Congress of Racial Equality. Mississippi, Fourth Congressional District
Description
This folder contains many undated, unattributed planning documents and policy ideas by famous people and grassroots individuals in several places. Some of the undated planning documents for a CORE meeting discuss leadership issues between local and out-of-state civil rights workers and about voter registration. There's a list of demands about conditions in Natchez. Dave Dennis presents "Freedom '68," a proposed action plan for CORE. There's an unattributed proposal to redistribute wealth without regard to race. "C.O.R.E. Northern Project: Chicago" describes tensions among Chicago's neighborhood CORE branches. The 1964 "COFO Political Program" outlines the state process for electing delegates to the Democratic National Convention and declares the MFDP's intention to participate in that process and be seated there in place of the delegates chosen by the all-white Democratic Party of Mississippi as well as to run African American candidates for congressional office.
