Kirkland Leroy Irvis was born in Saugerties, N.Y., December 27, 1919, son of Francis H. and Harriet Ten Broeck (Cantine) Irvis. His education includes an A.B. summa cum laude in 1938 and an M.A. in 1939 from N.Y. State Teacher's College (now SUNY) in Albany. Irvis received an LL.B. in 1954 and a J.D. in 1969 from University of Pittsburgh Law School. Irvis received the title of Doctor of Laws from both Lincoln University and The State University of New York at Albany. He also received the Owens Fellowship in Law, The Order of the Coif, and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa.
Prior to his successful political career, Irvis worked as a teacher, Pittsburgh steel worker, editor, civil rights worker, news commentator, law clerk, assistant district attorney, civilian attaché to the War Department, and author. Irvis was a member of the Urban League of Pittsburgh, a life member of NAACP, served on the Board of Trustees of the University of Pittsburgh, and served on the Advisory Board of the University of Pittsburgh Medical School.
After his 1957 appointment as Assistant District Attorney in Pittsburgh, Irvis began his state political career. In 1958, he was elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives from Pittsburgh's Hill District. During this same year, his first wife, Katharyne Jones, passed away. Irvis became the Democratic Caucus Chairman in his third term in Congress, and he continued to rise through the ranks of leadership as Majority Caucus Chairman, Minority Whip, and Majority Leader. Along the way, he married Cathryn L. Edwards in 1973. In May 1977 the House unanimously elected him Speaker - the only African-American to hold the position in the United States at that time. In January 1979 the Democratic Caucus elected Irvis to serve as the Democratic Leader for the 1979-1980 session. He was re-elected to the same post for the 1981-82 session. He served again as speaker from 1983 until his retirement in 1988.
Irvis was a delegate to the 1967-1968 Pennsylvania Constitutional Convention and a delegate to the Democratic National Conventions in 1968, 1972, 1976, 1980, and 1984. During the 1980 Democratic National Convention, he served as Vice Chairman of the Pennsylvania Delegation and as Convention Co-Chairman. In 1982 Irvis was elected to serve as a member of the Democratic National Committee.
Irvis sponsored thousands of pieces of legislation addressing his concerns for education, civil rights, health, consumer protection, prison reform, housing, and governmental reform. His most noted achievements include the sponsorship and passage of legislation creating the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission, Pennsylvania Higher Education Equal Opportunity Program, Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency, Minority Business Development Authority, House Ethics Committee, Lobbyist Registration Act, Legislative Audit Advisory Commission, House Bipartisan Management Committee, and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts. Irvis is also credited with suggesting the creation of the Community College System in the Commonwealth. Other noteworthy education legislation Irvis sponsored included the 1966 bill that made the University of Pittsburgh, Penn State, Lincoln, and Temple state-related universities.
Among the organizations to have formally honored Irvis are the NAACP, University of Pennsylvania, Lincoln University of Pennsylvania, and Dominion Resources. The University of Pittsburgh has a K. Leroy Irvis Reading Room in Hillman Library. In 2003, the South Office Building within the Pennsylvania Capitol Complex was renamed the Speaker K. Leroy Irvis Office Building. Pennsylvania Democratic Party Chairman T. J. Rooney described Rep. Irvis as, "one of greatest legislative giants that the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has ever seen ... [and] one of the most admired and respected Pennsylvanians we'll ever know."
Away from politics, Irvis was an accomplished artist and author. In the same year he retired (1988), Irvis wrote a book of poems called,
This Land of Fire, published by Temple University. His wood sculptures have been displayed in exhibits throughout the country. Irvis died at age 86 of cancer.
The K. Leroy Irvis Papers document the life of one of Pennsylvania's most prominent politicians. The collection contains a wide variety of material including correspondence, legislative material, interviews, campaign literature, publications, photographs, awards, audiovisual media, and newspaper clippings. The collection documents Irvis's early career and education, his campaigns and his career as a Representative in the Pennsylvania State House of Representatives, his time as Speaker of the Pennsylvania State House, his legislative priorities and accomplishments, his personal life and hobbies, and the accolades and honors he earned during his career as a public servant. Areas of concentration in the collection include: the Pennsylvania Legislature, higher education, prison reform, housing, Pennsylvania history, senior citizens, National Democratic Conventions, Pennsylvania African-American culture and history, mental health, civil rights, and Irvis' relationship with his family and constituents.
Note: Folders 61, 62, 67, 77, 104, 105, 106, 151, and 152 from the 1974 Addition and folder 26 from the 1995 Addition have been removed from this collection.

The collection, a gift from K. Leroy Irvis, consists of an original deposit in 1971.
This collection was processed by Archives Service Center staff in 1971, 1974, 1975, 1979, 1980, 1995, 2010, and 2017. Two graduate students, Shelley Byron and Ashley Taylor, were instrumental in processing the 2010 addition. As noted above, the collection was processed on seven different occasions because it was donated to the Archives Service Center in several additions during the span of K. Leroy Irvis' political career. Since Irvis was such an important political figure in Pennsylvania, the ASC deemed it necessary and important to make the collection available to the public as each addition was donated. The collection was thematically organized in 2017 to connect similar material from each addition.

Series V. Subject Files 1945-1978
Scope and Content Notes
This series contains subject files maintained by Irvis during his tenure as a legislator. The subject files represent a wide range of issues that affected Irvis's work in the Pennsylvania State House of Representatives and which affected his constituents in Pittsburgh. While the subjects are varied, many relate to Irvis's long-standing legislative priorities and social concerns. There are many files that relate to educational issues, including both K-12 and higher education, the concerns of the African-American community and civil rights, as well as community development. Related material on legislation Irvis considered and enacted exists in Series IV: Legislative Files; there is also related material in Series VII: Community.
The series is arranged in four subseries based on the date the material was acquired by the University of Pittsburgh.
|

Subseries 4. Bidwell Training Center (2010 Addition), 1978-2005
Scope and Content Notes
The Bidwell Cultural and Training Center was established in 1968 by the Bidwell Street Presbyterian Church and the Manchester Community as a response to the riots of the 1960s and lack of jobs for minorities. By 1972, the Bidwell Cultural and Training Center hired William Strickland, Jr. to lead the Center. Strickland urged the creation of a “unique learning environment serving the needs of the community and providing educational opportunities to anyone who aspired to positively change their lives.” By the 1980s, the Center formally changed its name to the Bidwell Training Center and came to operate as it does today, providing education in the high tech and medical industries as well as the horticulture industry. Irvis took great interest in the original creation of the BTC and acted as an investor. In turn, he was placed on the Board. As a Board member, Irvis collected various agendas, correspondence, memorandums, and event information. This subseries is arranged alphabetically by subject.
