FBI documents on CORE
Description
An account of the resource
This collection of FBI documents pertains to CORE’s Target City project in Baltimore. The come from the Federal Surveillance of African Americans 1920-1984.
CORE’s Target City project was described by the FBI as ‘the most active Black nationalist group in the Baltimore area’. The documents also demonstrate that the project was categorized under the heading of 'Black nationalist Hate Groups' and was a subject of the COINTELPRO Program. The collection because it is so small suggests there is much more in the FBI's files on Target City than has been released.

Title
A name given to the resource
photo of Ruth Turner Perot, Cleveland CORE
Description
An account of the resource
This is a photo of Ruth Turner Perot, executive secretary for Cleveland CORE before she and her husband Tony Perot went on to work for the national office. Both were members of the National Action Commitee.
"The first lady of Black Power", not only did she play a crucial role in getting Floyd McKissick elected as national director, as his special assistant, she also played a large part in defining and articulating CORE's philosophy of Black Power. It is unclear if there was another woman who was a national leader during the Black Power movement that predates Ruth Turner. Gloria Richardson of the Cambridge Movement retired from activism before Black Power proper. Kathleen Cleaver and Elaine Brown from the Panthers came after.
Turner is also credited by CORE historians August Meier and Elliot Rudwick with playing an essential role in having original Freedom Rider Jim Peck fired from his position as the long time editor of the CORElator.
