Papers of a community organizer, member of the Wisconsin legislature, and former Catholic priest, who with Father James Groppi was active in welfare rights activities in Milwaukee. The collection includes fragmentary records of work with various welfare groups, in particular the Council on Urban Life, an organization of priests working in the inner city, and the Milwaukee County Welfare Rights Organization. The papers consist of by-laws and constitutions of the organizations, membership lists, financial records, minutes of meetings, and miscellaneous personal papers.
