<META NAME="description" CONTENT="John Preston Davis was one of the original founders of the National Negro Congress (NNC) in 1936. He remained Executive Secretary and guiding spirit for the organization from its inception until 1942. He left the NNC to become Chief of the Washington Bureau of the Pittsburgh Courier, a position he held from 1943 to 1945.  The Democratic National Committee appointed Davis as Assistant Director of Publicity in 1944. In this capacity, Davis covered the 1944, 1948 and 1952 presidential campaigns. In 1945 Davis also became editor and publisher of Our World Publishing Company for eleven years. He also was editor of special publications for the Phelps-Stokes Fund in New York City. Among his accomplishments at the Fund was editing the first edition of the American Negro Reference Book. ">
