Print-out, Associated Press Wire
Description
Box 3 Folder 27: "Folder 27 is a wire service news relief. There were a couple of them. I’m not sure at first glance. Maybe more than a couple. There are six sheets. Not necessarily all from different times, we don’t know. But they are wire service sheets to the news department. They were used obviously by Ben Franklin or an engineer because the flip side of the brown paper is used for schematic drawings. Is there anything interesting?
LWR: I believe we looked up something in here and found out it was ‘56.
BF: Ok. It says in the center of James Eastland. He said, “White people of the south should organize a massive grassroots campaign to resist racial integration." It mentions Autherine Lucy and the University of Alabama. That was '56. And just a series of print outs from the wire service. Some of them may be commercials. They are. And some are news. They are very fragile. Probably from Ben Franklin’s papers."
