Watson Tue, 27 Jul 2010 17:26:35 +0000 http://historycoalition.org/?p=2916#comment-6309 To: Members of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee: As editor of The Papers of Clarence Mitchell Jr., I am writing to request your support for the full authorization of $20 million for the NHPRC's grants program. The Mitchell papers project is the only scholarly entity that is devoted to the study of the legislative history of the civil rights struggle, and the NHPRC's funding has been essential for our work, enabling us so far to publish the first 3 of 7 volumes of Mitchell's monthly and annual reports, which document the progressive stages of his work. In September volume IV (1951-54) of the papers will be published. As you know, Clarence Mitchell Jr.'s legendary status as the civil rights lobbyist won him popular recognition as the "101st senator." Prof. Denton L.
