Congressional and Personal Papers, 1920-1980.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/23673488

Papers document Corman's twenty years as Democratic Representative of the 22nd Congressional District in the San Fernando Valley from 1961-1980. Personal papers also cover Corman's years as a member of the Los Angeles City Council from 1958-1959 and military service in the United States Marine Corps. For twenty years, from 1961-1981, James C. Corman represented the Twenty Second District in the San Fernando Valley in U.S. Congress. The first decade of Corman's political career was a period of turbulent social unrest and rapidly changing views of the role Congress should play in solving many of the nation's racial and minority problems. The 1970s were years of far-reaching economic and political change. Since his defeat in 1980, it has become increasingly evident that Corman's efforts in Congress contributed in a vital way to the growth of his district, the needs of his constituents and the lasting concerns of the nation.
