Title

Seminar Schedule from the Civil Rights Conference at Mount Holyoke, 1965

Description

In February of 1965, Mount Holyoke co-hosted a Civil Rights Conference alongside Amherst, Smith, and the University of Massachusetts. A variety of guest speakers attended the conference and gave lectures, including Dave Dennis, Howard Zinn, and Ossie Davis. The Conference was organized by students from the four colleges. They created the Conference because they believed that the “political, economic, and social areas into which the civil rights movement has expanded are so complex that it is necessary for people actively committed to civil rights to hear what some of the leaders in these newly opened areas have to say.”
