A few days ago, I mentioned the substantial paper I'd done in 1966 on poor white organizing.  The paper, housed in my collection at Wisconsin, has been utilized a number of times by researchers and writers.  I didn't have a copy here but Wisconsin has kindly sent me one -- and also a slightly expanded version that I put forth in 1968.

The title of the 1966 paper is,"Poor Whites and the North Carolina Leadership Training Project."  (That project was under the auspices of the North Carolina Fund -- a private anti-poverty organization with Ford Foundation funding.) 

The title of my slightly enlarged version, 1968, is "The Economically Deprived Southern White: Organizing and Education Against Poverty and Racism."  That went out to a number of bona fide organizers.

The paper itself is 37 double-spaced legal sized pages with footnotes.  There are two pages of bibliography.

That was back in the days when I had my old Underwood typewriter and used carbon-sets.  No easy Xerox or related copying in those days -- at least for me.

I may post some excerpts of the paper at some point.
