{"value"=>"<p>This series comprises correspondence and annotated proofs of <span class=\"title\">No Neutral Ground</span>. Correspondence includes telegrams and letters of support for Carlson, speaking engagement invitations, a note threatening Carlson's life, and letters regarding his involvement in groups like the United Nations Association. Several letters relate to the South African Minister of Interior's confiscation of Carlson's passport in 1969. Other letters document the harassment Carlson and his family suffered and their decision to leave South Africa in the early 1970s. Materials pertaining to the Home and School Council, which Carlson chaired, detail the government's persecution of its secretary, Barbara Mary Smith, and her attempted suicide. The printed matter contains articles about Carlson's career as well as the establishment of the South African Bureau of State Security (BOSS\"). Many opponents linked the Bureau to Carlson's passport confiscation. This series also includes \"A Day of Hope,\" which is an article by Carlson about Nelson Mandela, and letters and clippings concerning Carlson's wife, Jeannette.</p>"}
