Scope and Contents: A collection of 90 sound cassettes--thirty-three interviews--of various interviewees’ oral histories of the sixties. The collections includes interviews of Kentucky and West Virginia community organizers, politicians, journalists, and scholars related to federal government funded anti-poverty programs in the 1960s and 1970s. The interviews were recorded by Gibbs Kinderman in connection with the production of four public radio documentaries: The "Appalachian Volunteers," "Maximum Feasible Participation," "Strip Mining," and "Fair Elections.” Copies of the documentaries are included in the collection.
