• FIELDTRIP TO WILSON LIBRARY
• Meet in Wilson Library, Room 504, an instructional room, directly off the main floor lobby of Wilson Library

After an introduction to the special collections at Wilson Library, we will be handling and reading documents from the Federal Writers' Project Papers, 1936-1940. This collection contains the life histories of about 1,200 individuals, written by about 60 members of the project after one or more interviews with the subjects. Persons interviewed, many of them African Americans, described life in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.

We will also examine documents from the collection of Sam J. Erin's papers. Ervin was a North Carolina legislator, judge and United States senator. In particular we will look at correspondence with some of his constituents relating to the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
