"Born to sharecropper parents near Troy, Alabama in 1940, John Lewis grew up attending segregated schools. After attending Fisk University, Lewis studied at the American Baptist Theological Seminary in Nashville, Tennessee. He endured beating by mobs while participating in the Freedom Rides in 1961, which were organized to protest segregation in bus terminals. As Chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) from 1963 to 1966, Lewis oversaw many of the student sit-ins and protests of the Civil Rights Movement. [...] John Doar (1921-2014) was an attorney who prosecuted discrimination and segregation cases for the Justice Department during the civil rights movement. [...] The John Doar Papers primarily document Doar's tenure with the Civil Rights Division in the form of court records, investigation files, correspondence, and notes, though materials from Doar's time on the Watergate impeachment inquiry committee and on the Board of Education are also present. To a lesser extent, the collection is composed of records from Doar's work for the Bedford-Stuyvesant Corporation and his private law practice." [self-description]
