content: Files include records from Greenstone's education such as grade school report cards, transcripts, diplomas, and some papers from her time as chairman of the Committee on Discriminatory Practices at Brooklyn College. Also found are her birth certificate, organization membership correspondence and mailings, War Department assignment papers, a transcript from an interview conducted by the World War II Farm Labor Project, and a transcript of a talk she gave in Bari, Italy, circa 1955. This series also includes three motion picture films of homemade footage created by Greenstone. The film was titled "The Dentist", and was described by Greenstone as an "attempt to recreate…the experience of being trapped in the mechanical world of modern dentistry and the helplessness of the patient as he is attacked by all this technology."
