Size 327.0 feet of linear shelf space (approximately 165,000 items)
Abstract Allard Kenneth Lowenstein (1929-1980) was a white political activist, lawyer, teacher, speaker, author, United States congressman from New York, United States representative to the United Nations Human Rights Commission, and founder and leader of several organizations. The collection includes correspondence, organizational records, political campaign records, congressional files, writings, speeches, press clippings, research materials, scheduling files, financial and administrative records, diaries, scrapbooks, family papers, photographs, sound recordings, videocasette tapes, and other items documenting the life and career of Allard K.

Buckley Jr., Aaron Henry, Eugene J. McCarthy, Norman C. Thomas, and Hubert H. Humphrey; interests in political and social affairs including civil rights, voter registration, and political reform in the United States and relations with other countries, especially Namibia, Zimbabwe, South Africa, and the Soviet Union; work at Stanford University; anti-Vietnam War activities; the Ditch Johnson campaign; his successful campaign for Congress from the Fifth Congressional District of New York; various unsuccessful political campaigns for United States House and Senate seats from New York; his investigation of the Robert F.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Scope and Content

The Allard K. Lowenstein papers have been arranged into ten series of records, with each series divided further into a number of subseries. Researchers should be sure to check the descriptions of additions received after May 1986 for materials pertinent to their research. These materials have been processed separately and have not been integrated into the original corpus of papers.

The Lowenstein papers were housed originally in more than six hundred cubic foot boxes. Some of the papers had undergone preliminary arrangement, such as United Nations records (Subseries 2.26), congressional papers (Series 4), and several of the campaign and research files (Series 3 and 6, respectively). The vast majority of these records, however, were in no apparent order. Materials within most of the boxes were disordered and were unrelated to one another. Several had been damaged by water, mold, and overall lack of care. For these reasons, the arrangement described above was imposed on the papers. Series of records that had already been arranged to some degree were kept in their original order and incorporated into the above series and subseries.

The records in each series of the Lowenstein papers are interrelated with those in other series. Documentation of Lowenstein's role in the anti-war movement, for example, can be found in every series of the collection. The series and subseries descriptions which follow clarify the various ways in which the contents of materials throughout the collection are interconnected.

Approximately 280 cubic feet of records have been removed from the original collection of Lowenstein's papers. A great majority of these were duplicate materials. Also discarded were materials that are widely available in research libraries, such as complete issues of the New York Times and other newspapers, Life and Look magazines, and United States government documents. Further, newspaper clippings that were unrelated to Lowenstein's activities were removed from the collection. All constituent case files were removed from Lowenstein's congressional papers. Several files of Gregory Stone, Lowenstein's administrative assistant, were removed (for those that were kept in the collection, see especially Subseries 6.2). Some materials were found to be more suitable for other libraries and archives. Finally, several boxes of Lowenstein's personal belongings have been removed from the original collection.

Approximately four cubic feet of records have been placed under restriction. Included among the restricted materials are letters of recommendation, resumes, security classified materials, records on the Robert F. Kennedy assassination study, and a few items which contain confidential or personal information on living individuals. For further information on restricted materials, the researcher should consult the following series and subseries descriptions.

Additions to these papers are described at the end of the inventory.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Series 1. Correspondence, 1940-1980.

About 18,600 items.

Mostly personal correspondence to and from Allard Lowenstein. This correspondence has been divided into two subseries, "General" and "Routine." The general correspondence in Subseries 1.1, which comprises roughly 70% of this series, includes substantive letters to and from Lowenstein. The routine correspondence included in Subseries 1.2 generally consists of greeting cards and brief notes to and from Lowenstein. The researcher should note, however, that people would sometimes write Lowenstein substantive and detailed messages on greeting cards. Therefore a researcher wishing to make a detailed inquiry into Lowenstein's correspondence for a particular period should look both at the general and routine correspondence for that period.

Each subseries in Series 1 is further divided into incoming and outgoing correspondence. All four categories of correspondence general correspondence to Lowenstein, general correspondence from Lowenstein to others, routine correspondence to Lowenstein, and routine correspondence from Lowenstein to others are arranged in chronological order by year, month, and day.

Series 1 consists largely of correspondence that was found loose among the papers, and that does not relate entirely to any subject which is the focus of one of the other series or subseries. Much additional correspondence is elsewhere in the papers. For instance, correspondence relating directly to a particular phase of Lowenstein's career can be found in Series 2. Large amounts of correspondence on the political campaigns in which Lowenstein was involved are located in Series 3.

Series 4, United States Congress, contains 20.5 cubic feet of Lowenstein's congressional correspondence. A significant portion of Lowenstein's congressional correspondence is of a personal nature and is located in Subseries 4.1 since it was originally filed with his congressional papers. As a result, Series 1 contains very little correspondence dating from January 1969 January 1971, the dates of Lowenstein's term in Congress. Correspondence relating to Lowenstein's writings can be found in Series 5. Correspondence requesting Lowenstein to speak is located in Subseries 7.2. Invitations and some correspondence inviting Lowenstein to social and political events is in Subseries 8.4. Finally, correspondence relating to Lowenstein's personal business and financial matters can be found in Subseries 9.3.

Most correspondence outside of Series 1 is the correspondence in Subseries 4.1 and 4.2 of the congressional papers; the campaign correspondence found throughout Series 3; the speaking engagements correspondence in Subseries 7.2; and the correspondence located in Subseries 2.26 (as with the congressional period, both personal and official), which contains Lowenstein's files while he was a representative of the Carter Administration to the United Nations Human Rights Commission.

Please note: In the published guide to the Lowenstein papers, The Allard K. Lowenstein Papers, 1924-1985, researchers will find an index to selected incoming correspondence found in the papers. The index is based largely on the incoming correspondence found in Subseries 1.1. However, the index will also assist researchers in locating the large amounts of correspondence located in other portions of the Lowenstein papers.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 1.1. General Correspondence, 1940-1980.

About 13,000 items.

Arrangement: incoming then outgoing, arranged chronologically.

General correspondence to and from Allard Lowenstein. The majority of Subseries 1.1 consists of incoming correspondence. Outgoing correspondence comprises only one cubic foot. This description of the subseries is divided into separate sections for the incoming and outgoing correspondence. The description for incoming correspondence is broken down into decades.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 1.1.1. Incoming Correspondence, 1940s.

Mostly personal correspondence from Allard Lowenstein's family and friends. Initial correspondence consists primarily of letters from school friends on vacation. Correspondence for the summers of 1943 and 1944, while Lowenstein was at camp, is mostly from family members. Correspondence subsequent to these summers is often from friends Lowenstein met at camp.

Also included in the correspondence between 1941 and 1945 are letters which discuss World War II, with references to difficulties faced by blacks in the Armed Forces. Additionally, Lowenstein's activities at the Horace Mann School for Boys are discussed in the correspondence for this period. After his graduation, Lowenstein maintained correspondence for several years with members of the Horace Mann faculty and staff.

During Lowenstein's years at UNC, 1945 1949, his parents were frequent correspondents. They provided Lowenstein with much advice and news of the family. Also included during this period are several letters from friends and acquaintances relating to Lowenstein's concern for racial equality and integration; his interest in student government activities and the orientation of new students; his opinions regarding Zionism and various national and local political campaigns; and his involvement in the Encampment for Citizenship and the United States National Student Association.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 1.1.2. Incoming Correspondence, 1950s.

Lowenstein's activities and concerns as president of the United States National Student Association are discussed in the correspondence for 1950 and 1951; letters from NSA members and officials can also be found throughout the correspondence for the decade. Also included in the correspondence between 1950 and 1955 are letters concerning Lowenstein's work in the political campaigns of Frank Porter Graham in 1950 and Adlai Stevenson in 1952; Lowenstein's activities while at Yale Law School; his concerns regarding communism, McCarthyism, and academic freedom; his growing friendship with Eleanor Roosevelt; and his service in the United States Army. The incoming correspondence between 1953 and 1955 is unusually sparse, although there is much outgoing correspondence for this period (see folders 552 556).

Included in the correspondence between 1956 and 1959 are letters which discuss Lowenstein's discharge from the Army; his involvement with the Young Democrats in the 1956 presidential campaign; his travels in the United States on behalf of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations; and his appointment as an assistant to Senator Hubert H. Humphrey. The correspondence for 1958 and 1959 discusses Lowenstein's growing interest in South Africa and South West Africa (later Namibia), his first trip to South Africa, the preparations for a clandestine trip to South West Africa, and his subsequent testimony before the United Nations on behalf of the leaders of that territory.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 1.1.3. Incoming Correspondence, 1960s.

Correspondence between 1960 and 1966 includes letters which discuss the writing and publication of Brutal Mandate; Lowenstein's continued interest in South Africa; his growing interest in anti Franco groups in Spain; his appointment and activities as a dean at Stanford University; his civil rights activities in North Carolina and Mississippi while an instructor at North Carolina State University; his concern about United States military participation in Vietnam; and his growing involvement in New York and national politics. The early sixties also mark the beginning of a great deal of correspondence from students, often expressing their opinions regarding national and international affairs and their admiration for Lowenstein; these letters are prevalent throughout the rest of the incoming general correspondence.

Correspondence for 1967 and 1968 includes letters which discuss nationwide anti Vietnam War sentiment and activities; Lowenstein's efforts to prevent President Johnson from being renominated by the Democratic Party; Lowenstein's activities on behalf of Eugene McCarthy's campaign for the presidency; and his own successful campaign for Congress from the Fifth Congressional District of New York. As mentioned above, correspondence for the period while Lowenstein served in Congress, 1969 1970, is sparse. The researcher should refer to Series 4 for the majority of correspondence documenting this period.

