Of special interest is Westerman's correspondence from 1942 regarding Panamanians of West Indian descent who wished to served in the U. S. armed forces during World War II in exchange for immediate U. S. citizenship rights. There is also correspondence about a breakfast given in honor of Ralph Abernathy, an official visit of U. S. Congressman Andrew Young to discuss the establishment of a Martin Luther King Center for Peace, Equality and Justice, and correspondence between Westerman and American officials.
