Papers, 1956-1965 and n.d.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122562638

This collection contains correspondence, personal letters, printed materials such as reports, articles, and essays, and newspaper clippings. The majority of the correspondence pertains to a 1958 meeting of the Fellowship of the Concerned. After being reported in a Montgomery weekly newspaper, Montgomery Home News, white fellowship members were criticized and harassed. The printed materials deal with a wide variety of civil rights topics and include comments by religious and civic leaders. The newspaper clippings document the response to the meeting of the Fellowship and the violence directed at the Freedom Riders, black and white youth who rode buses through the South in order to stand up for civil rights.