Kennedy in the mid 1970s; his United Nations service and travels; and his aid to Edward M. Kennedy's 1980 campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination. As with the congressional period, the correspondence for 1977 and 1978 is very sparse; the researcher should refer to Subseries 2.26 for additional correspondence for this period.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Series 2. Activities Files, 1935-1980.

About 21,600 items.

Arrangement: by activity or organization.

A wide array of records relating to the career of Allard Lowenstein. For separate discussions of the types and contents of records for each category, consult the subseries descriptions and container lists which follow.

The subseries in Series 2 are arranged in the rough order of Lowenstein's participation in the organization or activity. Occasionally, a subseries will overlap chronologically with subsequent subseries. For example, Subseries 2.3 relates to Lowenstein's attendance at the University of North Carolina both as an undergraduate in the late 1940s, and as a graduate student in 1957-1958.

Subseries 2.6, the largest in Series 2, pertains to Lowenstein's various United Nations appointments in the Carter Administration. The next largest group of records, Subseries 2.24, is a set of files relating to Lowenstein's attempts to reopen the investigation of the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. Following these two subseries in size are groups of records on Lowenstein's involvement in Americans for Democratic Action (2.22); his attendance at the University of North Carolina (2.3); his journey in the late 1950s to South West Africa (2.11); his participation in various other activities and organizations over the years (2.29); and his involvement in the United States National Student Association (2.6). Other subseries in Series 2 contains under one cubic foot.

The arrangement of records within each subseries is discussed in the individual subseries descriptions and container lists. For the most part the arrangement was imposed on these records, since they were often drawn together from various locations within the original collection. The most notable exception, however, is Subseries 2.26, the United Nations files, which were kept insofar as possible in their original order.

Additional documentation of Lowenstein's involvement in various activities and organizations over the course of his career is in Series 3, Political Campaigns, and Series 4, United States Congress.

There is correspondence in Series 1 that relates in part to the activities in Series 2.

About 400 items.

School work; copies of Horace Mann publications, and materials on Lowenstein's editorship of The Horace Mann Record; alumni publications, and invitations to alumni affairs; and correspondence and other items that document Allard's experiences at the school.

The school work in Subseries 2.2 predates Lowenstein's attendance at the Horace Mann School, because several of these materials were passed on to Allard by his older brother Larry. Articles by Allard Lowenstein appeared in three of the publications in Subseries 2.2: The Horace Mann Quarterly; The Linguist; and The Horace Mann Record, the student newspaper for which he was editor-in-chief during the 1944-1945 academic year. A bound volume of the Record during Lowenstein's period as editor can be found in folder 24.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 2.3. University of North Carolina, 1945-1950; 1957-1958.

About 1,600 items.

This subseries contains Lowenstein's school work both while he was an undergraduate and while he was in graduate school in history at UNC. Also included are correspondence, minutes, campaign literature, notes, and mimeographed materials that document his participation in student government and in other organizations at UNC; reports, minutes, lists, and other records portraying his involvement in the orientation of new students, first as an orientation counselor in 1947, and then as chair of the Orientation Committee in 1949; and university publications, programs and invitations to meetings, newspaper clippings, and other miscellaneous materials.

The school work, arranged alphabetically by subject, includes class notes and notebooks, course syllabi, essays, and examinations. Since Lowenstein's undergraduate major was history, materials on that subject predominate. The religion notes in folder 58 contain an essay Lowenstein wrote on Zionism. Several of the notebooks included with his school work contain, in addition to class notes, information on Lowenstein's involvement in student government at the University, including student government election statistics (see also folders 72-73).

The materials on student government document issues that concerned many students at UNC in the middle and late 1940s, especially the problem of race. Included among these records are campaign flyers and posters distributed by Lowenstein and other candidates for student government office at UNC.

Subseries 2.3 also documents Lowenstein's involvement in other organizations while he was a student at the University of North Carolina. He was a student representative to the North Carolina Student Legislative Assembly in 1946 and 1949, a founder of the National Conference of Students, and the student representative on the Executive Committee of the North Carolina World Peace Forum. Folder 87 contains a few materials on the possibility of UNC's affiliation with the United States National Student Association.

Lowenstein was also president of the Dialectic Literary Society in 1948-1949. A majority of the materials found in the Lowenstein papers documenting his participation in the Dialectic Society were official records of that organization, and have been transferred to the University Archives: Student Organizations and Activities: Dialectic Literary Society Records. These records, which included minutes, membership rosters, committee reports, resolutions, and correspondence, have been inserted into the Dialectic Literary Society Records for the period from 1945-1948, and are available to the researcher there.

Folder 106 contains a scrapbook of newspaper clippings from the Daily Tar Heel, the UNC student newspaper. Most of the clippings are by, although a few are about, Lowenstein while he was serving on the Editorial Board of the Daily Tar Heel. Included in this scrapbook are a series of columns written by Lowenstein under the title of "Esse Quam Videri."

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 2.4. Encampment for Citizenship, 1947, 1965.

About 600 items.

Questionnaires, correspondence, lists, notes, minutes, newsletters, programs, and printed materials relating to Allard Lowenstein's participation as a camper in the Encampment for Citizenship of 1947, and as director of the New York Encampment in 1965. Lowenstein also served as a member of both the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee after his work as a director.

Included in the records of the 1965 New York Encampment, which comprise a majority of this subseries, are lists of "encampers," memoranda, and budget information in folder 125. Folders 128-129 contain extensive notes of staff members regarding arrangements made for speakers at the 1965 Encampment. The questionnaires in this subseries are often preceded by statistical tallies.

Folder 144 contains minutes of the Board and Executive Committee meetings in which Lowenstein participated or was mentioned. Other minutes and Encampment records that were mailed to Lowenstein, but did not mention him, were removed from the collection. Correspondence and programs relating to a tribute to Lucile Kohn, who was an active member of the Encampment Board and a close friend of Lowenstein, are located in folder 145. Two other Encampment sponsored events in which Lowenstein was involved one of which was a 1969 tribute to him are documented in folder 146. Several invitations to meetings and other Encampment affairs can be found in folder 147; and folders 149-150 contain Encampment alumni materials that mention or shed light on Lowenstein's subsequent involvement in the Encampment for Citizenship.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 2.5. Frank P. Graham Legislative Assistant, 1949-1950.

About 400 items.

Correspondence, speeches, reports, press releases, campaign literature, memoranda, notes, and lists relating to Allard Lowenstein's work as a legislative assistant to North Carolina Senator Frank Porter Graham. This subseries also includes documentation on the 1950 Senate campaign, in which Willis Smith defeated Graham in the second Democratic primary.

The correspondence in this subseries includes letters to the Graham Senate office from constituents, North Carolina politicians, and business and civic leaders from the state. Subjects addressed in the correspondence which consists of letters to both Graham and Lowenstein include constituent matters, legislation, and the Senate campaign. Outgoing letters in response can be found from both Graham and Lowenstein. Often Lowenstein would draft Graham's responses to constituent letters.

The majority of the Graham statements in folders 155-158 is final drafts, and includes carbon and mimeographed copies. There are also drafts of statements with handwritten revisions by Lowenstein. The statements detail positions Graham took while in the Senate and during the campaign on issues of national importance such as communism, race, and the Korean conflict. A few statements of other congressmen on Graham can be found in folder 159.

Folders 165-171 consist entirely of records on the 1950 Senate campaign, although other materials relating to the campaign are located elsewhere in this subseries. "The Case for Frank Graham" was a series of four essays revised, and probably drafted, by Allard Lowenstein. The records in folders 170-171 were housed in a scrapbook compiled by Lowenstein. Included among these records are campaign posters, fliers, circular letters, and press reprints of Graham and Willis Smith. Especially prominent in these records are the charges and counter charges regarding Graham's liberal stance on the issue of race.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 2.6. United States National Student Association, 1950-1967.

About 800 items.

Correspondence, minutes, reports, memoranda, speeches, notes, and printed materials relating to the United States National Student Association. Approximately half the records in Subseries 2.6 pertains to the period 1950-1951, during which Allard Lowenstein served as president of the organization. The rest of the records in this subseries date from after Lowenstein's presidency. Some of the subjects documented in these NSA records are anti-communism, academic freedom, race, and the NSA's affiliation with international student organizations.

The correspondence in this subseries is mostly official correspondence to and from Lowenstein while he was president of NSA. Included among the other presidential records is a notebook of official NSA material - circular letters, reports, and newsletters - distributed while Lowenstein was president (folder 178). Folders 185-191 contain information on several conferences in which Lowenstein participated while he was president of NSA.

One of the most significant of these conferences was the initial meeting of the International Student Conference, held in Stockholm in December 1950. Hosted by three Scandinavian countries and attended by delegates from 21 nations, the International Student Conference was a gathering of students who had become disgruntled with the direction taken by the more left wing International Union of Students. The NSA was among the national student organizations represented at Stockholm which opposed the direction in which the IUS was heading. The documentation in folders 186-189, which includes a pamphlet containing the text of a speech made by Lowenstein at the Stockholm conference, is significant because it indicates the NSA's outlook on international affairs and opposition to communism at a critical point in the organization's early history.

The records that date from after Lowenstein's presidency of the NSA, arranged chronologically, include agenda, minutes, reports, press releases, and notes pertaining mostly to the annual National Student Congresses of the NSA. Lowenstein continued to attend these congresses, gave speeches, and worked with students on issues that concerned them.

The post presidential records also contain information on several of the controversies surrounding the NSA. The 1953 records, for example, document attacks on the NSA made by Students for America, which charged the NSA with being "leftist dominated." Also documented are attacks on the NSA from more radical student organizations, especially after the disclosure in 1967 of a connection between the NSA and the Central Intelligence Agency. Most of the 1967 records, in fact, relate to allegations of CIA funding of NSA programs, and Lowenstein's denial of any such connection while he was president of the organization. For the draft of a 1967 statement by Lowenstein regarding the NSA CIA connection, see Subseries 5.1, Writings by Lowenstein.

