National Student Coalition Against Racism Records, 1974-1978

Scope and Content Note

Most of the records in this collection are printed fliers, form letters, press releases, newsclippings, and similar material. They document the activities of the organization, but do little to illuminate the decisions and policies formulated by staff members. Nor is much information present regarding coalition members and groups. For example, the conflict and final split between NSCAR and YWLL is poorly documented. General information about NSCAR may be found in the folders of correspondence, history and organization, FBI surveillance files, and press releases. Material on NSCAR activities includes correspondence relating to each meeting or march planned by NSCAR or other groups, fliers, lists of endorsers, newsclippings, and other documents. Chapter records are primarily fliers and other printed material.
