Description
Scanned image of a Spring 2004 reproduction of An Open Letter to the People of Lynchburg dated 27 April 1967. The letter protests the policies of the Lynchburg newspapers to exclude news coverage of Dunbar High School and to exclude announcements of deaths and funeral arrangements for Negro citizens.
The open letter was signed by several members of the Jones Memorial Library board of trustees at the time, including the board president Robert C. Watts, Jr. and members Charles G. Baber, B.C. Baldwin, Jr., C.R. Pettyjohn, and James R. Gilliam, Jr.
