Paul Good papers, 1963-1964.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/173862903

The Paul Good papers consist entirely of audio recordings Good made while he was working as a journalist. Most of the material dates from 1964 when he was covering the civil rights movement. The recordings include reports and interviews from well known civil rights battlegrounds around the South. A large part of the collection relates to civil rights activities in three places: Atlanta, Georgia, St. Augustine, Florida, and the state of Mississippi. In Mississippi, Good covered the disappearances of three civil rights activists, voter registration efforts in Hattiesburg and Greenwood, Mississippi, and the state convention of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party (MFDP). Martin Luther King, Jr. and Andrew Young appear on several of the tapes. The collection also includes interviews with Robert Shelton and reports and interviews from presidential elections in the Dominican Republic and Panama, an attempted overthrow of Haitian President Francois Duvalier, and a meeting of the "Alliance for Progress" in Mexico City, Mexico.
