Atlanta Community Relations Commission Collection. 1963-1968.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/51769805

This collection consists of the papers generated by Eliza Paschall and the Atlanta Community Relations Commission (ACRC) during her year as Executive Director of the ACRC, 1967-1968. The bulk of the collection is the research materials gathered by Paschall and the ACRC to support their work in the community. The files contain reports and statistics that document issues such as employment discrimination, police action in the Dixie Hills Riots, and desegregation efforts in the public schools. Of special interest are the studies that survey the conditions of Atlanta's disadvantaged neighborhoods. The correspondence is to and from some of the leading politicos and civil rights organizations in Atlanta regarding the actions of the ACRC. Also included in this collection are a few earlier records created when Paschall was Executive Director of the Council on Human Relations of Greater Atlanta. These consist mainly of her articles for the Atlanta Inquirer, press releases, and a few letters.
