Photocopies of typescript essays re: Dorothy Tilly, civil rights worker. Dorothy Eugenia (Rogers) Tilly was born in 1883 in Hampton, Ga., and graduated from Rinehart and Wesleyan Colleges. In 1903 she married Milton Eben Tilly of Atlanta, who encouraged her interest in civil rights. Active first in the Methodist Episcopal Church, Tilly worked for the establishment of a state reform school for delinquent black girls, joined the Association of Southern Women for Prevention of Lynching and the Southern Regional Council, and in 1945, was appointed to the President's Committee on Civil Rights. In 1949 Tilly organized the Fellowship of the Concerned, an inter-faith, inter-racial group of southern women working for improved law enforcement, the elimination of lynching, and peaceful desegregation. She died in 1970.
