{"value"=>"<p>The <span class=\"emph\">Oral History Transcripts series, 1964-1973 (.4 lin. ft.)</span>consists of transcripts of interviews with Weaver conducted over a nine year period for the Civil Rights Documentation Project, Cornell University's New York State School of Industrial Relations, and to supplement the oral history projects of the John F. Kennedy Library, and the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library. In the interview with James Mosby for the Civil Rights Documentation Project, Weaver discusses his tenure as Secretary of HUD and views on integration of non-whites into federal positions and programs. In the Cornell University interview with Frances Hardin, the problems of employing African American craftsmen is addressed. A discussion of Weaver's childhood, early government service, theories on public housing and the development of HUD and its programs can be found in the Joe B. Frantz interview for the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library. In the interviews conducted by Daniel Patrick Moynihan for the John F. Kennedy Library, Weaver discusses his initial meetings with John F. Kennedy regarding social, economic and racial problems in America, his opinions about Kennedy and Richard Nixon, and the role of an African-American cabinet member as a representative of Black America. The folder, Looking Back, Looking Ahead News Conference (1968), contains a transcript in which Weaver discusses the accomplishments and future of HUD. This series also contains a folder of miscellaneous transcripts.</p>"}
