Also includes materials on Shaw's work in race relations during decades of changing residential conditions in the Woodlawn neighborhood and the Sixth United Presbyterian Church, which appointed its first African American minister in 1956, the Rev. Abraham Lincoln Reynolds. Shaw's personal notebooks and correspondence with individuals, businesses, and organizations also are present, including his correspondence with the Rev.
