| Abstract:
|
The Arnie Goldwag Brooklyn Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) collection consists
principally of the subject files concerning 1960s civil rights activism maintained
by Arnie Goldwag, an officer of Brooklyn CORE during the first half of the 1960s.
These files include correspondence, newsletters, event announcements (e.g., fliers),
directions for demonstrators, photographs, press releases, clippings, and other documents
related to many of the actions conducted by Brooklyn CORE, particularly for the period
1961-1965. Actions represented in the collection include those protesting discrimination
in employment, housing, schools, and the like, including the controversial initiative
to block traffic in connection with the opening of the 1964 World's Fair. The collection
also includes reminiscences by Goldwag and other CORE members looking back from the
1990s and 2000s. In addition to Brooklyn CORE-related material, the collection includes
material related to other 1960s activist groups, including those involved with civil
rights, Vietnam War opposition, and draft resistance, among others.
