Papers, mainly 1960-1962, of Jack and Judith L. Ladinsky, two University of Wisconsin professors in Sociology and Medicine, respectively, chiefly documenting their involvement in the civil rights movement as graduate students at the University of Michigan. The most extensive part of the collection documents the Ann Arbor Direct Action Committee (AADAC) which they helped to organize in 1960 and which later became affiliated with the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). Included are organizational records, minutes, correspondence, planning material, and flyers, publications, testimony, and photographs. The records document actions against discrimination in public accommodations, housing, and employment, particularly picketing against segregation at Kresge and Woolworth stores in the south. Miscellaneous papers document involvement with other political and social action groups in Ann Arbor such as Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and the VOICE political party and Jack Ladinsky's participation in student cooperatives at the University of Missouri-Columbia and in the Columbia chapter of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE).
