Abstract:
Papers of John B. Thompson, a Presbyterian minister and social activist who was prominently involved with a large number of civil rights, civil liberties, and peace groups. Included are correspondence and minutes, newsletters, and other publications for organizations in which Thompson was an officer or a founder such as the Chicago Council Against Racial and Religious Discrimination, the National Committee to Repeal the McCarran Act, the Committee for Peaceful Alternatives, and the American Peace Mobilization, which opposed United States involvement in World War II. Subject files also containing smaller amounts of correspondence and publications document his interest in other groups. Also included are files on various conferences which he attended or at which he spoke, speeches and notes, writings, and a few recorded sermons.
