Civil Rights Commission. The material ranges in date from 1960 to
1986 and is arranged alphabetically.
The second series, speeches, consists of several talks made
throughout the 1960s on the civil rights movement. The material
is arranged chronologically.
The third series is made up of newspaper articles and clippings
from 1962-1965, 1968, 1983, and 1984. The majority of the articles
are from 1968 and relate to Martin Luther King, Jr.
Coverage during the 1980s pertains

rights movement or African American culture. Some of these publications
