The materials in Box 2 of the Arthur L. Kidd Collection consist of news clippings and articles dated from 1955 to 1967 that document significant events and public discourse during the segregation era. The majority of these materials pertain to civil rights–related topics, including boycotts, sit-ins, and contemporary opinions on racial segregation and social justice.

These clippings and articles reflect the evolving national and regional conversations surrounding the Civil Rights Movement, capturing both the actions of activists and the responses of the broader public. The materials provide insight into how key events were reported and interpreted, as well as the ways in which issues of race and equality were debated during this period.

The folders within this box are arranged in alphabetical order, allowing for organized access by subject and topic. Collectively, Box 2 offers valuable documentation of mid-twentieth-century civil rights struggles and the media coverage that shaped public understanding of segregation and social change.