About 600 items.

School work, grade reports, questionnaires, correspondence, programs, and legal briefs pertaining to Allard Lowenstein's years as a law student at Yale University. The school work notebooks, assignments, case books, and essays is arranged chronologically in the order of the courses Lowenstein took in law school, with miscellaneous undated items following those that have been dated. The notebooks consist largely of class notes, but also contain other kinds of entries, including vote totals for the 1952 presidential campaign (see also 3.1, Students for Stevenson). Folder 219 contains a legal brief Lowenstein wrote for Yale's Moot Court competition on a case involving racial discrimination in education.

Lowenstein was a resident counselor in the 1953 academic year for the orientation program at Yale, which was called "The Freshman Year." In addition to memoranda, reports, lists, and notes regarding the program, there are multiple copies of two questionnaires distributed to Yale freshmen which reveal much about student attitudes on sexual relations and on communism.

There are a few items relating to Lowenstein's work as a community counselor for the Yale Summer High School program in 1965. Records documenting the teaching position Lowenstein held at Yale University in 1971 are in Subseries 2.21.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 2.11. South West Africa, 1954-1963.

About 1,400 items.

United Nations documents, correspondence, press statements, and conference proceedings and reports that document Allard Lowenstein's 1959 trip to South West Africa to investigate conditions there. Lowenstein was accompanied on the trip by Emory Bundy and Sherman Bull, and the three men returned to testify before the United Nations Fourth Committee studying conditions in South West Africa. Lowenstein wrote of their experiences in South West Africa in Brutal Mandate: A Journey to South West Africa, a book published in 1962.

The bulk of the records in Subseries 2.11 are United Nations documents on South West Africa, which are arranged in chronological order: statements, testimony, press releases, reports, resolutions, and official printed records of Fourth Committee sessions. Although the testimony of Lowenstein, Bundy and Bull appears only in the September-October 1959 records of the UN, all UN documents were kept together in Subseries 2.11 to provide the researcher some context on the problems they investigated in South West Africa. Records regarding two student conferences Lowenstein attended in South West Africa can be found in folders 268-269; two programs in which Lowenstein reported their findings shortly after the trip are located in folders 270-271. See Series 10, Subseries 2 for sound recordings of Lowenstein, Bundy and Bull's UN testimony as well as testimony of Africans recorded by Lowenstein.

Several other records relating to Lowenstein's work and interest in Africa are elsewhere in the collection. Research materials on Africa, many of which Lowenstein probably collected in connection with the 1959 trip, are in Series 6, Research Files. Subseries 6.1 also includes the files of Ethel Grossman, Lowenstein's secretary with whom he worked very closely on Brutal Mandate, civil rights, and his congressional campaigns in the 1960s. The researcher interested in Lowenstein's involvement in African affairs should also consult the files in Subseries 5.1 on Brutal Mandate, and the speeches in Subseries 7.3 for the late 1950s and early 1960s.

Correspondence, university publications, memoranda and reports, and teaching materials relating to Lowenstein's year at Sanford University, during which he was a faculty member in the Political Science Department, and served as assistant dean of men and as director of Stern Hall, a residence hall for male students. These files documents such topics as Lowenstein's handling of student problems; tensions which emerged between students and the University's administration; controversies regarding fraternities on campus; faculty and staff matters; and housing problems at Stern Hall.

Lowenstein taught courses on Africa and on international law, and the teaching materials in folders 318-320 include course syllabi, reading lists, examinations, lists of student and seating charts, and some of Lowenstein's teaching notes. The university publications include student and faculty newsletters, freshman handbooks, Stern Hall handbooks, and a student directory.

About 400 items.

Teaching materials, departmental reports and memoranda, correspondence, questionnaires, and records relating to Lowenstein's interest in civil rights in the Raleigh area while he was a faculty member in the Social Science Department at North Carolina State University.

While he was at N.C. State, Lowenstein was controversial because of his participation in efforts to desegregate public facilities in Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill, and because of his involvement in the civil rights movement in Mississippi. Folder 348 includes documentation on a Raleigh civil rights organization in which Lowenstein was involved. Included among the miscellaneous records in folder 351 is an item that reveals plans for Lowenstein and Jesse Helms to write opposing articles for a Christian journal during the 1964 political campaign.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 2.14. Civil Rights Movement, 1963-1964.

About 400 items.

Press releases, reports, correspondence, memoranda, lists of names, and mimeographed materials documenting Lowenstein's participation in the civil rights movement in Mississippi. Over half the records in Subseries 2.14 relate to the organization of the November 1963 mock election vote for Aaron Henry, a black Clarksdale pharmacist whose campaign for governor of Mississippi inspired many blacks across the state to register to vote. Lowenstein was on Henry's "advisory committee," and recruited college students - especially from Stanford and Yale - to come to Mississippi in order to aid with black voter registration.

There are also several records on the Mississippi Summer Project of 1964, a joint effort by a number of civil rights organizations to continue registering blacks, and to open freedom schools and community centers across the state. A number of northern and western student volunteers participated in this project as well, although in this subseries there is less information on recruitment of students for this latter project than for the Freedom Vote campaign. There are also a few items relating to the challenge by the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party to unseat the regular, all-white Mississippi delegation at the Democratic National Convention in August 1964 (see also Subseries 3.15).

Further information on the civil rights movement can be found in the "Civil rights" files in Subseries 6.1.

About 100 items.

Circular letters, reports, press releases, correspondence, and publications distributed by Americans for a Reappraisal of Far Eastern Policy, an organization founded at the 18th National Congress of the United States National Student Association in 1965. Lowenstein was among the adult founders of the organization, whose purpose was to redefine American foreign policy objectives in the Far East, and especially to encourage both a cease fire in Vietnam and American diplomatic recognition of mainland China. Aside from Lowenstein, others involved in the organization were the Reverent William Sloane Coffin, Jr., Michael Harrington, and Norman Thomas.

Reports, circular letters, memoranda, press reports, and testimony relating to the Committee on Free Elections in the Dominican Republic, whose purpose was to ensure that the elections there in June 1966 would be democratic. Lowenstein, a member of the Committee, traveled to the Dominican Republic to monitor the elections as an independent observer in the late Spring of 1966. He also collected testimony from people who were involved in Dominican political affairs (folder 393). Norman Thomas was spokesman for the Committee, and others documented in this subseries who were active in the organization include Bayard Rustin and Fred Goff, a former student of Lowenstein at Stanford.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 2.17. National Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy, 1960; 1966-1976.

About 150 items.

Memoranda, correspondence, circular letters, minutes, reports, and leaflets and flyers that chronicle Allard Lowenstein's participation in the National Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy (SANE). Lowenstein first became involved in SANE activities during the organization's 1960 Campaign for Disarmament, the purpose of which was to propose arms control and promote improved Soviet-American relations. In 1966, Lowenstein was elected to SANE's National Board of Directors, and served on the Board until approximately 1976. Folders 400-403 include Board minutes, agenda, statements, directories, and other mailings relating to support for the "Dump Johnson" movement in which Lowenstein was active, as well as a couple of items on the organization's presentation of the 1971 Eleanor Roosevelt Peace Award to Lowenstein.

Approximately half a cubic foot of materials, which Lowenstein collected, but which are unrelated to his involvement in SANE, have been transferred to the SANE archives at the Swarthmore College Peace Collection in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 2.18. Southern Christian Leadership Conference, 1967-1980.

About 100 items.

Reports, annual meeting agendas and brochures, correspondence, circular letters, memoranda, and other materials relating to Lowenstein's service on the Board of Directors of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Lowenstein, who was the first white member appointed to the SCLC Board, participated in a few of the SCLC's annual meetings, and made donations to the organization. These are the two primary aspects of his participation documented in Subseries 2.18. Although this subseries contains records dating up to the time of Lowenstein's death in 1980, his involvement in SCLC activities apparently subsided in the early-mid 1970s.

About one cubic foot of materials collected by Lowenstein has been transferred to the archives of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change in Atlanta, Georgia. These include records of the SCLC, as well as civil rights records of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, the Congress of Racial Equality, and the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party. Records transferred also include many relating to the King Center itself. (For further information on Lowenstein's membership on the King Center's Board of Trustees, the researcher should consult Subseries 2.29.)

About 150 items.

Reports, press releases, newsletters, campaign literature, financial records, and handwritten notes documenting Lowenstein's trip to South Vietnam as an independent observer of the elections held there in early September of 1967. President Johnson had appointed a commission to observe the Vietnamese elections, but Lowenstein was not included in this commission. A manifesto including handwritten revisions by Lowenstein can be found in folder 421; although the purpose for its having been drafted is unclear, it reflects the views of those opposed to the Johnson Administration's insistence that the elections were fair and democratic.

The bulk of the records in this subseries are background research materials Lowenstein received on the Vietnamese elections, and on the progress of the war during this period.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 2.22. Americans for Democratic Action, 1947-1957; 1966-1980.

About 2,000 items.

Correspondence, memoranda, minutes, publications, and other records relating to Allard Lowenstein's work on behalf of Americans for Democratic Action. Lowenstein first became involved in the organization--especially the student group called Students for Democratic Action--at the time of its formation in 1947. The bulk of the records in Subseries 2.22, however, date from 1966, when Lowenstein became a vice-chair and a member of ADA's National Board. Much of this subseries deals with Lowenstein's term as national chair for ADA from 1971-1973.

Subseries 2.22 contains a large number of administrative records such as memoranda, personnel lists, financial records, and meeting minutes of the ADA National Board, National Executive Committee, and annual conventions. There are also records pertaining to organizations affiliated with ADA, especially the New York chapter of ADA. The records for both the national organization and the New York chapter include several publications that document the shifts in ADA's policy priorities from the late 1960s through the early 1970s. Prominent among the topics covered in this subseries during Lowenstein's tenure as vice chair, Board member, and national chair are Vietnam, the "Dump Johnson" movement, civil rights, economic policy, Democratic Party reform, the registration of young voters , the McGovern presidential campaign of 1972, and the Middle East.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 2.24. Robert F. Kennedy Assassination Study, 1975-1976.

