Scope and Contents

Friends and family members recall the life and contributions of Allard Kenneth Lowenstein (1929-1980), from early days at the Encampment for Citizenship and the University of North Carolina to his assassination. There are vivid accounts of his leadership in civil rights struggles from Mississippi to South Africa. His political influence is illustrated both during his service in the House of Representatives, 1968-1970, and subsequently, particularly in his organization of opposition to the Vietnam war.
