Journalism

This collection includes three folders of transcriptions of editorial commentaries by Peter Conn for the period August 19, 1974- May 16, 1975. These commentaries, entitled "Prose & Conn," were broadcast daily on WHAS-TV.

These papers contain letters and clippings to and about Jacob Landau from Neville Miller, former U of L law school dean and Louisville mayor, as well as Landau's family reminiscences, obituaries of acquaintances, and a reminiscence of prostitution during his childhood in the west downtown Louisville neighborhood. The Oral History Center in the University Archives and Records Center also holds an interview with Mr. Landau.

This collection contains printed material, publications, notes, news clippings, and correspondence related to Walker's job as a UPI reporter covering events in Louisville during this time. There are also taped interviews and tapes of speeches and rallies in Louisville in the mid-1970s. The bulk of the collection relates to the issue of desegregation and busing of the Louisville/Jefferson County School System. Due to the small size of the collection, it was not organized by series.

Woolsey's papers consist of a small amount of correspondence and a speech, copies and drafts of feature articles, reporters notes, reference materials on African Americans in Kentuckiana (i.e., the areas of Kentucky and Indiana in the Louisville metropolitan area) and miscellaneous newsclippings.
