These are many of the newspaper articles regarding Civil Rights Issues on Martha's Vineyard and the story of the Five Vineyard Women going to Williamston. Most of these I'm pretty sure were printed in the Vineyard Gazette. The links to the left of each article go to a scan of it, most of which are about 3 mb so you might be better off downloading (right-click) rather than trying to read them here.
