Abstract:

General correspondence and subject files of the Western Regional Office of CORE (1962-1965) established in San Francisco to direct the activities of 42 West Coast local chapters. The subject files include material on internal administration and discrimination in employment and housing. The administrative files contain miscellaneous financial records, publicity of various kinds, and statements on the philosophy and tactics of non-violence. Folders on the office's relations with local chapters, the California CORE Council, and the Western Regional Action Council reveal the breakdown of responsibility within the organization.
