Little-Known NAACP Worker Anchors Civil Rights Drive
James Marlow profiles Clarence Mitchell Jr. a Baltimore native and longtime Washington advocate for the NAACP.

His family remains central as his son serves in the Maryland Legislature and his wife Juanda is a Baltimore lawyer. Mitchell’s quiet persistence underpins progress from Truman era orders to 1960s civil rights milestones.
