May 17, 2013--The University of Delaware Library open a new research collection, The Littleton and
Jane Mitchell papers, which are accessible in Special Collections on the
second floor of the Morris Library. The Littleton and Jane Mitchell papers consist of 47 boxes in a
collection that will help University of Delaware students, faculty,
citizens of Delaware and other scholars from around the world understand
the history of civil rights in Delaware, and the contributions of “Lit”
and Jane Mitchell to many aspects of community, career and political
service in the state. The papers also display activities of Littleton Mitchell as a
member of the Tuskegee Airmen, his three-decades-long leadership of the
Delaware NAACP, his career as a teacher and counselor at Governor Bacon
Health Center in Delaware City, and his involvement in several other
local and national organizations. Also displayed are items representing
the career of Lit’s wife, Jane Mitchell, one of Delaware’s first
African-American nurses and former director of nursing at the Delaware
State Hospital.
