Week Four at Amistad

I finished sorting the John O’Neal papers and began processing his civil rights organizations series. These files encompass reports, correspondence and meeting notes of O’Neal’s involvement with several civil rights organizations.  O’Neal graduated from Southern Illinois University and became a Field Secretary of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in Georgia and Mississippi. O’Neal also contributed extensively to voter rights registration efforts with his participation in the Council of Racial Equality (CORE), the Council of Federated Organizations (COFO) and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC)…click here for more information.
