CORE Correspondence, November 1960

Congress of Racial Equality

1960-11

1960-1969

In the enclosed envelope are three correspondence letters written to Mary Anne Smith. Two letters are from Marvin Rich and one from Gordon R. Carey. The letters from Marvin Rich are about sharing resources for CORE and the organization's philosophy through two publications: "This Is CORE" and the CORE-lator. The third letter from Gordon R. Carey is a memo that discusses the tense situation in New Orleans regarding school integration, the efforts of field secretaries to reduce tensions, and the request for support in urging President Eisenhower to take a public position, local Catholics to advocate for desegregation of parochial schools, and sending an encouraging note to Federal Judge J. Skelly Wright. 4 pages.
