Description
Walter Kaufmann, a refuge from Nazi Germany, was a lawyer and CORE volunteer in Mississippi during Freedom Summer. Though many of these materials relate to his efforts to continue his CORE-related activities in California after his return home, the best materials have to do with Freedom Summer itself. There's an August 21, 1964, telegram reporting violence in Philadelphia, Mississippi; a short day-by-day journal of his activities in Philadelphia, Mississippi around the time of the discovery of and initial service for the missing civil rights workers' bodies, an eloquent letter describing the tensions between the white community and Freedom Summer workers there in the week afterwards, and a fascinating analysis of the white Mississippi power structure and the cotton economy in Mississippi. The folders also contain appeals for money, supplies, and pressure on legislators regarding the Congressional challenge; personal correspondence from former volunteers to Kaufmann; memos about plan
