Heinze, Frederick W

Description

Almost all the documents in this folder start in the fall of 1964 and go into 1965, 1966, and 1967. As such, they reveal the discouragement, anger, and cynicism many volunteers felt as COFO and SNCC started falling apart and the problems of poverty and the system which caused them seemed intractable. The folder includes the following: "Mississippi: Handbook for Political Programs" (COFO); a 1965 pamphlet on the MFDP whose cover shows an older black man raising his fist in the air; voter registration statistics for Hinds County during the summer of 1966; a pamphlet about SNCC with "Ruleville, Mississippi" printed on the front cover; Frederick Heinze's completed form assigning legal responsibility for him to COFO; Heinze's handwritten notes and fundraising letters to friends written during winter 1964-spring 1965; "The Civil Rights Bill and What It Means to You"; a COFO document outlining its plans for winter 1964-spring 1965; an appeal from the New York Chapter of the Medical Committee
