Title: COAHR 40th Anniversary Planning Session Agenda, September 30, 1999
Creator: Committee on the Appeal for Human Rights
Date: 1999-09-30
Decade: 1990-1999
Description: An agenda, memorandum, and correspondence letter surrounding the 40th-year commemoration of the Committee on Appeal for Human Rights. The Committee on Appeal for Human Rights held a planning session for its 40th anniversary, discussing various proposals including staffing considerations, proposed activities, an Atlanta Inquirer proposal, an oral history project, and a commemorative monument, as well as resources needed such as staffing, funds, and support from the City of Atlanta and County, and established a schedule of future meetings. In a letter from Johnny E. Parham, Jr. to Lonnie King regarding the fortieth anniversary of the Atlanta Student Movement, it is suggested that the City of Atlanta pay tribute to past participants and present them with keys to the city and state and that a follow-up report titled "A Look at Atlanta, Forty Years Later" be compiled by the AU Center as a student project and presented during the anniversary. The letter discusses plans for commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Atlanta University Student Movement, including a freedom run to generate funds for scholarships, a day of workshops, and a banquet to honor supporters, with the Atlanta Inquirer chronicling the journey of the movement and highlighting participants and their contributions. 4 pages.
