Papers in the collection include Friesen's reports to the Mennonite Central Committee, in the form of memos (filed with correspondence), and the Committee's responses, detailing plans, activities, the reaction of both white and black communities, and other church projects. Friesen's diary from 1964 concerns a scouting trip which he made prior to establishment of the center, and similar evaluations of sites, communities, and plans sponsored by the Mennonites may be found in the folder labeled “Reports of Trips, Visits, and Investigations.” Included with Other Material are fragmentary minutes of meetings.
