FELLOWSHIP OF SOUTHERN CHURCHMEN RECORDS, #3479, 1937-1986
Office files of an interdenominational, interracial group of southern church people (lay
and clergy) seeking to apply the Christian faith to current social disorders in the South.
While external changes in conditions caused shifts in emphasis and specific policies, basic
interests lay in race relations, anti- Semitism, rural dependency, and labor conditions.
Included in the collection are papers relating to new uprisings of the Ku Klux Klan and the
arrest of Fellowship members in Atlanta, Georgia, because of an interracial student folk
dance party (1948).
