- Baptist Students Concerned (1968-1970) was a progressive student group formed by North Carolina Baptist Student Union members to attend the Southern Baptist Convention annual meetings 1968 through 1970 to address issues of racism, poverty, and war. Stuart Sprague, Ph.D. (1947- ) played a key role in the activities of Baptist Students Concerned, collected and created the documentary history of the group, and wrote and collected writings by others about the group's activities. This collection primarily documents the formation and activity of Baptist Students Concerned and the trajectory of the Southern Baptist Convention through correspondence, conference material, news reports and clippings, typescript and manuscript documents, and a photograph. There are also National Association of Baptist Professors of Religion records, including annual meeting programs and reports.
