Administrative Information
Mix of some originals and some copies.
Oscar and Freda Ameringer served as leaders in Oklahoma's early-twentieth century Socialist Party. They both published newspapers, and together operated a printing business in Oklahoma City.
Oscar Ameringer, born in Germany on August 4, 1870, was a nationally prominent member of the Socialist party. He lost at a campaign for U.S. Congress in Wisconsin. In Oklahoma he published the Oklahoma Daily Leader and later, with others, the American Guardian, which circulated nationally and internationally. A prolific writer, Oscar penned numerous pamphlets, journals, and books, as well as his newspaper commentaries. His autobiography, If You Don't Weaken, earned praise from his contemporary critics. Oscar Ameringer died on November 5, 1943.
Freda Ameringer, born on November 12, 1892, in Arkansas, joined the Socialist Party early in her life. Her father, Dan Hogan, served as a party leader, inviting orators such as Mother Jones to speak in his district. Freda absorbed their views, becoming a tireless worker for their political cause. In 1917 she joined Oscar in organizing the Oklahoma Socialists. She later published the Oklahoma City Advertiser, a non-political newspaper that focused on local issues. She became a civic leader, involved in the Urban League, the YWCA, the Pilot Club, and UNICEF. In 1956 she was honored as national Clubwoman of the Year. Freda Ameringer died on October 4, 1988.
The collection encompasses early correspondence between Freda and her family and Freda and Oscar. It also includes business and personal letters between 1908 and 1988, legal papers, writings and notes of Oscar, newspaper clippings, photographs, the manuscript to If You Don't Weaken, a handwritten autobiography of Freda's early life in Arkansas, many of the Ameringer's books, and pamphlets written by Oscar and others.
