Archival Resources in Wisconsin: Descriptive Finding Aids

Container	Title
Mss 324	Part 1 (Mss 324, Audio 544A, PH 5025, PH 5026, VCA 247-VCA 253): Original Collection, 1949-1975 Physical Description: 18.0 cubic feet (46 archives boxes), 28 tape recordings, 7 video recordings, 75 photographs, 17 negatives, 10 items of ephemera, 2 posters, and 1 handmade sign Scope and Content Note The George Wiley Papers document aspects of both his public and private life and provide information on all the phases of activity mentioned above. They include correspondence, minutes, reports, great quantities of mimeographed materials, clippings, tape recordings, and other papers, and are arranged in six series: (1) Personal Papers, (2) Early Civil Rights and Poverty Activities, (3) National Welfare Rights Organization, (4) Movement for Economic Justice, (5) Audio Recordings, and (6) Visual Materials. Though the Papers document most aspects of Wiley's life, they at times are rather fragmentary and, particularly in the NWRO series, it is often difficult to detect Wiley's role in the activities taking place. The PERSONAL PAPERS consist primarily of correspondence and include information on Wiley's family life and teaching career, and general biographical information. Included are memoranda books containing brief notes of appointments and activities, and one folder of clippings and notes on his death and memorial services. Also included are photographs of Wiley, his family and friends, and his activities as a student and professor, and some of his welfare and civil rights activities. The EARLY CIVIL RIGHTS AND POVERTY ACTIVITIES series contains substantial quantities of information on Syracuse CORE, national CORE, and the Citizens' Crusade Against Poverty. Syracuse CORE's activities in the areas of housing discrimination and urban renewal, job discrimination, and police procedures are documented as are other Syracuse activities related to civil rights. Both the CORE folders and the Citizens' Crusade Against Poverty folders contain papers showing Wiley's activities plus much mimeographed material related less directly to him. Papers on the 1965 White House Conference on Civil Rights are also in this series. By far the largest series is the records pertaining to the NATIONAL WELFARE RIGHTS ORGANIZATION. It is arranged in two files: an Administrative File and a General File. The Administrative File contains constitutions, minutes, personnel records, financial and fund raising records, and miscellaneous other items pertaining to the internal functioning of the organization. The General File contains all program and project records, general correspondence, local chapter materials, miscellaneous clippings about NWRO, papers of the Misseduc Foundation and the National Self-Help Corporation, writings on welfare by various people outside NWRO, and records of Wiley's activities such as calendars and expense vouchers. The General File is arranged alphabetically by subject, organization name, or type of document (e.g., “General Correspondence”). The projects most thoroughly documented are the fight against FAP including related materials on guaranteed adequate income and the 1972 Children's March for Survival, the fight against New York's “employables” demonstration project, relations with HEW, and efforts to get the 1972 Democratic National Convention to support the Poor People's Platform. Other organizations whose relationships with NWRO are well-documented are the Center on Social Welfare Policy and Law, the Congressional Black Caucus, and some of the local NWRO chapters. Information on Wiley's MOVEMENT FOR ECONOMIC JUSTICE period is quite sparse and consists mainly of mimeographed materials. Though the first months after establishing MEJ were spent mainly on research and planning, the Papers do describe a consumer project, a revenue sharing project, a tax justice project, a labor union project, and a community organizing project. Arrangement is alphabetical by topic, organization name, or type of document. The AUDIO RECORDINGS series overlaps the previous four series chronologically and in subject matter, and is arranged in a pattern parallel to the papers in four subseries: Personal, Civil Rights, Welfare Rights, and Tax Reform. Included are speeches by Martin Luther King Jr. (his “I Have a Dream” speech), Bayard Rustin, Richard Cloward, Frances Piven, James Farmer, and Dick Gregory, and a radio interview with American Nazi Party leader George Lincoln Rockwell. The VISUAL MATERIALS series covers materials in the first four series and is arranged by call number and format. Contains personal and family photographs; posters and photographs of the National Welfare Organization; photographs of living and working conditions of African Americans; videos of Wiley's announcement of the formation of the MEJ; and videos from Wiley's funeral and memorial.

