http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/findingaids/mc00173

The Cyrus B. King Papers contain correspondence, political campaign materials, newsletters from a variety of local and national organizations, flyers, clippings, membership rosters, fundraising information, invitations, precinct maps, journal articles, newspaper editorials, and reports and resolutions on political issues. The majority of the material was generated through Cyrus King's work to promote civil rights and racial justice and his work on political campaigns. There are also documents that relate to his time as a Librarian at North Carolina State University and a small amount of personal correspondence. Cyrus Baldwin King, born in 1922, worked in the North Carolina State University Library for over twenty years and was active in a wide variety of efforts to promote civil rights and social justice. He was hired by N.C. State as an Acquisitions Librarian in 1963 and retired in 1984 as Assistant Director for Collection Management and Development. He was and remains very politically active, writing tirelessly in support of the causes that he has adopted, most notably racial justice, campaigns to promote peace and non-violence, and other civil rights causes.
