Papers. 1963-1968.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/20398941

The collection contains correspondence, writings, speeches, programs, clippings, press releases, and collected items. The correspondence is heavily incoming-having 121 items in this category and 58 items of outgoing correspondence. The heaviest period is from January to November 1965. Ouellet was a missionary in Selma, Alabama, in the 1960's. The incident which generated most of the correspondence was the transferral of Father Ouellet at the request of Bishop Thomas Toolen of the Birmingham-Mobile Archdiocese, allegedly for his participation in events leading to the Selma-Montgomery March and other activities involving him and the facilities of St. Elizabeth's Mission in the Civil Rights Movement. Having been the only white person in the preparatory meetings, he continued his involvement by attempting to stir the consciences of other clerical personnel, both in the Catholic and Protestant churches. Some of the correspondence expresses dislike, some support. Following his transfer from Selma, he became active on the lecture circuit speaking about his activities in Selma and the projected outcomes. Names in the collection include Mathew Ahmann, Philip Berrigan, John H. Chaffee, John P. Crowley, Jonathan Daniels, Joseph Durrick, Margaret Long, John P. Nelson, Jr., and thomas J. Toolen.