About 3,400 items.

Drafts and final copies of writings, reports, memoranda, correspondence, press clippings, affidavits and other legal records, and notes that pertain to the involvement of Allard Lowenstein and others in the effort to reopen the investigation into the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. The primary impetus to reopen this investigation came in the mid 1970s, approximately seven years after Kennedy's death.

Lowenstein became involved in the investigation to the extent that he both wrote a great deal on the assassination and presented his views before the press. Subseries 2.24 contains drafts, chapter outlines, and other records relating to a book Lowenstein was planning and writing on the Kennedy assassination, but which was never published. Documentation on several other articles Lowenstein wrote during this period which were published can be found in Subseries 5.1, Writings by Lowenstein. This subseries contains, in addition to records on the Robert Kennedy assassination, several files on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

The files that constitute this subseries were largely reconstructed from files created on the Kennedy assassination investigation by Gregory Stone, Lowenstein's administrative assistant. The researcher will find that Stone's influence permeates the structure and content of these files, as is the case with the political campaign files for the 1970s (Series 3) and the research files for the 1970s (Series 6).

For a brief time, Lowenstein acted as a political and legislative consultant to Brown's office on such matters as the structure of state government, the organization of an intern program at the office, and the possibility of a presidential bid by Brown in 1976 (see also Subseries 3.15).

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 2.26. United Nations Appointments, 1977-1978.

About 7,000 items.

Arrangement: original order of files, by topic.

Correspondence; memoranda and reports; official United Nations and United States Government documents such as press releases, telegrams, reports, and memoranda; telephone messages and rough notes; and foreign press clippings on Lowenstein while he served as an American representative to the United Nations during the Carter Administration.

President Carter first named Lowenstein the United States Representative to the United Nations Human Rights Commission in Geneva in February 1977. In August 1977, Lowenstein was appointed Ambassador to the United Nations for Special Political Affairs and United States Representative to the United Nations Trusteeship Council. The files in Subseries 2.26, which have been kept insofar as possible in their original order, relate to both of Lowenstein's United Nations appointments.

A set of personal files (folders 770-852) includes much of the personal correspondence Lowenstein received in 1977-1978. It is for this reason that a gap exists in the Series 1 correspondence for these two years. Other types of correspondence - such as congratulatory mail, thank-you letters, and letters requesting Lowenstein to speak - can also be found in the United Nations personal files. In fact, speaking and other scheduling files comprise roughly half of the personal files.

Administrative files (folders 853-887) include information relating to Lowenstein's official United Nations duties. The series of files on Lowenstein's official United Nations trips (folders 888-897) include information on the arrangements and results of these trips. Further, these files contain foreign press clippings on Lowenstein's travels for the United Nations (these were photocopied and interfiled in Subseries 5.2). The next two brief sets of files--those on Conferences (folders 898-907) and Cables (folders 908-910)--relate chiefly to Lowenstein's appointment to the United Nations Human Rights Commission in Geneva.

The next set of United Nations files, simply labeled "People" (folders 911-983), contains mostly correspondence and primarily involves individuals who brought their cases regarding human rights violations before the United Nations. Also included are friends and acquaintances of Lowenstein. The next few sets of files contain chiefly printed materials and some correspondence relating to several different types of human rights and other organizations.

Folders 1099-1171, Countries, include correspondence, printed materials, and United Nations and United States Government documents on human rights in specific countries. The largest amounts of material can be found on Micronesia, Guam, South Africa, Northern Ireland, and the Soviet Union.

Another short set of files (folders 1172-1182) contains further information on press coverage of Lowenstein and of the United Nations' emphasis on human rights problems. Folders 1183-1227 contain printed materials, correspondence, and other records pertaining to various issues of concern to Lowenstein and to the United Nations during this period.

The United Nations files in Subseries 2.26 originally contained several security-classified documents, many from the United States Department of State. These documents were sent to the National Archives in Washington, D.C., where they either remained as classified or were declassified and returned to the collection. Classified materials were declassified and returned to the collection in 2017 and are now filed in Subseries 2.26A United Nations Appointments: Declassified Documents (Addition of January 2018).

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Series 3. Political Campaigns, 1942-1980.

About 25,200 items.

Arrangement: chronological by campaign.

Campaign literature, correspondence, contact lists and contribution lists, memoranda, position papers, press releases, research materials, maps, statistics, and legal and financial records on the several political campaigns in which Lowenstein was involved. The subseries in this series are defined by local, state, or national political campaign, and are arranged chronologically. Subseries 3.15 contains documentation on campaigns other than the major ones in which Lowenstein was involved.

Approximately one third of Series 3 consists of records relating to Lowenstein's unsuccessful 1972 congressional campaign in Brooklyn (Subseries 3.10). The next largest group of records, Subseries 3.6, documents the "Dump Johnson" movement. For Lowenstein's congressional campaigns in the 1970s, the nature and scope of the materials are similar. The researcher should consult the description of Subseries 3.7 below for further information on the nature and arrangement of Lowenstein's congressional campaign materials.

Additional documentation on the political campaigns in which Lowenstein participated is located elsewhere in the collection. The pre-congressional research files in Subseries 6.1 contain extensive information on the New York Democratic reform movement (see also Subseries 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5). Subseries 6.2, post-congressional research files, contains campaign-related files on Lowenstein's various opponents, including Norman Lent (Subseries 3.8), John Rooney (3.10), Jacob Javits (3.11), John Wydler (3.12 and 3.13), and Carter Burden (3.14). Scheduling materials related to the campaigns are available in Series 8. Campaign buttons are located in Subseries 9.5.

Other pertinent materials on the political campaigns in which Lowenstein was involved are located in Series 5 (writings and press clippings), Series 7 (speeches and interviews), and Series 10 (photographs and audio tapes).

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 3.1. Students for Stevenson, 1952.

800 items.

Correspondence, name lists, campaign literature and press releases, and questionnaires that document the 1952 presidential campaign of Adlai E. Stevenson. Fully half the records in this subseries are the correspondence sent to Allard Lowenstein, who was chair of a campaign organization called Students for Stevenson, and to other people in this campaign office. Much of this correspondence includes lists of suggested names of people on college campuses across the country who were supporters of Stevenson. There are carbon copies of outgoing letters of the Students for Stevenson office, as well as circular letters sent out by Lowenstein as chair of the organization. Fuller lists of the college students contracted by the office can be found in folders 16-21.

This subseries includes campaign records of the Young Democratic Clubs of America, the organization for which Lowenstein worked during the campaign; the Stevenson, Kefauver, and Eisenhower national campaign organizations; and the Democratic National Committee. As is the case with the 1952 Stevenson campaign files, many of these records reflect Lowenstein's involvement in campaign issues, his interest in voting statistics, and his political contacts on college campuses across the country.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 3.3. New York Reform Democrats, 1960.

About 300 items.

Campaign literature, circular letters, memoranda, press releases, and a variety of other materials pertaining to Lowenstein's participation in various New York political campaigns in 1960. While he was still a foreign policy assistant to Hubert Humphrey, Lowenstein began to consider running for office in New York under the aegis of the Reform Democrats.

Lowenstein first considered running for the United States Congress against incumbent Ludwig Teller in the 20th District of New York. After deciding against entering that race, Lowenstein made an unsuccessful attempt in the Democratic primary to gain the seat held by John H. Farrell in the 25th Senatorial District of the New York State Senate. Later in 1960, Lowenstein served as campaign chair of the successful challenge to Teller by William Fitts Ryan, another of the New York Democratic party's reform candidates.

In 1960, Lowenstein was elected as an alternate delegate from the New York delegation to the Democratic National Convention (see Subseries 3.15). The vote totals for Lowenstein's election as a delegate are found in folder 62. For further information on Lowenstein's interest and active participation in the New York Reform Democratic movement in the early-mid 1960s, see especially the materials found under that heading in Subseries 6.1.

About 250 items.

Campaign literature, correspondence, lists, memoranda, programs and invitations, notes, and other materials on Lowenstein's unsuccessful campaign to be the Reform Democratic candidate for Congress from New York's 19th District. After Lowenstein lost to Ted Weiss in the Democratic primary in March, his name was mentioned by the Reform Independent Democrats as a possible reform candidate for the 17th District seat (see folder 86). Lowenstein removed his name from consideration for the latter seat, and supported Weiss in his unsuccessful bid to unseat the incumbent congressman in the 19th District, Leonard Farbstein.

Subseries 3.5 includes Lowenstein's campaign literature, especially circular letters, biographical sketches, press reprints, leaflets, and statements reviewing his positions on issues including Vietnam, housing, and poverty; and campaign literature on Lowenstein's Reform Democratic opponents, especially Ted Weiss (whose literature includes a letter of endorsement by Lowenstein and the other reform candidates). The miscellaneous records in folders 87-88 include handwritten notes by Lowenstein, election statistics, Lowenstein campaign stationery, and research materials on other candidates and their positions on issues. As with Subseries 3.3 and 3.4, the researcher can find other records documenting Lowenstein's involvement in the New York Reform Democratic movement in Subseries 6.1.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 3.6. Dump Johnson, 1968.

About 2,600 items.

Correspondence, campaign literature, press clippings and press releases, reports, minutes, and other records relating to the organization of the widespread movement within the Democratic Party to deny President Lyndon B. Johnson the presidential nomination in 1968. The majority of the records in Subseries 3.6 date from August 1968, the time of the Democratic National Convention, or earlier.

