The collection includes correspondence, financial and legal papers, educational records, and other papers of the Pope family. Included are letters written during M. T. Pope's Spanish-American War service; letters of recommendation, 1892-1899, 1910, and 1914, for M. T. Pope from lawyers, bankers, and college administrators; letters in the 1920s, mostly relating to land in Northampton County; and letters about insurance, real estate, and other financial matters. Financial and legal papers relate to Jonas Elias Pope's land and taxes in Northampton County, N.C. Also included are his certificate of freedom, 1851, and a copy of his will. A few items relate to businesses M. T. Pope helped start or partially owned.

Since August 2017, we have added ethnic and racial identities for individuals and families represented in collections. To determine identity, we rely on self-identification; other information supplied to the repository by collection creators or sources; public records, press accounts, and secondary sources; and contextual information in the collection materials. Omissions of ethnic and racial identities in finding aids created or updated after August 2017 are an indication of insufficient information to make an educated guess or an individual's preference for identity information to be excluded from description. When we have misidentified, please let us know at wilsonlibrary@unc.edu.

Archivists have not removed racial terms "Negro" or "Colored" because we feel they provide important historical context about the materials and who created them and they facilitate the research process. We recognize that these terms also may cause harm and will periodically revisit our decision to include them.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Biographical Information

M. T. (Manassa Thomas) Pope, physician, businessman, and politician, was born near Rich Square in Northampton County, N.C., on 24 August 1858. Both of his parents were free people of color. Pope's father, Jonas Elias Pope (1827-1900?), was a carpenter, farmer, and landowner. Jonas Elias Pope remarried late in life and had another son, Jonas Elias Pope II, who was born in 1898 and died in 1977.

M. T. Pope went to Raleigh, N.C., in 1874 to attend Shaw University. He finished his undergraduate education in 1879 and then studied at the Leonard School of Medicine at Shaw, graduating in 1886 in its first class. On 23 February 1887, Pope married Lydia Walden, who died on 10 September 1906. Pope lived and worked for a few years in Henderson, N.C., before settling in Charlotte about 1890. In Charlotte, Pope not only practiced medicine but also was a very active businessman, helping to establish the Queen City Drug Company and the People's Benevolent and Relief Association of North Carolina, an insurance company.

During the Spanish-American War, M. T. Pope served as first lieutenant and assistant surgeon in the Third Regiment of North Carolina Volunteers, an all-black volunteer regiment. After mustering out in February 1899, Pope moved to Raleigh where he established his medical practice on East Hargett Street, and, in 1900, built a substantial brick residence at 511 South Wilmington Street.

After the white supremacy campaigns of 1898 and 1900 and the passage of the suffrage amendment to the North Carolina Constitution in 1900, Pope was one of only seven men of color in the entire city of Raleigh to be eligible to vote and one of only 31 in Wake County. His political activity reached a high point in the April 1919 primary, when he ran for mayor of Raleigh at the head of a non-partisan African American slate of candidates along with Calvin Lightner (whose son, Clarence Lightner, became the first black mayor of Raleigh in 1973) and J. Cheek.

In 1907, M. T. Pope married Delia Haywood Phillips, who was born in 1880 and thus was 22 years his junior. To the couple two daughters were born: Evelyn Bennett Pope in 1908 and Ruth Permelia Pope in 1910. Both daughters received degrees from Shaw University and both went on to earn Master's degrees from Columbia University in New York, Evelyn in library service and Ruth in home economics. Evelyn also earned a Bachelor's degree in library science from the Hampton Institute.

M. T. Pope died in 1934 at the age of 76, and his wife followed him in 1955. Evelyn was by then on the faculty of the School of Library Science at North Carolina College at Durham (now North Carolina Central University), and Ruth was a home economics teacher in Chapel Hill. The two sisters, neither of whom married, kept up the family home in Raleigh and retired there in the 1970s. Evelyn died in 1995 and Ruth in October 2000.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Scope and Content

The collection includes correspondence, financial and legal papers, educational records, and other papers of the Pope family, an African American family of North Carolina. Letters of Jonas Elias Pope, a man of color who was free before the Civil War; M. T. Pope, physician, businessman, and politician; Delia H. Pope, who taught school and was trained in the Madame C. J. Walker method of scientific hairdressing; Evelyn Bennett Pope, professor of library science at North Carolina College (now North Carolina Central University); and Ruth Permelia Pope, a teacher of home economics in Chapel Hill, N.C.; are arranged in chronological order, with a few groups of letters filed by subject at the end of the series. Whereas the majority of the correspondence was received without order, these groups of letters were bundled together or otherwise segregated from the general correspondence.

Included are letters written during Pope's service in the Third Regiment of North Carolina Volunteers during the Spanish-American War; a letter from George H. White, a member of the United States House of Representatives, about his effort to keep the Third North Carolina in the service; letters, 1921-1934, between M. T. Pope and officials of the United States Bureau of Pensions about his pension for military service; letters of recommendation, 1892-1899, 1910, and 1914, from various lawyers, bankers, and college administrators in Henderson, Raleigh, and Charlotte; letters in the 1920s mostly having to do with land in Northampton County, N.C.; and letters about home and automobile insurance, real estate transactions, and other financial matters.

