Clement L. Browne worked in the Personnel Office of the American Car Foundry in Brooklyn, New York, from the 1920s until his retirement in 1970. After completing his high school education, he attended a training school in New York to study drafting, but did not complete the curriculum. He also wrote poetry. The Clement L. Browne literary collection consists of manuscripts, some handwritten, and mimeographed copies of poems written by Browne. Some poems concern civil rights, but most are personal in nature. The poems are unpublished. Poem titles include "Musing" and "Conceit". Also included are a photograph of Browne, presumably, with another man; a letter from Marian Anderson; and a newsletter from the Brevard Poetry Club.
