Robert Abramovitz Papers, 1964-1967

Scope and Content Note

The Abramovitz papers, spanning 1964-1967, include correspondence, minutes, policy statements, and clippings; and they have been arranged by type of material. Included in the correspondence is routine administrative mail; arrangements for movie showings and other cultural events sponsored by the chapter; and requests for information about the civil rights movement. The minutes document the meetings held with city officials in 1965 concerning a resolution of the housing question. Also in the collection are the chapter's public policy statements on such issues as housing, job discrimination, and a proposed New Haven community co-op. The clippings, primarily from the New Haven Register from 1963 to 1967, document the chapter's activities during those years.