Lowenstein was involved in this movement, which was nicknamed "Dump Johnson," from the Summer of 1966. It was at that time, and especially during the annual congress of the United States National Student Association, that students began to organize a letter writing campaign to the Johnson Administration in order to protest the escalation of the conflict in Vietnam. Folders 97-104 contain a great deal of information on the letter-writing campaign of student body presidents from colleges and universities throughout the country. These files document the events surrounding a meeting that grew out of this campaign between several student leaders and Secretary of State Dean Rusk; they also document the fact that Lowenstein was involved in helping the student leaders draft their letters to President Johnson and to Rusk. Other letter-writing campaigns which grew out of that of the student body presidents are also documented in Subseries 3.6. Information on a group that acted as a clearinghouse for these letter-writing activities, the Campus Coordinating Committee, can be found especially in the student body president files and in folder 108.

Folders 109-131 document a variety of national and state Democratic organizations formed to oppose Johnson's renomination and, following his withdrawal from the race in March 1968, to support Eugene J. McCarthy or Robert F. Kennedy in their races against Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey. Those organizations in which Lowenstein was most involved include the Conference of Concerned Democrats, and the New York organizations documented in folders 116-118.

Lowenstein was also involved in an organization called the Coalition for an Open Convention, and much documentation of this organization can be found in folders 153-178 of this subseries. The COC files include, for example, information on a conference of the Coalition held in Chicago in late June 1968; the organization of state and regional COC groups; events leading up to the Democratic National Convention in August; and a law suit filed by the COC against the Chicago Park District for its failure to grant a permit for a peaceful demonstration in Chicago during the convention. The records on the law suit include some COC documentation, especially financial records, not found in the other COC materials.

Subseries 3.6 also includes records relating to the Democratic National Convention. A series of state files that were compiled before and during the convention, probably by the COC, document the effort by the supporters of McCarthy and other peace candidates at the convention to overturn Humphrey's nomination. The correspondence, newspaper clippings, and delegate lists in the state files reveal further information about the organization of COC groups at the state level.

Also included in this subseries are press releases, campaign literature, and other records relating to the presidential campaign of Eugene McCarthy. The emphasis in these files is on the organization of the McCarthy campaign in New York, and on the New Hampshire primary, which immediately preceded Johnson's announcement not to run for reelection. There is less comprehensive documentation of the other Democratic candidates' presidential campaigns in folders 147-152.

A run of press clippings on the entire "Dump Johnson" movement can be found in folders 243-275. These include clippings originally housed in a "Dump Johnson" scrapbook compiled by Lowenstein (folder 243; for other clippings on Lowenstein's role in the "Dump Johnson" movement, see also the clippings for 1967 and 1968 in Subseries 5.2); a chronologically arranged run of general clippings on the movement (folders 244-252); and a series of subject files collected by Lowenstein's staff on several aspects of the 1968 presidential campaign (folders 253-275).

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 3.7. New York 5th Congressional District, 1968.

About 800 items.

Correspondence, campaign literature, speeches and statements, lists, instructions to campaign workers, and other records relating to Lowenstein's successful campaign for Congress in 1968. Lowenstein defeated Albert Vorspan in the Democratic primary, and then won the election in November over Republican candidate Mason Hampton.

The records for this campaign and for subsequent campaigns in which Lowenstein ran in the 1970s have been divided into categories according to types of records. This arrangement was necessitated by the fact that very few of the campaign files have been found in their original form. The following comments on these categories of campaign records apply to this and all subsequent Lowenstein congressional campaigns.

The correspondence generally relates to contributions sent to Lowenstein's campaign, and other routine campaign matters such as letters of endorsement, congratulatory or condolence messages, and the ordering of supplies. The campaign literature includes flyers, posters, form letters and mimeographed letters that were circulated widely, article reprints, bumper stickers, biographies of Lowenstein, quotations about Lowenstein, and layouts, sketches, and drafts of campaign literature. Press releases publicize Lowenstein's campaign appearances and his positions on the major issues of a campaign.

The position papers, statements, and research materials reflect much about the issues Lowenstein emphasized in running for office, and differences and occasional similarities between his own positions and those of his opponents. Contributions are usually lists which indicate the name and address of contributors, and amounts they gave to Lowenstein's campaign. Several of the campaigns include information on the congressional district in which Lowenstein was running, such as maps, census information on voters, and election statistics.

The Lowenstein campaign materials usually contain a set of "administrative files" as well. These files include interoffice memoranda, and memoranda from campaign aides to Lowenstein; instructions to Lowenstein election workers, poll watchers, and workers in many of the "storefront" locations Lowenstein would open within the district; personal and media lists; financial and legal records relating to the leasing of office space, the filing of petitions for Lowenstein's nomination, and the routine operations of the campaign (financial records have often been sampled in order to reduce the large bulk of bills and receipts); and miscellaneous materials such as notes, lists, and blank stationery and office forms. The researcher should further note that files kept on Lowenstein's opponents in each campaign have been transferred to Series 6, Research Files.

The correspondence and other records relating to Lowenstein's successful campaign for Congress in 1968 reflect the fact that several people supported Lowenstein, among other reasons, because of his role in influencing the course of the 1968 Democratic presidential campaign (see also Subseries 3.6). In fact, the Lowenstein campaign office in 1968 was also working actively for the presidential campaign of Eugene McCarthy.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 3.8. New York 5th Congressional District, 1970.

About 1,800 items.

Correspondence, campaign literature, statements, statistical records, and name lists that document Lowenstein's unsuccessful bid for reelection against Norman Lent in 1970. This subseries contains a great deal of information on Lowenstein's district, especially in folders 330-376. The primary set of district files, contained in folders 343-376, includes lists of key people census information, maps, and election results for both 1968 and 1970 for each township of the district. These files are arranged in numerical order by assembly district within the congressional district, and then alphabetically by township. Folders 380-393 contain much information on the volunteers, most of whom were college students, who worked for Lowenstein's reelection.

A few additional materials relating to Lowenstein's 1970 congressional campaign can be found in Series 4.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 3.9. Dump Nixon, 1971-1972.

About 1,000 items.

Printed materials, press clippings, correspondence, lists, and other records that pertain to the organization and activities of the youth voter registration movement that accompanied the passage in 1971 of the 26th Amendment, which gave eighteen year-olds the right to vote. The movement to register young voters also became in part a protest movement popularly known as a program to "dump Nixon." In addition to Lowenstein (just elected chair of ADA at the time), other Democratic politicians and the most notable Republican challenger to the President Representative Paul N. McCloskey of California became involved in the youth voter registration drive.

Several organizations were formed to register young people and encourage them to participate in the 1972 elections. Several of these are documented in folders 442-453. Over half the records in Subseries 3.9 (the majority of materials in folders 406-441) relate to a loosely organized coalition of state organizations known collectively as the Registration Summer project (also known as "Countdown 72"). More specific information on the organization of this project at the state level is available in the state files (folders 420-441).

Folders 454-462 contain campaign literature and other records regarding the candidacies of several of the 1972 presidential aspirants.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 3.10. New York 14th Congressional District, 1972.

About 9,400 items.

Correspondence, campaign literature, research materials, and court records pertaining to Lowenstein's unsuccessful 1972 campaign for Congress in Brooklyn's 14th Congressional District. Approximately three-fourths of the records in this subseries relate to a series of suits brought by Lowenstein against his opponent, incumbent Democrat John J. Rooney.

The Democratic primary election in June 1972, won by Rooney, was marked by widespread irregularities throughout the 14th District. On appeal from the Lowenstein campaign, the New York State Court of Appeals ordered a new primary election to be held in September. Rooney won this court ordered rerun as well as the general election in November.

Subseries 3.10 contains several sets of files, most of them arranged in alphabetical order, on this series of court cases (folders 564-848). Included among these records are several kinds of background research materials, affidavits, tally sheets and statistics, petitions, and forms and other records documenting the different irregularities at the polls. These records relate not only to the 1972 state court case, but also to a subsequent suit brought by Lowenstein in the federal court system against Rooney and members of the Nixon Administration for their alleged collusion in White House intelligence gathering activities directed at Lowenstein.

In addition to records relating to these court cases, Subseries 3.10 includes a great deal of information on contributions to the Lowenstein campaign and on the establishment of organizations related to the campaign such as the Committee for Fair Elections and the Committee for Honest Elections. Campaign literature in this subseries is in English, Spanish, Polish, and a few other languages. There is also documentation in this subseries on Brooklyn, such as a number of maps and statistics which reveal extensive demographic and political information on the 14th District.

A series of administrative files (folders 532-563) document the workings of Lowenstein's 1972 campaign. Included in these files are detailed instructions to campaign workers regarding the operation of storefront offices in communities throughout Brooklyn, canvassing of voters, and poll watching during the elections.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Series 4. United States Congress, 1969-1970.

About 38,400 items.

Personal correspondence, constituent correspondence files, district files, House committee files, legislation, press files, and administrative files documenting Allard Lowenstein's two year term in Congress from 1969-1970. These congressional records have been arranged into seven subseries according to the types of files that were kept in Lowenstein's congressional office in Washington, D.C. and his district office in Baldwin, New York. The researcher should consult the individual subseries descriptions that follow for a more complete description of the contents of each.

Certain types of files and records were removed from Lowenstein's congressional materials. These consist largely of constituent case files removed for reasons of confidentiality, such as military, social security, and immigration case files. Also removed were government documents and other publications that are widely available.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 4.1. Personal Correspondence, 1969-1970.

About 1,000 items.

Arrangement: chronological.

Correspondence and enclosures, both to and from Allard Lowenstein while he was a member of the House of Representatives. This correspondence was originally kept in Lowenstein's congressional office files, and therefore has been filed as a subseries along with the remainder of his congressional records. The researcher should note that the correspondence in this subseries fills in the gaps in Series 1 for the years 1969 and 1970.

