{"value"=>"<p>The Poor People's Campaign (PPC) series documents the active planning for the PPC beginning in early l968 and intensifying in May of that year. The correspondence, distributed among the subseries, consists primarily of form letters concerning planning; invitations to universities (Berkeley, Stanford, Michigan) inquiring about their research projects on the PPC and inviting their participation and collaboration in the BSSR study; media contacts; and letters regarding the codification and analysis of data collected during the PPC. The Study subseries encompasses the BSSR's study of the campaign, reports and other writings, and studies of civil disobedience. Gollin's involvement with SCLC's administration of the PPC is evident in the files and documents included here. Included among the files is a detailed blueprint of the vision and plans for Resurrection City by the organizers of the campaign. The Gollin writings folder contains six articles including an unpublished paper, \"Collective Protest and Social Change\", that presents some of his research findings on the PPC project. The Survey subseries includes codebooks, survey instruments, and interview guidelines. There are transcripts of interviews conducted by BSSR staff and volunteers with participants as well as caravan reports from participant-observers who traveled with the caravans. Of interest are several papers by Carol Yenawine, one of the interviewer,s and an article by David Wham called \"Politics and Dramatism of Conflict in the P.P.C: A Case Study\". The Reference subseries contains documents related to the lobbying efforts of the organizers of the PPC and shows the role of the national and local organizations, especially the Lemberg Center for the Study of Violence, that collaborated with the PPC. The Media subseries includes articles and reports on the civil rights movement, as well as newspaper clippings and periodicals, containing articles about both the March on Washington and the Poor People's Campaign in Black and mainline publications.</p>"}
