This collection contains five folders maintained by Michael Brannon, a University of Virginia alumnus from the class of 1969, which document his involvement in voter registration efforts during the summer of 1966. Two folders are labeled Virginia Students' Civil Rights Committee (VSCRC). One includes field notes and a letter, while the other contains pamphlets, workbooks, newsletters, meeting minutes, agendas, and reports collected through the VSCRC. Another folder, titled Southern Student Organizing Committee (SSOC), holds pamphlets and essays that Brannon obtained during the summer and in subsequent years while attending UVA. The final two folders pertain to conferences organized by ecumenical religious groups in 1966, which were connected to his volunteer work for the registration drive. These include materials from the Conference on People, Religion, and a Changing Virginia (November 1966) and New Day for Virginians (March 1966).
Michael G. Brannon attended the University of Virginia from 1965 to 1969, earning a Bachelor of Arts from the College of Arts and Sciences.
