Frank Thompson, as well as Pollitt's work with academic associations, government agencies, and civil liberties and civil rights groups, and his teaching career and his service to the University of North Carolina. Other smaller series in the collection include Biographical Materials; Correspondence and People Files, which refer to legal cases, writings, and career activities and developments of Pollitt and others, including Joseph L. Rauh Jr., Henry Edgerton, and H.L. Mitchell; Writings, which overlap considerably with the Subject Files; and Photographs, which are chiefly of Pollitt. |

Daniel Hubbard Pollitt (1921-2010) was a white law professor, civil liberties lawyer, and activist for civil rights and other progressive causes. He was born in Washington, D.C., in 1921 to Mima Riddiford and Basil Hubbard Pollitt. Both parents were lawyers in the New Deal administration of President Franklin Roosevelt and committed to principles of social justice. In 1939, Pollitt set off to college at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Conn., where he earned a bachelor of arts degree in government. In 1943, he joined the United States Marine Corps and served as an infantry officer in the Pacific theater during World War II. After the war ended, Pollitt studied law at Cornell University, earning a LL.B. degree and graduating with honors in 1949.
Pollitt worked for a year in the private law firm of McFarland and Sellers, followed by another year as law clerk to Judge Henry W. Edgerton of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. From 1951 to 1955, he became associated with a Washington, D.C., law firm headed by two New Deal Democratic progressives, Joseph L. Rauh Jr. and John Silard. Working in this firm as a junior attorney during the McCarthy era, Pollitt gained experience in constitutional law cases as he assisted in the representation of controversial figures accused of subversive activities, including the playwrights Lillian Hellman and Arthur Miller, who had been called to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) concerning their perceived Communist associations.
Eventually, Pollitt was drawn to teach law, and in 1955 joined the faculty at the University of Arkansas School of Law. However, two years later, all professors were required to sign oaths dismissing any membership to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), as well as communist organizations. Pollitt refused on the basis of infringment of First Amendment principles, and thus resigned from his position.
In 1957, Pollitt joined the faculty at the University of North Carolina School of Law (UNC) as a constitutional and labor law professor. He was recognized as a committed teacher and mentor to his students and a well-respected member of the University faculty. He served as a member and chair of the University of North Carolina Faculty Council and chair of the Faculty Advisory Committee to the chancellor, among many positions of leadership. Pollitt was instrumental in shaping the University's arguments against the Speaker Ban in 1963. In recognition of his service and contributions to the University, he received the Thomas Jefferson Award and the Order of the Golden Fleece.
While at the University of North Carolina, he became involved in various extracurricular activities regarding civil rights, civil liberties, and labor matters. He fought for the racial integration of schools and establishments in Chapel Hill and throughout North Carolina by way of his contributions to legal cases as well as his scholarly writings and frequent community speaking engagements. He served in leadership roles for a multitude of liberal and progressive organizations on campus and off, including the American Civil Liberties Union and the North Carolina Civil Liberties Union; the American Association of University Professors (AAUP); National Sharecroppers Fund/Rural Advancement Fund/Rural Advancement Foundation International (NSF/RAF and RAFI-USA); American Friends Service Committee; the Southern Regional Council; Citizens Inquiry into Brookside Strike; Southerners for Economic Justice; and the North Carolina Labor Law Center.
Throughout his teaching career, Pollitt continued his association with Rauh and Silard in Washington, D.C., working nearly every summer on civil rights, civil liberties, and labor cases. Pollitt also worked closely with several members of Congress, especially Frank Thompson of New Jersey and Charlie Rose of North Carolina, on policy positions and legislation, often on labor topics such as alternative resolutions to national emergency labor disputes. He served as counsel to Frank Thompson and other congressmen who were caught up in ABSCAM, beginning a long and sustained interest in congressional ethics. He also consulted for several government agencies and commissions, including the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders (Kerner Commission); the National Labor Relations Board; House Committee on Education and Labor and its Subcommittee on Labor-Management Relations; and the "Quiet Brain Trust," a group of scholars organized by Eric Goldman to advise President Lyndon Johnson on domestic problems. Pollitt argued one case, Hobby v. United States, before the United States Supreme Court.
Pollitt retired from teaching in 1992, but remained prolific in his research, writing, and activism. He continued to publish on topics such as free speech, student rights, impeachment, war, Supreme Court justices, and civil liberties in times of crisis. He was particularly active in his work for and writings about inmates facing the death penalty. He received a number of lifetime achievement awards, including the Order of the Long-Leaf Pine, the North Carolina Civil Liberties Union Frank Porter Graham and Finlator Awards, and the Robert Seymour Award from People of Faith Against the Death Penalty.
In 1951, Pollitt married Jean Ann Rutledge, the daughter of Supreme Court Justice Wiley B. Rutledge and Annabel Person Rutledge. He and his wife of 55 years had three children: Daniel, Phoebe, and Susan. Widowed in 2006, he married Ellie Kinnaird in 2009. Daniel Pollitt died 5 March 2010 in Chapel Hill, N.C.
