A Proposal to the Southern Elections Fund, Nov 1969

A PROPOSAL TO THE SOUTHERN ELECTIONS FUND
Since 1964, there has been a notable absence of youthful civil rights activists in the South.
They have been absent because of the cry for blackworkers in the black community; because the anti-war movement and the "urban crisis" have, for some people, eclipsed the rural South as an area of concern; and because the nation as a whole has shifted to the right.
I would like to propose that SEF begin an active program of recruitment of students, black and white, primarily Southern, to work in Southern political campaigns during 1970.
Recent talks with representatives of major foundations and Southern based civil rights organizations have led me to believe that an attempt will be made by some of these groups to recruit students for non-electoral civil rights connected projects in the South during the next few months.
I would like to propose that SEF either join this effort, or establish its own recruitment apparatus.

Dear Mr. Hamilton,
Thank you for inviting me to contribute to J. C. I will not be able to send any material at this time; I have to be out of the city most of November, and will not have time to prepare a manuscript.
Sincerely,

Dear Sp/4 Montgomery:
Thank you for writing. I thought you might be interested in seeing a booklet I edited last summer for the Southern Regional Council; it deals with campaign experiences in the South.
Best wishes.

Dear Mr. Howard,
Thank you for writing me about your situation.
I do not know what I can do to help you from Atlanta; I am not an attorney and my entrance into your case might not be too helpful.
Sincerely,

Dear Miss Milstein,
Please forgive my slowness in responding to your letter.
I do not know now when I will be in Miami again, but if I am there, and you are there, I look forward to meeting you.
At any rate, I just wanted you to know I do appreciate your writing, and I do appreciate your kind words.
