American Conservative Union Battle Line, 1967-1968

The collection primarily contains papers related to Byron C. Hall Jr.’s involvement in the Maryland chapter of Young Americans for Freedom. These records include materials, such as administrative files, newsletters, and correspondence, and generally date from the period that Hall was chairman of the chapter. The correspondence discusses such matters as how to expand membership and improvements to the newsletter. Hall’s notes on the conservative talking points and initiatives are also included throughout the collection. Records relating to the local college chapters at Towson State College (now Towson University), Johns Hopkins University, and the University of Maryland also make up a small portion of the collection and demonstrate how these groups participated in campus life and approached liberal groups and their views and actions.
