J. Raymond Jones, also known as the "Harlem Fox", was a Democratic Party district leader from the Carver Democratic Club on 145th Street, and one of the most powerful political leaders in New York City. From 1964 to 1968, he was chief of Tammany Hall, a position to which he was elected by his peers in the New York City Democratic Party, and the only African American to hold that position. Among Jones's many protégés in the Carver Club were former Judge Constance Baker Motley, Congressman Charles Rangel, and former Mayor David Dinkins. Articles in the collection discuss these relationships. The J. Raymond Jones Collection consists primarily of news clippings (1962-1989) related to Jones's activities and achievements, most notably on the occasion of a dinner given in his honor in 1962, and the publication of his biography by John C. Walter in 1989. Jones's relationships with Motley, Rangel, and Dinkins are discussed in the clippings. There is also an incomplete copy of the manuscript of his biography, The Harlem Fox; several letters, including from Charles Rangel (1987) and David Dinkins (1986); and material related to the Jones-Holloway-Bryan Foundation, which Jones established in 1985 to raise money for the College of the Virgin Islands. less