Correspondence in Subseries 4.1 is from friends, family members, congressmen, and other public officials. This correspondence was marked "personal" by Lowenstein's staff, although it includes both personal messages and substantive correspondence dealing with legislative efforts. In contrast, the correspondence in Subseries 4.2 pertains to specific legislative proposals, and is primarily, though not entirely, in the form of circular letters or pressure mail.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 4.2. Constituent Correspondence, 1969-1970.

About 15,400 items.

Arrangement: by sets of files.

Correspondence and enclosures from Allard Lowenstein's constituents regarding domestic and foreign policy issues, congressional legislation, and issues of concern to the residents of the New York metropolitan area. This subseries is arranged into six sets of files that were kept in both Lowenstein's Washington office and his district office in Baldwin, New York. These sets of files, and their probable original locations, are as follows:

  • General files (Washington)
  • Legislative files (Washington)
  • Department and agency files (Washington)
  • Baldwin office files (Baldwin)
  • Alphabetical files (Washington)
  • Chronological files (Baldwin)

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 4.2.1. General Files.

About 4,000 items.

The correspondence in these files pertains to general issues of interest to constituents while Lowenstein was in Congress. The files also document some of the routine functions of Lowenstein's congressional office. The researcher should note that congratulatory messages were sampled (the numbers in brackets after files 85-88 indicate number of letters that were kept out of the original number that existed). All routine requests in both the general files and the Baldwin office files have been discarded. However, a record of all sampled or discarded constituent correspondence can be found in the alphabetical files and the chronological files (see descriptions below).

The researcher may wish to use the general files in conjunction with the legislative files and the Baldwin office files, since several of the topics in the three sets of files overlap. For example, the bulk of the constituent correspondence on the Vietnam conflict is located in the general files, but the legislative files contain more correspondence on Vietnam, and all correspondence on the invasion of Cambodia. As another example, correspondence on abortion can be found in all three sets of files.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 4.3. District files, 1969-1970.

About 6,000 items.

Arrangement: by topic within sets of files.

A wide variety of records pertaining to the Fifth Congressional District of New York, the district Lowenstein represented while he was a congressman. The categories of materials found in this subseries were established because they all related in some way to Lowenstein's district and to his constituents. The sets of files that have been reconstructed, such as the organization files and the local issues files, were pulled together to reflect as nearly as possible their original order.

Folders 813-880 contain constituent guest lists, invitations, press releases, and other promotional material, correspondence, and background notes on a series of district forums and hearings Lowenstein held for his constituents while he was in office. The bi-weekly forums included guest panelists, often of national prominence, who represented different opinions on both national and local issues. Although he occasionally participated in these forums, Lowenstein's role was usually to introduce the speakers and to make concluding remarks at the end of the forum. These files also include documentation of two series of hearings Lowenstein held in his district, one upon his election and the other after his first year in office, to give constituents an opportunity to express their concerns; and an annual report Lowenstein made to his constituents in early 1970. Sound recordings for many of the forums and hearings Lowenstein held are located in Subseries 10.2 (transcripts for some of the tapes are in Subseries 7.4).

Folders 881-937 include the responses from four sets of questionnaires Lowenstein distributed to constituents during his term in Congress. The September 1970 questionnaires are arranged by the township of the respondents. While the January 1970 questionnaire requests responses about Lowenstein's effectiveness as a congressman, the other three ask questions on national issues such as the Anti-Ballistic Missile System, student unrest, and the Vietnam War. The completed questionnaires often contain remarks from constituents; remarks and tallies made by Lowenstein's staff sometimes accompany the questionnaires.

The project files in folders 938-948 contain correspondence, memoranda, and grant proposals regarding a variety of projects undertaken in Lowenstein's district for which assistance was sought from his congressional office. The organization files (folders 949-994) include correspondence, circular letters, brochures, and other records relating to organizations which were contacting Lowenstein while he was in office. The organizations documented in these files include both groups based in Lowenstein's district and national organizations.

The local issues files in folders 995-1152 include reports, statements, correspondence, press clippings, notes, and other research materials, and are similar in nature to the Committee files of Subseries 4.4. However, the files in this subseries document local issues important to Lowenstein's district, while Subseries 4.4 documents issues of national significance. A large amount of materials can be found in this subseries regarding a proposed gas pipeline on Long Island and jet noise in the New York metropolitan area. The files also document controversies surrounding Lowenstein: his attempted resignation; disagreements with the Oceanside School Board; and a controversial cartoon of Lowenstein which appeared in the Lawrence High School yearbook.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 4.4. Committee Files, 1969-1970.

About 7,600 items.

Arrangement: alphabetical by House committee.

Reports, government documents, publications, drafts and final copies of statements, handwritten notes, newspaper clippings, correspondence, and memoranda that relate primarily to the work of Lowenstein's congressional office on issues of national scope. These files, which are arranged by the House committee responsible for dealing with legislation on specific issues, were prepared mostly by legislative assistants and interns in the office for the purposes of conducting background research, preparing this research for Lowenstein's use in statements on the House floor, and formulating his positions on the wide range of issues in which his constituents expressed interest.

Although many statements can be found in these files, the researcher should also consult speeches and statements found in Subseries 4.6, Press files. As is the case with the research files in Series 6, Lowenstein often relied on background research materials like those found in this subseries to speak extemporaneously on an issue without any prepared text. Therefore, although drafts of statements do not exist for many of Lowenstein's speeches, these committee files reflect much about his point of view on the issues.

The committees for which the most documentation can be found in Subseries 4.4 are the Foreign Affairs Committee, the Agriculture Committee (Lowenstein's major committee assignment during his two year term), the Judiciary Committee, the Armed Services Committee, and the Interstate Commerce Committee. The Foreign Affairs Committee files reflect Lowenstein's ongoing concern about international affairs: especially the outbreak of the Nigerian civil war, the formation of Biafra, and the organization of relief efforts to ease starvation there; the Vietnam conflict, and anti war efforts both within and outside the House of Representatives; the problems of apartheid and government repression in South Africa, as well as the American government's stance toward that nation's government; the establishment of American military bases in Spain; and the continuing tensions in the Middle East. The Foreign Affairs Committee files are a useful resource on Lowenstein's involvement in foreign affairs, since they contain much of Lowenstein's correspondence with congressmen and other federal agencies, and they include information on Lowenstein's extensive travels to Biafra and other countries.

The largest files within the Agriculture Committee are those on food stamp legislation, the California grape boycott, the Livestock and Grains Subcommittee (Lowenstein was a member), and rural housing conditions. An interesting feature of the Armed Services Committee files is its documentation of the varied concerns of servicemen. The Judiciary Committee files contain records on several domestic issues in which Lowenstein had an interest. The Interstate Commerce Committee files document issues that were of significance to the metropolitan area which Lowenstein represented. (The researcher may also be interested in consulting the related local issues files in Subseries 4.3, especially those on gas pipelines, jet noise, and the Long Island Railroad.) The House Affairs Committee files document another issue concerning Lowenstein: the proposed reform of the committee structure within the House of Representatives.

Following the committee files is a small group of records, originally interfiled with the committee files in a number of "miscellaneous" categories, that did not relate to the work of any specific House committee. The Committee files originally consisted of approximately 22 cubic feet of records. However, press clippings, government publications, and other records that are widely available were removed from the subseries.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 4.5. House Bills, 1969-1970.

About 800 items.

Arrangement: by House bill.

Printed bills, supporting documents, lists, and Lowenstein's voting record while in the House of Representatives. The files in this subseries consist of copies of the legislation sponsored or co-sponsored by Lowenstein while he was a member of Congress. One copy of the House bill can be found in each file; each bill is often accompanied by other documentation relating to that specific piece of legislation. The House bills sponsored or co-sponsored by Lowenstein are followed by the House resolutions, concurrent resolutions, and joint resolutions which Lowenstein sponsored or co-sponsored.

A variety of lists of the legislation proposed by Lowenstein is located in folder 1506. In folder 1507, there is also a record of Lowenstein's votes on other House legislation. Researchers can find further information on Lowenstein's legislation in Subseries 4.4, Committee files, filed under the topic of the legislation.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 4.6. Press Files, 1969-1970.

About 1,000 items.

Arrangement: by type of material.

Congressional Record reprints of remarks made by Lowenstein, news releases and newsletters from Lowenstein's office, and speeches and statements made by Lowenstein. Notes and indexes regarding Lowenstein's remarks in the Congressional Record precede the reprints themselves. The reprints were often mailed to constituents in order to clarify Lowenstein's positions on various issues. The news releases also reflect positions taken by Lowenstein, and provide information on Lowenstein's schedule while in Congress (see also Subseries 4.7).

The newsletters, which were mailed by Lowenstein's office to constituents as a means of reporting on his work in Congress, also reflect his positions on issues of national and local importance. These newsletters often included questionnaires to constituents, reported results of previous questionnaires, and announced forthcoming district forums. For copies of returned questionnaires, see Subseries 4.3.

Folders 1636-1664 contain numerous speeches and statements made by Lowenstein while he was a congressman. Included in these files are final copies of the speeches, as well as draft revisions by Lowenstein and his legislative assistants. Other speeches by Lowenstein are in Subseries 7.3.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 4.7. Administrative Files, 1969-1970.

About 6,600 items.

Lists, correspondence, invitations, scheduling forms, financial records, memoranda, and other records relating to the operations of Lowenstein's congressional offices in Washington, D.C. and Baldwin, New York. Folders 1665-1669 contain memoranda, principally from staff members to Lowenstein, regarding subjects ranging from telephone messages and scheduling concerns to strategies for political action. The memoranda are followed by records on Lowenstein's office personnel, and a few files on the general operations of his offices. The mail counts in folders 1695-1701, arranged chronologically, provide information on both the amount of correspondence Lowenstein's office received, and the general areas of interest and concern expressed in that correspondence.

