Miscellaneous Clippings, Hampden-Sydney Tiger, 1968-1969

 File — Box: 1, Folder: 13

Scope and Contents

From the Collection: The Prince Edward County Integration Collection, largely donated by the Reverend Richard J. Keever, features contemporaneous newspaper clippings related to the Prince Edward County school closings, as well as the administrative papers of several local human rights groups, such as The Prince Edward Council on Human Relations and the Citizens Organization for Public Education (COPE). Further materials document the history of a bi-racial study group, which met at College Church in 1964, including related local newsletters. Rev. Keever began researching the repercussions of the school closings in the early 1970s with an eye towards a larger project; featured in this collection are his research notes as well as annotated newspaper clippings, and a 1964 thesis by Anthony C. Sherman entitled “Christian Response and a Protracted Racial Crisis: A Study of Prince Edward County, Virginia.”

The collection also includes two digital collections: Civil Rights Articles from the Hampden-Sydney Tiger, and the College Church Biracial Study Group. The latter contains scans of materials already found in the physical collections, but the former contains additional scanned clippings from the Hampden-Sydney Tiger not found in the physical collection.
