Title: Civil rights and social activism in the South
Description: "The publication of John L. LeFlore papers and the NPVL records will provide researchers in political science, history, law, and other fields an opportunity to examine the primary documents of an important twentieth-century civil rights organization in Alabama. These papers represent the workings of an independent civil rights organization and invite new investigations into black activism at the local level. Further, the LeFlore-NPVL papers shed light on the civil rights struggle in Mobile itself, a city more politically responsive to blacks during the 1950s than Montgomery or Birmingham."--Publisher's Web site.
