[0265] Dr. Kate Bell Collection, 1952-1958, MSS.0098
Location: Houston Metropolitan Research Center, Houston Public Library, 500 McKinney, Houston, Texas 77002
Description: Dr. Kate Bell was a teacher with the Houston Independent School District (HISD) and president of the Texas State Teachers Association in 1953. Dr. George Ebey was hired by HISD as deputy superintendent in 1952 but was fired the following year by the school board on the grounds that, although there was no evidence that Ebey was himself a Communist, he had worked with known subversives. Bell supported Ebey; the Minute Women, a right-wing anti-Communist pressure group, supported the school board's actions. The collection includes brochures, statements, correspondence, photographs, and newspaper clippings.
