- Description
This folder is a hodge-podge of mostly fragmentary items: hand-written notes, names and addresses of people to contact or provide food and clothing for, and drafts of statements and essays both by Amzie Moore and by Diane Nash Bevel. Here are the complete statement (as well as outline and some drafts) that Moore made to the National Advisory Commission on Rural Poverty, full of facts and figures about black migration from Mississippi, federal aid programs, the War on Poverty, and the results he wanted the group to bring about. It also includes notes from 1957 about black rural poverty, comparing per capita income in a variety of southern states; a notebook in someone else's hand, recording attendance at 1964 mass meetings and attendees' families' clothing needs; notes in someone else's hand about black history; a 1966 list of parents who wanted their children to integrate white schools under the "freedom of choice" plan; 1966 complaints of mistreatment and discrimination; Moore's notes
