From the Collection:

This collection consists of correspondence, meeting agendas, minutes, memoranda, and committee reports that Frances D. Green (1910-?) collected from O.A.S.I.S. and H.O.P.E. Included in the files are O.A.S.I.S. articles of association, by-laws, handwritten meeting notes, correspondence, and membership lists. The correspondence contains a description of groups and individuals identified by H.O.P.E. as distributors of “hate-literature” opposing integration. Of particular note is a letter and report from mayoral candidate Ivan Allen Jr., in which he states his support of the organization. The collection also includes letters and reports concerning cooperating organizations as well as publications and news articles about school integration.
