The Carnegie-Myrdal Study of the Negro in America, also known as the "Carnegie-Myrdal Research Memoranda" is a comprehensive study of African Americans researched by a team of African American and white social scientists. The study was sponsored by the Carnegie Corporation in 1939, for the purpose of providing the background for Gunnar Myrdal's book, An American Dilemma (New York: Harper and Brother Publisher, 1944). The collection consists of six items relating to the Carnegie-Myrdal study, "The Negro in America." Included are Gunnar Myrdal's draft of his preface to the first edition of the book, An American Dilemma (1941); a letter from Walter White (1940) to Attorney Carol Weis King requesting her participation in the study; Ms. King's response; and her completed questionnaire. less
