Made initial contact with UR Rare Books and Special Collections today. Our hope is to une the "William Bub Rochester Race Riot Papers" as a starting point for our own work this semester. The collection includes newspaper clippings from the time of the July 1964 events and taped interviews with a variety of community members.
UR is very reticent to allow acces to the interviews as they are concerned that the collection is "being used to death". We did view one folder of clippings today (xerox copies of clippings, not originals). We will continue to try to gain access to interviews.
