This series contains materials relating to Davis’ service on President Lyndon B. Johnson’s National Advisory Commission on Rural Poverty from 1966 to 1968. Materials include a notebook from the commission’s third meeting in May 1967. Arranged according to its sections (A, B, C etc.), the notebook contains reports dealing with such subjects as the demographic characteristics of poverty, housing and health conditions, and employment. There is also the commission’s Report and Recommendations from July 1967. Arranged according to its chapters (1-15), this report covers such subjects as the reasons for rural poverty, housing, health, education, natural resource development and community organization. There is also a very small collection of memorandums, notes, and other materials and a published report entitled The People Left Behind (1967).
