North Carolina Fund records, 1962-1971 (Public Information Department Series).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/34847489

Records (about 9,000 items) of the Public Information Department include files of Billy Barnes and other staff members about Fund press and public relations; assistance to community action programs through public information efforts; and Fund publications, films, slide shows, radio shows, and other efforts. Much of the 1967 correspondence deals with press coverage of attacks on the Fund by Representatives Jim Gardner and Nick Galifianakis. There are also records of a special project that assembled packets of article reprints on poverty and race and mailed them to community leaders throughout the state. Also included are audiotapes, films, radio show transcripts, film scripts, and slide shows. Films include "No Hand-Outs for Mrs. Hedgpeth" (28 minutes, color, April 1968) on the life of a domestic worker in Durham, N.C.; a film explaining the Fund's program; and a film about the summer anti-poverty work of the 100 North Carolina Volunteers in 1964. In 1967, the Public Information Department produced a weekly radio show, "New Voices in Carolina," and distributed it to 35 North Carolina stations. For each show, John Morgan interviewed people participating in anti-poverty work as clients, staff, or volunteers.
