NEJL photo identification project
We are hoping to identify the speakers featured in these contact sheets from the 1968 Conference on Welfare Law, held at the Jung Hotel in New Orleans, Louisiana, September 27-28, 1968.
If you can identify one or more of the people in the photographs, please email or call the NEJL Archivist: 202-662-4043. Or email: kh781@law.georgetown.edu.
The photographs are from the National Institute for Education in Law and Poverty (NIELP) collection, which Thomas Buckley donated to the NEJL.
Thank you!