The next segment of the program is a WINS, New York, interview with Rockwell outside the Supreme Court of New York concerning much the same topics. First the reporter reviews the events at the hearing on the free speech rally and talks with Rockwell. Then is presented an interview outside the courtroom with one Jew who had spent time in a Nazi concentration camp; he talks about his time in the camp and speaks emotionally of his hatred and frustration against Rockwell and the proposed rally (10 minutes).

George Wiley is a participant. Rustin presents a short history of the modern civil rights movement, talks about the significance of Birmingham, and discusses why the March on Washington was important. He points out problems the movement faces (24 minutes). During the question and answer period Rustin addresses himself to a broad range of concerns expressed by the group. He points out the need for getting more people involved and calls for CORE and the movement as a whole to seek out a wider range of allies, particularly among church groups and unions. He calls for disruption of the Democratic and Republican convention. Especially interesting are Rustin's revelations about the behind the scenes happenings during the March on Washington (85 minutes).
544A/10	1964 February 2 Physical Description: Time: Side 1 - 60 minutes; Side 2 - 30 minutes : Format: 3 3/4 IPS; 7-inch reel; 1/2 track; mono; acetate; 1.5 mil Scope and Content Note: WHEN radio documentary series on the Negro in Syracuse.

Side 1: Bayard Rustin (first section of speech missing) addresses the Upstate CORE Conference in Syracuse. He assesses the progress of the civil rights movement and calls for fundamental changes in American society. Rustin elaborates on his belief that the civil rights movement needs to seek out allies among white liberal groups, churches, and unions as was done in the 1963 March on Washington. He also talks about the philosophy of non-violent protest and outlines three tasks before the civil rights movement: (1) It must continue the fight at every level. (2) It must maintain unity. (3) It must remain non-violent. Side 2: An address by Walt Saver? on urban renewal and the struggle for good housing. He discusses some of the background of urban renewal and presents suggestions on how people can fight urban renewal (or minority renewal as Saver calls it). This section concludes with 10-15 minutes of questions. Next Tom Hahn?, a civil rights activist, addresses the conference on the structure of national economics and the ways in which this structure affects minorities, especially blacks. (continued on next reel)
544A/12	1964 February 28 Physical Description: Time: Side 1 - 90 minutes; Side 2 - 90 minutes : Format: 3 3/4 IPS; 7-inch reel; 1/2 track; mono; polyester; 1.0 mil Scope and Content Note CORE Conference (continued). Side 1: Continuation of Tom Hahn's lecture (15 minutes); concludes with a question and answer period (10 minutes). Bayard Rustin then comments about the March 10 March on Albany and the protest to take place later the same day at the Willow Street jail, the police station, and the city hall. Rustin discusses the list of demands to be presented by the march. This section concludes with presentation of the strategy for a march that day in Syracuse. Delegates to the conference are instructed as to where and when to assemble and where to pick up protest signs. Following this is the conclusion of George Wiley's summary comments on the conference (comments begin on Side 2) and then a brief portion of a conference business session. Side 1 was recorded over a letter to George Wiley by some friends. A segment of this letter remains at the end of this side of the tape. Side 2: Mainly contains addresses given before the conference by national CORE workers. First is an almost inaudible presentation by an unidentified man who discusses the media, particularly the press, and their relationship to the civil rights movement. He presents suggestions on how to raise money, set priorities, and what help is available to local chapters from the National Office in this respect (15 minutes). Alan Hoffman [?], the CORE field secretary for the Northeast region, discusses the internal structure of CORE and the different national action committees (10 minutes). Next Thelma [?] discusses how locals can carry on negotiations, overcome hostility, and get the community involved (1 hour). The conference next takes up the wording of a telegram to Governor Rockefeller against pending stop and search legislation and other resolutions to be voted on. George Wiley concludes this side of the tape with comments on the importance of the conference and his thoughts on CORE's role in the larger picture of the national civil rights movement. He analyzes CORE's relationships with other important civil rights groups such as SNCC and the NAACP and with other groups such as churches and labor unions.
