Speeches, minutes, news clippings, trial testimony transcripts, subject files, audio

his tenure as president of the Minnesota Education Association (MEA) and as founder
and director of the MEA's political action committee, IMPACE (Independent Minnesota
Political Action Committee for Education).
The bulk of the papers consist of Klinkerfues's speeches, minutes and other records
of IMPACE, and Klinkerfues's 1977 testimony in a trial (Knight v. Minnesota
Community College Faculty Association, et al.) over the legality of IMPACE. Also
included are correspondence, press releases, tape-recorded interviews, and other
materials concerning an illegal teachers' strike in Florida (1968) at which
Klinkerfues, then president of the MEA, was a speaker and supporter. These and other
papers were compiled by Klinkerfues to represent what he believed to be watershed
years in the history of the Minnesota Education Association. Many of the files
include a page of background information written by Klinkerfues to explain the
significance of the material.
