Description
The Dean Savage Papers document Savage's experience volunteering with the Summer Community Organization and Political Education (SCOPE) Project during the summer of 1965, specifically in the locations of Orangeburg County, South Carolina, and Atlanta, GA. The collection contains 16 color photographs taken in Orangeburg and Atlanta during that summer, depicting multiple events, including: a speech by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at SCOPE orientation in Atlanta, GA in June 1965; volunteers being arrested on August 2, 1965 after organizing a sit-in due to voter registration hours being cut short, and the subsequent court hearing; a Klu Klux Klan (KKK) rally held in the area; the house in Orangeburg where many of the volunteers stayed; and other meetings and celebrations. The collection also contains a pamphlet from the KKK rally, news articles relating to arrests, transcripts from the SCOPE orientation in Atlanta, and supplemental materials provided by Dean Savage as contextual information.
