  • Fayette County Finding Aid AKA Tent City Materials Collection 441 28 Boxes Open for Research
    Fayette County Finding Aid AKA Tent City Materials Collection 441 28 boxes Open for Research Created 2014-2015 By Sasha Arnold, MA Adapted from 2005 Finding Aid Provenance: This collection was created from materials from multiple sources. However, the core of the collection was created by Daphene R. McFerren, the daughter of John and Viola McFerren, who, in 1995, received a summer grant from National Endowment for the Humanities to create a collection on the Fayette County Movement. Minnie Harris Jameson, the League’s secretary for approximately 45 years (from 1959 to 2004) both created and acquired materials chronicling the Movement as it unfolded from 1959. The following individuals also donated materials on the Movement: • Baxton Bryant (former executive director, Tennessee Council on Human Relations) • Vicki Gabriner (Cornell student activist) • Tim Hall (Cornell University student activist) • Robert Hamburger (University of Chicago student activist) • Dean Hansell (Fayette County/Haywood Work Camp activist) • Roena Haynie (spouse of Charles Haynie, Cornell University student activist) • Richard Saunders (researcher/archivist at University of Tennessee at Martin, PhD dissertation on Fayette County) As the existence of the collection became known to a broader community, including former civil rights activists, materials have been donated and continue to be added to the collection. Historical Sketch: In 1959, African Americans in Fayette County, TN demanded the right to register and vote. They had been effectively barred from this civil process since Reconstruction. However, the trial of Burton Dodson ignited a determined resolve in the African American community to register and vote so they could help shape the social, political, economic and educational spheres of their lives.

  • Tennessee Lt. Governor John Wilder's Office Records 1969
    State of Tennessee Department of State Tennessee State Library and Archives 403 Seventh Avenue North Nashville, Tennessee 37243-0312 TENNESSEE LT. GOVERNOR JOHN WILDER’S OFFICE RECORDS 1969-1976 RECORD GROUP 73 Processed by: Pat A. Morris Archival Technical Services SCOPE AND CONTENT In 1971 the State Senate elected John Shelton Wilder, a veteran of six years’ service, Lt. Governor and Speaker, succeeding Frank C. Gorrell. Governor Wilder represents the 26th district, which includes his native Fayette County in West Tennessee. A graduate of the University of Tennessee’s College of Agriculture, Governor Wilder earned a law degree at Memphis State University. Having run his family’s business, the Longtown Supply Company, for many years, Governor Wilder served as President of related professional associations: the Tennessee Cotton Ginners’ Association and the Tennessee Agricultural Council. As active in the public sector as he is in the private sector, Governor Wilder’s correspondence reflects these responsibilities. Included in the list of correspondents are the Somerville Bank and Trust Company (he is a member of the Board of Directors), the Fayette County Court (he has been a member for eighteen years), the National Association of Conservation Districts, and the Executive Committee on the National Conference of the Council of State Governments. The title of Lieutenant Governor is primarily an honorary title conferred upon the Speaker of the Senate, although the Constitution of Tennessee directs the Lt. Governor to succeed the governor’s office, if necessary; and Governor Wilder announced early in his tenure that he felt the Constitution should be amended to allow for the popular election of the Lt.