The earliest financial and legal papers are papers of Jonas Elias Pope, mostly relating to land and taxes in Northampton County, N.C. Included is Jonas Elias Pope's certificate of freedom, 1851. Also included is a copy of Jonas Elias Pope's will. A few items relate to businesses M. T. Pope helped start or partially owned. Many papers relate to property and real estate transactions in Raleigh, N.C. Papers relating to property and income taxes; insurance for homes, automobiles, health, and life; stock owned; bank accounts; utility payments; and hospital bills are also included.

Other papers include educational records, biographical information, diplomas and certificates, clippings, notebooks, autograph books, and other materials of Pope family members. Financial and legal papers relating to the death and estate of M. T. Pope and Delia H. Pope were mixed with other material, such as funeral programs and obituaries, and are filed in Series 3. Other Papers rather than in Series 2. Financial and Legal Papers. Also included are few scattered publications of the First Baptist Church in Raleigh, the National Medical Association, and the People's Benevolent and Relief Association, as well as a funeral program for Jonas Elias Pope II, a certificate of appointment of James Walden as 1st Sergeant in Company E of the 2nd Regiment of United States Colored Cavalry, 1 August 1865, and stationery.

The Addition of May 2012 consists of information about the life and death of Ruth Permelia Pope, including a resume, an autobiographical essay, photographs of a birthday celebration, and homecoming materials; a photograph of Dr. Manassa Pope with his regiment from the Spanish American War and a copy of his death certificate; materials related to the preservation and promotion of Pope House as a historic site and cultural institution; and library science articles about African American bibliography by Evelyn B. Pope and other articles. The addition also includes a videotape produced by the Pope House Museum, titled An American Story.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Series 1. Correspondence, 1896-1983.

About 400 items.

Arrangement: chronological.

Letters of Jonas Elias Pope, M. T. Pope, Delia H. Pope, Evelyn Bennett Pope, and Ruth Permelia Pope. The letters are arranged in chronological order, with a few groups of letters filed by subject at the end of the series. Whereas the majority of the correspondence was received without order, these groups of letters were bundled together or otherwise segregated from the general correspondence.

The earliest letters are addressed to M. T. Pope in Charlotte, N.C. A letter, 17 February 1896, from Jonas Elias Pope describes an accident he had in his buggy and also his intention to marry. A letter to M. T. Pope from a cousin who was living with Jonas Elias Pope also mentions Jonas's desire to marry because "...there must be some more Popes that his son is not doing anything for the country." Three letters were written during M. T. Pope's service in the Third Regiment of North Carolina Volunteers during the Spanish-Amercian War. One of these requests a report from Pope; one from Pope to the chief surgeon, Department of the Gulf, is a form letter, giving his "Personal Report of station and duty for the month of July 1898"; and the other is Pope's report on a soldier who was shot by a fellow soldier. A letter, 2 January 1899, from George H. White, a member of the United States House of Representatives, to Pope in Raleigh, N.C., says that White had seen the president and the adjutant general of the War Department in an effort to keep the Third North Carolina in the service.

Letters, 1921-1934, between M. T. Pope and officials of the United States Bureau of Pensions about his pension for military service are filed at the end of the series. There are also letters to and from Edward W. Pou, United States Representative from North Carolina, about his assistance to Pope with regard to the pension. In a letter in November 1934, Delia H. Pope informed the Bureau of Pensions of M. T. Pope's death and requested a form to apply for a pension as his widow. A few additional letters relate to the widow's pension.

A few letters of recommendation, 1910 and 1914, including one from the mayor of Raleigh about M. T. Pope's driving, are filed chronologically. About 20 letters, 1891-1898, of introduction or recommendation from various lawyers, bankers, and college administrators in Henderson, Raleigh, and Charlotte, are filed in a group at the end of the series. These letters emphasize M. T. Pope's character, intelligence, and reliability. There are letters from H. M. Tupper, president of Shaw University; Andrew J. Harris, mayor of Henderson, N.C.; E. B. Springs, mayor of Charlotte, N.C.; J. H. Wade, president of the Merchants & Farmers National Bank in Charlotte; and others.

Letters in the 1920s mostly have to do with land in Northampton County, N.C. In the 1920s and following decades, there are letters about home and automobile insurance, real estate transactions, and other financial matters. Nearly all of the letters in the 1950s-1980s deal with property and insurance. Filed at the end of the series is correspondence between M. T. Pope and, after his death, Delia H. Pope, and William H. Wannamaker about a debt owed to Mrs. Wannamaker by the Popes. Mrs. Wannamaker had inherited a mortgage from J. P. Brawley on a 43-acre farm on Walnut Creek in Wake County, N.C. Related material may be found in Series 2. Financial and Legal Papers.

Letters in the 1930s include letters to Ruth Permelia Pope from her father, her mother, and William (apparently a friend from Shaw University), giving news of family and friends, and from officials of Columbia University about her application and matriculation at Teachers College. There are letters to Evelyn Bennett Pope about professional matters.

Most of the letters in the 1940s are to Ruth Permelia Pope, including several from her mother. Two letters to Delia H. Pope from Eula in Detroit give news of friends.

A folder of letters, 1907-1916, relate to alleged sexual misconduct of M. D. Bowen of Shaw University and M. T. Pope's displeasure with the lack of action against Bowen by Charles Meserve, president of Shaw.
