    Description:
    New York, 1960. Unbound. Near Fine. A small collection of four photographs and two contact sheets taken by New York photojournalist, Bill Vetel in the 1960s measuring between 6.5" x 9.5" and 8" x 10" with captions. Slight edgewear else near fine. The images show training of the Quaker Project on Community Conflict in the 1960s. The QPCC began in the 1960s as a way to "train civil rights demonstrators in nonviolent conflict resolution." These photos depict that training with one captioned on the verso, "QPCC staffer Cathy Feuer briefs trainees prior to acting out training scenario." The contact sheets document these scenarios with the views of the simulated "conflicts" a trainee could encounter and ways to deflect and remove themselves nonviolently. A modest but interesting collection of photographs depicting a Quaker activist group in the 1960s.
