This series contains materials relating to the general Sanctuary movement and Nicgorski's involvement. The documents include lists of pro-Sanctuary institutions, cities, and states; statements of support for the Sanctuary movement; and studies, flyers, pamphlets, and special issues of periodical publications, investigating and reporting on the issues confronting refugees from Central America, their attempts to escape repression in their homeland, United States government policy on Central America, and the actions of the Immigration and Naturalization Service. The institutions providing support, many of them religious, include the American Civil Liberties Union Fund, the Center for Constitutional Rights, the Chicago Religious Task Force on Central America, the District of Columbia Metropolitan Sanctuary Committee, the Florida Council of Churches Commission on Refugees and Global Community, Friends Peace Committee, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, the National Sanctuary Defense Fund, the Phoenix Sanctuary Committee, and the Presbyterian Church. A substantial portion of the series consists of records documenting Nicgorski's speaking engagements, including sermons and conferences, from 1985 through 1989. Single documents (flyers, programs) of speaking events are filed in annual folders; more substantial records for events (flyers, programs, correspondence, and upon occasion the text of Nicgorski's remarks) are filed in separate folders, ordered chronologically by the date of the event. The materials also include programs and correspondence concerning Sanctuary movement conferences and workshops; publicity, programs, and liturgies for prayer and worship services for the movement; and the Freedom Train Sanctuary Caravan from Phoenix to Northampton, Massachusetts, in the summer of 1987. Additional materials include newspaper political cartoons concerning the movement, a discussion of the legal and religious issues facing the movement, and a file of writings by, and other materials about, Jim Corbett, of the Arizona American Friends Service Committee, one of the founders of the movement.
