Abstract: |
The Businessmen's Interracial Committee on Community Affairs (BICCA) was organized in 1964 in Cleveland, Ohio, at a time of
unrest in the community, in order to establish communication and develop understanding between leaders of Cleveland's business
and African American communities. The BICCA was a committee of the Greater Cleveland Associated Foundation, which provided
funding, services, and facilities. Additional financial support was supplied by local corporations. The collection consists
of a report on the beginnings and early activity of the Committee, with copies of relevant articles, correspondence, and subcommittee
reports, as well as annual reports.
