Scope and Content of the Series

Series III: Subject and Name Files, 1961-1985, consists of correspondence and related material pertaining to the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen; the strike of poultry workers at the Sanderson Farms plants in Mississippi; the Ku Klux Klan; the Gulf Coast Pulpwood Association; the Southwide Coalition to Stop the Coal; the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC); the Student Mobilization Committee to End the (Vietnam) War; the National Jobs or Income Now Coalition; the National Committee Against Repressive Legislation; the National Fight Back Organization; various political prisoners; and other subjects. Series 3 also contains indexes to names, places and subjects appearing in the Southern Patriot and Southern Struggle from 1942 to 1981.

This series includes much material in pamphlet form. The bulk of this material was produced by SCEF, but there are titles from other local, regional, and national organizations concerned with opposition to the Vietnam War, justice for all citizens, and opposition to the influence of hate groups. The periodicals in this series, excluding the Southern Patriot and Southern Struggle, have been retained with the manuscript material. Monograph components of this series have been cataloged as part of the print holdings of the Special Collections Department.

Pamphlets from this collection are mainly those produced by SCEF, but the holdings do also reflect titles from local, regional, and national groups organized around opposition to the Vietnam War, plus those advocating justice for all citizens of the contemporary South, and the abolition of hate groups there. Periodicals from this collection, other than the SCEF Southern Patriot and then Southern Struggle issues [housed within the Southern Labor Archives periodical holdings], are kept with it, and they also reflect issues concerning opposition to the Vietnam war and methods to gain equality for the South's black citizens. Also kept within the Special Collections Department are volumes of writings by Lenin, Mao Tsetung, and Stalin, donated with this collection by Christine A. Lutz.
