The Richard B. Russell, Jr. Collection, Subgroup C, Series X: Civil Rights relates to many aspects of the civil rights issue.
Almost all of the files deal with black-white relations in the United States, particularly those involving legislative action
during Senator Russell's career in the Senate. Issues, such as the antilynching bill, the Fair Employment Practices Committee,
racial integration, and the various civil rights bills from 1948 until 1964, are documented. There are also records related
to other topics such as cloture, the literacy voting bill, the poll tax, school prayer, and some subjects which are indirectly
related to the race issue. Any additional non-textual materials originally filed with papers were removed for preservation
purposes and improved access. These materials include photographs, audiovisual items, scrapbooks, vertical files, memorabilia,
and books.
