AUDIT ROW #391 · THE 64-ORGANIZATION REGISTER (READ WHOLE, NOVEMBER 2026)

The town's organized life was read whole for this build — the 64-organization register enrolled in this history, from the lodge ring to the 2023 foundations — and it contains no NAACP branch, no Urban League presence, no settlement house, and no Black civic organization of any kind. The absence is printed as this section's finding, at read-whole strength, with the boundary stated in the same breath: the county's Black institutional life seated in South Bend — its NAACP branch is the county's branch — and a town whose Black community counted in the low dozens at its peak neither founded nor was assigned a branch of its own. Institutions follow population; the register's silence and the census's counts are the same fact read in two records, and the leg prints them together so neither is mistaken for a search failure.

Principal sources: this history (the 64-organization register, read whole November 2026), the finding stated over it; Population (the counts), pointed to; the South Bend NAACP branch — boundary pointer only.