Folders 1702-1797 contain the scheduling files maintained for Lowenstein's Washington office and his district office in Baldwin. Both sets of files include invitations, correspondence, notes, and completed schedule request forms which are filed in rough chronological order by the date of the event. The files also include scheduling information on four of Lowenstein's trips abroad while in Congress. The Washington office files sometimes include monthly calendars filled out by Lowenstein's office staff which offer an overview of scheduled events for that month. The Baldwin office files for 1970 include scheduling information on Lowenstein's campaign for reelection (see also Subseries 3.8).

The telephone messages in folders 1798-1829, dated from January-October 1970, were apparently taken in Lowenstein's Baldwin office. Other telephone messages, found in folder 1830, seem to have been taken in the Washington office. The remainder of Subseries 4.7 consists of financial records such as bills and receipts, correspondence, ledger sheets, and information on Lowenstein's office checking account. Included in the financial records are one set of files arranged alphabetically by name of account, and another set arranged chronologically by month.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 5.1. By Lowenstein, 1943-1979.

About 2,200 items.

Arrangement: chronological.

Handwritten and typed drafts, and final copies of articles, essays, and longer works by Allard Lowenstein. Other writings by Lowenstein are in Series 2, 3, and 4. For example, Lowenstein's writings while he was a student at the University of North Carolina are located in Subseries 2.3. Note also that materials Lowenstein used in the preparation of some of his writings are in Series 6.

Items of interest in this subseries include a few early short stories, plays, and essays; several writings dating from the early 1960s on Africa; a 1967 draft of an article discounting knowledge of CIA funding of the United States National Student Association during Lowenstein's presidency in the early 1950s; several published articles on the Robert Kennedy assassination investigation from 1975-1977; draft revisions and correspondence relating to "Spain Without Franco," a 1976 article Lowenstein wrote for Saturday Review; and "Why I Quit," an article detailing the reasons behind Lowenstein's resignation from his United Nations post in 1978.

This subseries also documents longer works by Lowenstein. There is one cubic foot of materials on Brutal Mandate, including draft revisions, chapter outlines, research notes, correspondence, book reviews, publicity materials, and a screenplay adaptation of the book; a screenplay on the civil rights movement by Lowenstein and Marcia Borie, entitled "Angus"; and materials, including drafts, relating to Reclaiming America, a book length work by Lowenstein on the contemporary American political scene which was scheduled for publication in 1972, but never actually published.

The researcher should note that the authorship and dates of a few writings in this subseries are uncertain.

About 3,400 items.

Press clippings, magazine and journal articles, essays, unpublished papers, and other writings. Lowenstein is mentioned in all items, and is the central subject of most of them.

The press clipping file in folders 124 253, which has been photocopied for preservation purposes, constitutes three fourths of this subseries. Dating from 1946 through 1985, this clipping file covers all aspects of Lowenstein's career. The clippings are predominantly from New York newspapers and news magazines, but there are also clippings from newspapers throughout the nation, and from abroad. Several of the posthumous clippings concern controversies regarding books and articles on Lowenstein (see also Subseries 9.1).

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Series 6. Research Files, 1940-1980.

About 24,000 items.

Research notes, reports, memoranda, pamphlets, flyers, newsletters, press clippings, and other records on subjects of interest to Allard Lowenstein over the course of his lifetime. Arrangement is alphabetical by subject within each of two subseries.

Subseries 6.1 comprises about 25% of this series, and consists of items dating from the early 1940s to Lowenstein's election to Congress in 1968. The items in Subseries 6.2 postdate his term in Congress. Similar records gathered during his congressional years are in Subseries 4.3 and 4.4.

The files in Series 6 were apparently collected for a variety of purposes and by a number of people. Lowenstein used many of these records as background materials for the preparation of writings, speeches, campaign appearances, or interviews. Several materials appear to have been collected by Lowenstein out of interest or curiosity, especially those materials from earlier years. A great many records, especially those for the 1970s, were compiled and arranged by Gregory Stone, Lowenstein's administrative assistant for several years, and by other aides and volunteers. Lowenstein made use of this last category of files in giving speeches, in his writings, and in his political campaigns and other activities during the 1970s.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 6.1. Pre-Congressional Files, 1940-1968.

About 7,200 items.

Arrangement: alphabetical by subject.

The research materials in this subseries cover primarily the period 1958-1968, and most of the materials were apparently collected by Lowenstein. Approximately half the subseries consists of materials on South Africa and South West Africa. Included in the files on Africa are records of several organizations concerned with African affairs; files of Ethel Grossman, Lowenstein's personal secretary in the early 1960s (folders 80-96); and serials, African government documents, and other printed materials (folders 105-131).

Also included in this subseries is a large amount of documentation on the civil rights movement (folders 137-158), the New York Reform Democrats (folders 185-204), student activism in the 1950s and 1960s (folders 227-239), and the Vietnam War (folders 224-259).

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 6.2. Post-Congressional Files, 1970-1980.

About 17,200 items.

Arrangement: alphabetical by subject.

This subseries includes over nine cubic feet of records, collected during Lowenstein's political campaigns in the 1970s, on the positions of his campaign opponents on a variety of issues (folders 437-718). These campaign files are closely related to those found in the campaign subseries of Series 3. Also, records from Lowenstein's term in Congress (such as press releases and Congressional Record reprints) can often be found in Subseries 6.2 as background materials for some of his speeches and political campaign appearances.

There also are large files relating to Lowenstein's continuing interest in African affairs, especially Zimbabwe Rhodesia in the late 1970s (folders 262-292); his involvement in Democratic Party politics (folders 370-386); his positions on a variety of issues such as the environment, the economy, taxes, turmoil in the Middle East, and government aid to senior citizens (especially folders 719-730); and his interest in local affairs in the New York metropolitan area, particularly in Brooklyn (folders 309-333). There are also notes and research materials compiled for Lowenstein's use in speeches, writings, and campaign appearances (especially folders 817-845).

The miscellaneous records (folders 743-753) include various writings sent to Lowenstein in the 1970s. Files on organizations (folders 779-785) include leaflets, literature, and mailings of organizations which are not the subject of other files in Subseries 6.2. As with Subseries 6.1, this subseries also contains significant documentation on the Vietnam War (folders 860-874).

About 800 items.

The correspondence regarding Lowenstein's public appearances often addresses logistics and travel arrangements, subjects for Lowenstein to address in speeches and presentations, and thanks for his participation. More information on income and expenses related to Lowenstein's appearances is found in Subseries 9.3.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 7.3. Speeches, 1951-1980.

About 50 items.

Transcripts and drafts of speeches by Allard Lowenstein. Prevalent topics of these speeches are student activism, Democratic Party politics, the Vietnam War, religious freedom, and human rights. Other speeches and statements by Lowenstein are located throughout Series 2 and 3, and in Subseries 4.6. Materials Lowenstein used in the preparation of his speeches are in Series 6.

Lowenstein seldom spoke from a prepared text, so there are few speeches here. He often did, however, jot down notes anecdotes, facts and figures, quotations, and occasionally more comprehensive drafts of speeches which can be found elsewhere in the collection. These speech notes, frequently the only extant record of what Lowenstein said on an occasion, are in Series 6; in Subseries 7.1, written on the promotional literature announcing his appearances; in Subseries 8.2, jotted in the appointment books Lowenstein carried with him; in Subseries 8.4, written on programs of events he attended; and in Subseries 9.5.

Audiotapes of some of Lowenstein's speeches are located in Subseries 10.2.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 9.3. Financial and Administrative Records, 1929-1980.

About 3,800 items.

Applications for employment, and related correspondence; insurance policies, and medical and legal papers; income and expense records, tax records, tax forms, and bank statements; telephone bills, contribution receipts, and miscellaneous bills and receipts; identification cards; and documents relating to Lowenstein's travels.

Most of this subseries consists of financial records, and the categories of records are interrelated. For example, information on Lowenstein's income can be derived from files on income and expenses (folders 115-121), tax records (folders 122-125), bank account records (folders 126-157), and trust fund records (folders 158-159).

These records are also closely related to materials found elsewhere in the collection. Records relating to Lowenstein's employment and other applications are often found in the appropriate subseries in Series 2. Several financial and legal records pertaining to Lowenstein's political campaigns are located throughout Series 3. In fact, the majority of documentation on a suit Lowenstein brought against his opponent in the 1972 campaign, John J. Rooney, are in Subseries 3.10. Folders 224-241 of this subseries contain records relating to Lowenstein's attempts in this suit to have files released by the Central Intelligence Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigations under the Freedom of Information Act. The materials that were released by the CIA date from about 1966-1970; those from the FBI date from the late 1940s to the mid-1970s.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Series 10. Audio-Visual Materials, 1929-1982.

About 2,300 items.

Images, sound recordings, videocasettes, and films relating to Allard Lowenstein. The audio visual materials provide a further record of Lowenstein's activities over the years, and elaborate especially on the written record of his activities contained in Series 2, 3, 4, and 7.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Subseries 10.1. Photographs, 1929-1980.

About 2,000 items.

About 1300 black and white photographs, 270 color photographs, 250 contact sheets, and 40 sleeves of slides, along with several hundred negatives, of Allard K. Lowenstein, his extended family, friends, and associates. The bulk of these pictures are from Lowenstein's congressional campaigns. There are also a number of images from his years at the University of North Carolina, in the United States Army, and in Congress. Family pictures include Lowenstein's wife, children, parents, brothers and sister, and others. Lowenstein is often pictured with other individuals, such as William F. Buckley Jr., Shirley Chisholm, Coretta King, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Andrew Young. Other individuals are pictured without Lowenstein: Frank Porter Graham, Katharine Hepburn, Jesse Jackson, Robert F. Kennedy, and Grace Kelly.

