Scope and Contents
The Jean-Claude Bouffard Civil Rights Interviews collection, 1982, contains oral history interviews with Septima Clark, Mary Moultrie, and Bernice Robinson as well as recordings of lectures that Septima Clark and Thomas R. Waring, Jr. gave to Bouffard's College of Charleston class in the summer of 1982. Participants discuss a wide range of topics including their family history and upbringing, their involvement in the Civil Rights Movement and organizing with the Charleston Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), Highlander Folk School, Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), African American leaders like Martin Luther King, Jr., Kwame Ture (Stokley Carmichael), Ralph Abernathy, and Jesse Jackson, segregation in Charleston and, more broadly, in education, and the 1969 Hospital Workers Strike.
More information about the contents of each oral history or lecture can be found within the abstract at the file-level of each recording.