Back to TopThe Daniel H. Pollitt Papers document the legal career and scholarly and public service interests and activities of a white law professor, civil liberties lawyer, and activist for civil rights and other progressive causes. The bulk of the collection consists of Pollitt's subject files. Major topics in this series include ABSCAM and other congressional ethics controversies; amnesty for draft dodgers and deserters; Pollitt's dream of creating a law school with a focus on public service, "Big Rock Candy Mountain"; civil rights, especially voting rights, employment discrimination, presidential authority with regard to race relations, and school segregation for Native American students in Dunn, N.C.; the death penalty in North Carolina; government employee strikes, especially collective bargaining issues for health care, postal services, and air traffic control; self-incrimination and the House Un-American Activities Committee, especially with regard to Lillian Hellman and Arthur Miller; Hobby v. United States, a case about grand jury foreman selection that Pollitt argued before the United States Supreme Court; impeachment; labor, especially reorganization of the National Labor Relations Board, migrant workers, and the Brookside Mine Strike in Harlan County, Ky.; the North Carolina speaker ban; and Supreme Court nominations. Nearly all of these subject files concern applications of constitutional law in some way or another, but Pollitt also kept a series of smaller files on narrower constitutional law topics, including separation of church and state, especially school prayer and school vouchers; civil rights, especially school integration in Chapel Hill, N.C.; freedom of association; student rights, especially with regard to protests and free speech; presidential civil immunity; public accommodation laws; redistricting; and search and seizure, especially for drug raids and school campuses.
Subject Files also document long collaborations with a number of legal scholars, civil liberties attorneys, and government officials, including Congressman Frank Thompson, as well as Pollitt's work with the American Association of University Professors, the American Civil Liberties Union, Association of American Law Schools, National Sharecroppers Fund (NSF)/Rural Advancement Fund (RAF)/Rural Advancement Fund International (RAFI-USA), the North Carolina Civil Liberties Union, the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, the North Carolina Labor Law Center, the National Labor Relations Board, and President Lyndon B. Johnson's "Quiet Brain Trust," among others. There are also materials documenting Pollitt's teaching career and his service to the University of North Carolina, including his work on the Faculty Council, the Faculty Advisory Committee to the Chancellor, and the ad hoc committee on athletics and the University.
There are four other smaller series in the collection. The Biographical Materials series includes speeches, notes for talks, essays, letters to the editor, and related correspondence; clippings that are biographical and topical in nature; curriculum vita; calendars; correspondence and employment forms relating to military service and university and government appointments throughout his career; and thank you notes and letters received in acknowledgment of awards received. The Correspondence and People Files series refers to legal cases, writings, and career activities and developments of Pollitt and others, including Joseph L. Rauh Jr., Henry Edgerton, and H.L. Mitchell. There are also nominations and memorials written by Pollitt for his correspondents. The Writings series, which overlaps considerably with the Subject Files series, consists of drafts and published copies of Pollitt's writings. Major topics include academic freedom, free speech, the Fifth Amendment, government powers, labor, and civil liberties. There are many more topics represented, though typically in briefer formats, such as opinion essays and letters to the editor. The Photographs series includes portraits and snapshots of Pollitt with family, at work with colleagues, and with students, and signed portraits of Judge Henry Edgerton and Joseph L. Rauh Jr.

Arrangement: alphabetical.
Subject files documenting Daniel H. Pollitt's legal career and his scholarly and public service interests and activities. Topics include ABSCAM and other congressional ethics controversies; amnesty for draft dodgers and deserters; Pollitt's dream of creating a law school with a focus on public service, "Big Rock Candy Mountain"; civil rights, especially segregated schools for Native American students in Dunn, N.C., employment discrimination, and presidential authority with regard to race relations; the death penalty in North Carolina; government employee strikes, especially collective bargaining issues for health care, postal services, and air traffic control; self-incrimination and the House Un-American Activities Committee, especially with regard to Lillian Hellman and Arthur Miller; Hobby v. United States, a case about grand jury foreman selection that Pollitt argued before the United States Supreme Court; impeachment; labor, especially reorganization of the National Labor Relations Board, migrant workers, and the Brookside Mine Strike in Harlan County, Ky.; the North Carolina speaker ban; and Supreme Court nominations. Nearly all of these subject files concern applications of constitutional law in some way or another, but Pollitt also kept a series of smaller files on narrower constitutional law topics, including separation of church and state, especially school prayer and school vouchers; civil rights, especially school integration in Chapel Hill, N.C.; freedom of association; student rights, especially with regard to protests and free speech; presidential civil immunity; public accommodation laws; redistricting; and search and seizure, especially for drug raids and school campuses.
Subject files also document long partnerships with a number of legal scholars, civil liberties attorneys, and government officials, including Congressman Frank Thompson, as well as Pollitt's service on the board of directors or in other administrative capacities for a number of organizations, including the American Association of University Professors, the American Civil Liberties Union, Association of American Law Schools, National Sharecroppers Fund (NSF)/Rural Advancement Fund (RAF)/Rural Advancement Fund International (RAFI-USA), North Carolina Civil Liberties Union, and Southerners for Economic Justice. He also consulted on a number of government commissions, including the National Advisory Comission on Civil Disorders, the North Carolina Labor Law Center and the National Labor Relations Board, and for the "Quiet Brain Trust" a select group of scholars organized by Eric Goldman, special assistant to President Lyndon B. Johnson, and charged with generating "new and imaginative ideas for the benefit of Government." There are also materials documenting Pollitt's teaching career and his service to the University of North Carolina, including his constitutional and labor law classes, his work on the Faculty Council, the Faculty Advisory Committee to the Chancellor, the ad hoc committee on athletics and the university, and other committees.
Many of these subject files contain writings, correspondence, or notes that reflect Pollitt's thinking on a particular topic, but some consist only of court documents, clippings, printed material, or writings by others that he collected.
