[2] However, since 1937, its location has changed to a different location in the South every year. [2] From 1956 to 1963, the annual meeting took place in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, where both whites and blacks could find places to stay. [1]
Its president was Alfred Benjamin Butts in 1938. [3] Roscoe C. Martin served as its president in 1942. [2] [3] He was followed by Herman Clarence Nixon, who served as its president in 1944 and 1945. [3] By 1955, its president was Manning J. Dauer. [3]
During the McCarthy era of the 1950s, the association remained apolitical. [2] In 1964, Martin Luther King Jr. gave an address at the SPSA meeting in Durham, North Carolina. [2] By 1973, its president was Samuel DuBois Cook, an African-American political scientist. [3]

The goal of its founders was to foster, across disciplines, important questions in the realm of social sciences, and to promote the work of those whose research aimed to address important social problems.
