The Red Squad Files series (1.0 linear feet) is comprised of three albums kept by Detroit's "Red Squad" or Criminal Intelligence Bureau. Documents included in these albums date from 1939 to 1970 and include CIB memos on meetings and events attended by Charles and Georgia Hill, "activity cards" on their involvements and support of various causes, newspaper clippings, and other materials associated with the Hills, such as programs from the Hartford Avenue Baptist Church and campaign flyers from Charles Hill's bids for Detroit Common Council.
