The materials in Box 2 of the Attorney Joseph Gibbs Collection document his continued legal research and advocacy related to education and civil rights, with records dating from 1967 to 1978. This box consists of twenty-seven folders containing court case materials, publications, Black college research logs, and special reports from the White House, all of which reflect Gibbs’ involvement in the analysis and development of policies affecting higher education and desegregation efforts.

The court case files provide documentation of significant legal decisions and proceedings related to school integration and equal educational opportunity, while the publications and reports offer broader context on national and regional policy discussions. The inclusion of Black college research logs highlights Gibbs’ systematic study of historically Black colleges and universities during a period when many faced restructuring, consolidation, or closure.

The folders within this box are arranged in alphabetical order, allowing for organized access by subject and record type. Collectively, Box 2 complements the correspondence and legal materials found in Box 1 by providing deeper insight into Gibbs’ research, policy engagement, and contributions to the advancement of civil rights and educational equity.
