Robert Alexander Papers, 1970-1982
2.5 linear feet
The papers of Robert Alexander span the years 1970-1982. The primary focus of the collection is on Alexander's political activities in both the Human Rights Party and the Democratic Party. There is no personal material, nor is there documentation of Alexander's career. Even within the sections on his political activities there is only a moderate amount specifically relating to Alexander. The papers give a view of local politics, in which Alexander was a relatively minor figure.
Human Rights Party
The Human Rights Party series covers the years from 1971 to 1975 when Alexander left the Party. The series is subdivided into History and Constitution, Committees, Elections, Financial Material, Lists (of contributors, members, etc.), Meetings, Minutes, Newspaper Clippings, Notes (by Alexander), Platforms, Position Papers, Press Releases, Sponsored Events, Strategy and Miscellanea. The files of Newspaper Clippings includes eighteen issues of the Ann Arbor Sun, a local radical publication, as well as clippings from other local papers.
