Abstract:
Records of a national organization founded in 1942 by university students of varied backgrounds to promote racial and religious harmony. The relationship of the national office in New York City to the two dozen local panels during the 1950s is most heavily documented. Also present is information on personnel, fund raising, the organization of the national council in 1953, and special support received from the American Jewish Committee. Types of documentation in the collection include correspondence, press releases, working papers of the national office, and files on the organization and activity of local panels, fund-raising programs, and training conferences.
