Abstract: The Papers of Tia Cross include correspondence, notes, speeches, workshop and course materials, photographs, and political buttons. These papers reflect Cross's work as a photographer, leader of anti-racism workshops, and her community activism. This material also documents Cross's involvement with several Boston-based anti-racism groups, including the Boston People Against Racism and the Klan, Boston Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, and Boston People's Organization. The papers also document the feminist studies classes and lectures Cross was instrumental in bringing to the women incarcerated at the Chittenden County Correctional Center in Vermont.
