Raymond Wheeler Papers, 1936-1982

http://www2.lib.unc.edu/mss/inv/w/Wheeler,Raymond.html

Raymond Wheeler of Charlotte, N.C., was an internist, civil rights activist, and advocate of better health care and nutrition for the poor, especially in the South. The collection contains chiefly material pertaining to the social justice activities in which Wheeler took part, from the mid-1950s to 1982. Letters, informational bulletins, clippings, and texts of speeches are among the items that document Wheeler's testimony on hunger and malnutrition in America before various Congressional committees and his involvement with such organizations as the Southern Regional Council, the National Sharecropper's Fund, the North Carolina Hunger Coalition, the North Carolina Civil Liberties Union, and the Charlotte Citizen Action Team. Aside from a few letters Wheeler wrote to his parents during World War II, there is very little of a personal nature in the collection.
