| Collection Description | Charlotte mayor (from 1957-1961) James Saxon Smith formed the Mayor's Friendly Relationship Committee (MFRC) in response to student organized sit-ins at lunch counters in some of uptown Charlotte's major white-owned establishments on February 12, 1960. By July 1960, the MFRC had helped the lunch counter owners and student protesters come to an agreement which resulted in the integration of many of Charlotte's lunch counters. The work of the committee continued and expanded to explore broader community issues, and was renamed the Mayor's Community Relations Committee (MCRC) in 1961. This collection comprises papers related to the establishment and work of both committees, and includes correspondence, committee minutes, memorandums, pamphlets, and research materials on the subject of race relationships. |
