Title A name given to the resource Ephemera Collection Description An account of the resource In 2009, BBRM staff and volunteers began the archiving of this collection, with the arranging of objects chronologically (1935 – 1995) and the purchasing of proper archival storage materials. In 2011, an oral finding aid with provenance was constructed by conversations between University of Alabama School of Library and Information Studies (UA SLIS) volunteer Lindsey Reynolds (now at University of Georgia, Athens Library) and BBRM Director Bob Friedman. In 2013 and 2014, those interviews were transcribed by UA SLIS volunteer Michael Mitchell (known affectionately as the MMT). For each object, the original finding aid conversation has been added and can be found in quotes in the description section. As of the most recent online uploading in August, 2019, the Ephemera Collection consisted of eight boxes containing 413 folders with approximately 850 files, spanning the period 1935-1989. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading. Examples include books, letters, dissertations, poems, newspapers, articles, archives of mailing lists.

Title A name given to the resource Clipping, "Black's Strike After White Exec Fired" Description An account of the resource Box 7 Folder 6: "And we’re up to Folder 6 which is an article the Birmingham News, from February 13th of 1976. “Blacks strike after white exec fired.” Now shortly after A.G. Gaston purchased WENN radio, what he decided he’d do is to fire Joe Lackey who had been associated with WENN radio and WBCO for many years and who many of the jocks knew personally. And upon firing him and replacing him with Larry Hayes, the jocks at WENN staged a walk out. And it was basically led by Paul "Tall Paul" White, and Reverend Erskine Faush. And the article goes on to say that “Erskine Faush, spokesmen for the employees, said they have tried to meet with Gaston but he has so far refused to do so. Gaston said he would meet with the employees individually.” Ah yes, the old divide and conquer routine. But of course everybody has their reasons for doing what they’re doing." 1970s A. G.