Arrangement is by category as noted below. Within each category, prints are filed first, followed by contact sheets, then sleeves of slides. Images within each type are in rough chronological order, except for the last two categories of unidentified images which have no arrangement. Not all types of images are represented in each category: for example, in the first category pictures of Lowenstein there are no slides. When there are negatives of photographs and contact sheets, these are stored separately. An individual picture list, located in folder 1A, provides identification and description for many individual images.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Additions of 1986-1996.

About 6,000 items.

Additional materials documenting the life and career of Allard K. Lowenstein, with material documenting the collaborative and independent activities of his assistant, Bancroft "Nick" Littlefield. Littlefield was especially involved in the Lawyers' Committee for Effective Action to End the War. These additions document many of Lowenstein's political activities, most notably the Registration Summer and Dump Nixon movements, and the many electoral campaigns in which Lowenstein was a candidate or a campaigner. There are letters from Miriam Massey Johnson and William Mackie dating from Lowenstein's college days and after, and many messages of condolence and reminiscence sent to Lowenstein's brother and ex-wife after his 1980 murder. There are transcripts of two interviews with Lowenstein, and about 130 transcripts of interviews with Lowenstein's friends and associates done after his death for the Allard K. Lowenstein Foundation and the Columbia University Oral History Project. There are also photographs and other pictures from many stages of Lowenstein's life.

The additions received in 1986-1996 are arranged as follows:

  • Addition 1. Littlefield/Lowenstein Political Materials
  • Addition 1.1. Lawyers' Committee For Effective Action to End the War
  • Addition 1.2. Registration Summer/Dump Nixon
  • Addition 1.3. Lowenstein Electoral Races, 1970-1976

  • Addition 3.3. Interviews with Lowenstein
  • Addition 4. Photographs

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Addition 1. Littlefield/Lowenstein Political Materials, 1970-1973.

About 3,500 items.

Arrangement: topical.

Campaign literature, memoranda, news clippings and correspondence primarily concerned with Allard K. Lowenstein's political campaigns during the 1970s, his effort to register newly enfranchised voters following the lowering of the voting age to 18 in 1971, and the campaigns to end the war in Vietnam. Much of the material was generated by Bancroft "Nick" Littlefield, Jr., Lowenstein's deputy in the youth registration effort, and the campaign manager of his 1972 race for the United States House. Littlefield subsequently married Lowenstein's former wife, Jennifer.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Addition 1.1. Lawyers' Committee for Effective Action to End the War, 1970-1972.

About 1,000 items.

Arrangement: topical.

Correspondence, memoranda, lobbying materials, newsletters, and news clippings related to the activities of an anti-Vietnam War pressure group, the Lawyers' Committee For Effective Action to End the War. Much of the material was generated by one of this group's more prominent activists, Bancroft (Nick) Littlefield, Jr., a liberal Republican attorney for the Wall Street law firm of Hughes, Hubbard, and Reed. In the spring of 1970, in the wake of President Nixon's Cambodia "incursion" and student unrest throughout the nation, Littlefield and other young, predominantly Ivy League-educated professionals, sought to mobilize corporate America to end the war.

Much of the correspondence reveals the Lawyers' Committee's efforts to organize a national network of professionals against the war, and lobbying efforts to ensure the election of a Congress that would support the McGovern-Hatfield Amendment to cut off funding for the Vietnam war. In the fall elections of 1970, the committee began to concentrate its efforts in energizing young volunteers, and raising funds to assist the election of prominent anti-war politicians, notably Senator Albert Gore Sr., of Tennessee, and Rep. Allard K. Lowenstein of New York. A final tally in 1971 showed that the campaign raised just under $87,000 for anti-war candidates, twelve of whom won election, and eighteen of whom (including Lowenstein and Gore) lost.

Other memoranda and lobbying materials note the lawyers' particular concern for the illegality of the Nixon administration's actions in Cambodia, and also note the impact of massive military spending on inflation. Other materials include lists of financial contributors and news clippings, chiefly from the New York Times and the Providence (R.I.) Evening Bulletin related to the anti-war movement and the invasion of Cambodia.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Addition 1.2. Registration Summer/Dump Nixon, 1970-1973.

About 1,000 items.

Arrangement: topical.

Correspondence, memoranda, political pamphlets, campaign field notes, financial documents, and news clippings pertaining to youth registration efforts by Allard Lowenstein and Nick Littlefield, primarily in 1971 and 1972. The bulk of the materials were generated as part of Registration Summer, an effort to register the millions of 18 to 20 year olds enfranchised by the 26th Amendment (which had been adopted in the summer of 1971). The drive had been initiated by Lowenstein, a Democrat, who appointed the Republican Littlefield his chief lieutenant. Although this effort was non-partisan, it was strongly opposed to President Nixon's presidency. Several memoranda and news clippings reveal that Registration Summer was particularly concerned with registering young voters to support Nixon's anti-war G.O.P. primary opponent, United States Rep. Paul McCloskey of California. In essence, Lowenstein and Littlefield hoped to build a "Dump Nixon" movement similar to Lowenstein's successful "Dump Johnson" drive in the 1968 primaries.

Copies of some of these materials can be found in the main Lowenstein collection (Subseries 3.9, "Dump Nixon,"), but the bulk of the correspondence and research materials relate to Littlefield's day-to-day handling of registration efforts in various cities, notably Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, and Minneapolis. One folder includes photographs of prominent anti-war protesters, including John Kerry, then a spokesman for Vietnam Veterans Against the War, and later a United States Senator.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Addition 1.3. Electoral Campaigns, 1970-1976.

About 300 items.

Arrangement: topical.

Correspondence, memoranda, political pamphlets, clippings, campaign flyers, reports, and campaign field notes related to various electoral campaigns between 1970 and 1976. The bulk of the materials concern Lowenstein's 1972 United States House race in Brooklyn, in which Nick Littlefield served as campaign manager. There are also some materials related to Lowenstein's losing campaigns for the House in 1970, 1974, and 1976, his aborted run for the Democratic Senate race in 1974, and some materials related to campaigns in Rhode Island and Pennsylvania.

Again, some of the 1972 memoranda, flyers, and clippings can be found in the main collection (Subseries 3.8, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, and 3.18), but Littlefield's campaign field notes, financial records, and some campaign flyers (in Spanish and Hebrew) are unique to this addition. As in the main collection, many of these notes, news clippings and memoranda concern alleged campaign irregularities by Lowenstein's opponent in 1972, United States Representative John J. Rooney.

Correspondence, memoranda, reports, and clippings pertaining to various legal matters, notably legal aid to the poor, in which Nick Littlefield was involved. Also included are drafts and notes of an unpublished manuscript by Lowenstein, "Reclaiming America." Some of the notes appear to have been hand-written by Lowenstein himself. Although these drafts were found among other papers generated by Nick Littlefield, Littlefield's precise connection to them is not clear.

Letters from Lowenstein to two of his closest friends from Chapel Hill days, William Mackie and Miriam Massey (later Miriam Massey Johnson), are probably the most revealing. Letters to Mackie (predominantly dated 1946-1952) offer insights on their friendship, student life at UNC (Mackie was elected Student Body President in 1949), and Lowenstein's early political activities in student, state, and national politics. The letters to Massey, discuss their courtship and mutual friends, and are also revealing of Lowenstein's involvement in political affairs, particularly civil rights. In 1947, both Lowenstein and Massey attended the Encampment for Citizenship, an interfaith, multi-racial gathering for young people. These letters should be read in conjunction with letters in the main collection from Massey and Mackie to Lowenstein. (Subseries 1.1; for dates of these letters see the published guide to the Lowenstein papers.)

There is scattered correspondence from the 1960s and 1970s, most of which is routine, but one letter from Frank Porter Graham to president-elect John Kennedy suggests that Lowenstein would make "an able assistant to the United Nations ambassador and would add mightily to the meaning of that office among Asian and African people."

The bulk of this series consists of letters of condolence written to Larry Lowenstein after the loss of his brother in 1980. These letters, penned by politicians such as Ted Kennedy, political thinkers such as William F. Buckley and Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., and numerous political activists, academics, and personal acquaintances, reveal the enduring impact that Al Lowenstein left in the lives of many individual Americans, and on the nation's political life. The remainder of the materials concerning Lowenstein's death include legal documents, including his death certificate, and publications, pamphlets, and other documents related to memorials and tributes to Lowenstein's legacy. One folder contains material about an article, "From Heroism to Madness," about Dennis Sweeney, Lowenstein's murderer, which Lowenstein's friends and others believed misrepresented the facts but whose author won a Pulitzer Prize, in part for this article.

expand/collapse Expand/collapse Addition 2.2. Political Activities, 1945-1980.

About 1,000 items.

Arrangement: topical.

News clippings, memoranda, brochures, political leaflets, speeches and some letters related to Lowenstein's myriad political activities between 1945 and his death in 1980. Approximately one-quarter of these deal with youth activism in the 1960s. On civil rights, there are reminiscences by Lowenstein and others about the 1964 Mississippi Freedom Summer, and also materials produced by the Southern Student Organizing Committee (SSOC), a predominantly white group of pro-civil rights, anti-Vietnam war activists. A number of documents deal with the growing demands for free speech on college campuses in the 1960s, notably at Berkeley and Stanford. Several memoranda and brochures also reveal Lowenstein's support for an American foreign policy that supported human rights, notably in Vietnam, Zimbabwe, South Africa, and in Portugal and its former colonies. The folder on the United Nations includes a number of documents on China's role in the United Nations and a number of press reports (in Portuguese) on Lowenstein's work as a delegate to the UN's Human Rights Commission in the newly democratic Portugal.

There are some materials on political campaigns in the 1970s, chiefly lists of committed, potential, and "remotely possible" Lowenstein supporters in the entertainment industry. A large number of news clippings discuss Lowenstein's murder, the possible motives of his killer, and Lowenstein's legacy to the cause of social justice and human rights.
