BIOGRAPHICAL/HISTORICAL NOTE

Born July 4, 1920 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Paul Y. Burns earned a Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Tulsa in 1941 and began work on a Master’s degree in forestry at Yale University. He left his studies during World war II, enlisting in the Army Air Corps, where he served as a weather officer in Europe. At the end of the war, he returned to Yale, where he completed a Master of Forestry in 1946, as well as a Ph. D. in 1949. He accepted a teaching position at University of Missouri in 1948. In 1955 he joined the faculty at Louisiana State University, where he served as a professor of forestry, then as the director of the LSU School of Forestry. After his retirement in 1986, Burns remained in the academic world by reviewing student and faculty papers, organizing alumni information, and providing departmental history.

As a leader and elder of University Presbyterian Church, Burns worked with the Baton Rouge interfaith community to improve race relations, gender equality, and social justice. He worked for many years on the Louisiana and Baton Rouge Councils on Human Relations. He also worked for the integration and acceptance of African American students at Louisiana State University. Over the years Burns received many awards in recognition of his professional accomplishments in forestry and his community work in Baton Rouge.

Paul Y. Burns was involved in a number of community and social justice organizations. The following provides historical information on the groups represented in his papers:

Bienville House Center for Peace and Justice Bienville House Center for Peace and Justice traces its origin to the summer of 1978, when the Center for Disarmament Education was formed in Baton Rouge to foster peace and justice by supporting world nuclear disarmament. Two years later, because of its close ties with churches, CDE decided to affiliate with Clergy and Laity Concerned, a national network of local peace and justice groups.

Baton Rouge Council on Human Relations (BRCHR) The Baton Rouge Council on Human Relations (BRCHR) was founded in February 1965 as a nonprofit, nonsectarian, interracial, educational organization. It was an independent chapter of the Louisiana Council on Human Relations, which was formed the previous year. Like the state- wide council, the mission of the Baton Rouge chapter was to counter discrimination and prejudice against racial and religious groups and to promote better understanding among these groups. The organizers of BRCHR included Ralph M. Dreger and John G. Lewis.

Council on Campus Minorities The Council on Campus Minorities was established in the 1970s at LSU to examine segregation in higher education, racism in the college community and the lack of acceptance felt by African American students at LSU.

FISH FISH was established in Baton Rouge in 1967 as a non-governmental organization to provide transportation services to the elderly, children, and less fortunate residents of Baton Rouge.

Page 4 of 16 PAUL Y. BURNS PAPERS Mss. 5183 1953-2011 LSU Libraries Special Collections Louisiana Council on Human Relations (LCHR) The Louisiana Council on Human Relations was organized in 1964 as a nonprofit organization to counteract prejudice and discrimination based on race, religion, nationality, or ethnicity.

Operation Hope Operation Hope was established in 1970 as an urban mission project of the University Presbyterian Church, targeting the neighboring area known as South Baton Rouge. The mission of Operation Hope was to provide financial literacy and economic empowerment programs for youth and adults. In 1973 it was broadened to include the entire city of Baton Rouge, and it became a separate nonprofit ecumenical ministry.

University Christian Council Association University Christian Council Association was organized to provide services to the LSU student community that was previously provided by the LSU YMCA/YWCA. The University withdrew its financial support of “Y” in July 1959 as a result of an interracial retreat, which took place in May, 1955.

University Presbyterian Church University Presbyterian Church is adjacent to Louisiana State University and is committed to community outreach, mission support, and Christian advocacy of peace and justice issues.

Working Interfaith Network of Louisiana (WIN) Founded in 1994, WIN is a private, non-profit community organization of religious congregations working for justice, through compassion and political accountability. WIN empowers people of faith to achieve justice for the common people to improve the quality of life in our communities.
