Emerson Emory Papers

The Emerson Emory Papers are comprised of material created and/or collected by Emerson Emory (1925-2003) over the course of his personal life, his career as a physician, and his time in the military. The material documents Emory’s life, mostly through his own personal accounts. As a prominent African-American active in medical, community, and political affairs in the Dallas area, Dr. Emory’s papers provide tremendous insight into the African-American experience of living in Dallas, serving in military, World War II, Vietnam, and in the Navy Reserves, experiences as a doctor, and advocacy for civil rights and justice for minorities.
