- Interview with Bill Allison, June 23, 1991 conducted by Catherine Fosl.
Bill Allison, former attorney and civil rights activist, served as SCEF's (Southern Conference Educational Fund ) lawyer from 1969 to 1974. In this interview, Allison discusses how he got involved in the Civil Rights Movement, his impressions of Anne and Carl Braden, and the insight he gained about effecting change in society and government through his contact with the Bradens. He speaks about representing SCEF people or friends of SCEF and serving on the legal team that represented the Black Six case and the Louisville Black Panthers case. Allison also explains SCEF's demise due to internal tension brought on by differing ideologies among its activist members. - Metadata URL:
