A Women Against Racism newsletter in the Rosa Parks Papers reports an April 30, 1976 meeting decision to try to keep anti-busing group Mothers Alert Detroit (MAD) from controlling Detroit’s Region 7 School Board. Members would research candidates and mobilize for the May 18 election; a May 15 Region 7 leafleting effort is announced.
These are the group’s own forward-looking plans — not verified canvassing, election results, or proof MAD won or lost. Surrounding copy references an April 25 Sunday Free Press letter defending metropolitan busing and a potluck slideshow (audience counted as 21) — again the group’s account, not independent confirmation.
Limits: filing among Parks’s papers ≠ Parks authorship, membership, or participation. Newsletter plans ≠ completed leafleting. Private contact details omitted.
