Libraries at the De La Salle Institute, University of Chicago, and DePaul University held important resources. The Mount Holyoke
College library and computer center provided assistance. At Fisk University, we examined the William Dawson Papers. We utilized
the Oral History Project at Columbia University. The Southern Christian Leadership Conference Papers were available at the
Martin Luther King Center. The Museum of Broadcast Communications in Chicago and the Museum of Television & Radio in New York
provided excellent coverage of Daley, and the 1968 convention in particular.
