Abstract:
Records of the Washington Interracial Workshop, the Washington, D.C., CORE affiliate (1949-1955), consisting of operational files and information on various desegregation campaigns. Of these, the year-long effort to integrate the Rosedale Playground is best represented, in one box of correspondence, minutes, lists, reports, research and legal material, publicity, and clippings. Within the operational files, correspondence, a constitution, minutes, reports to national headquarters, and publications provide an overview of the workshop's role in civil rights activities generally. The latter section also includes information about related civil rights activities of chairman Albert Mindlin, 1953-1955.
