Programme to Combat Racism [microform] : :, 1939-1996 (inclusive).

In 1968, the WCC Central Committee created a Programme to Combat Racism (PCR). The main aim of the PCR is to define, propose and carry out ecumenical policies and programs that substantially contribute to the liberation of the victims of racism. Although it attempted to deal with racism as a world-wide problem, much of its attention and energy during the apartheid era was focused on Southern Africa. One of PCR's most effective tools has been a WCC special fund to combat racism, from which annual grants are made to racially oppressed groups and organizations supporting the victims of racism. The fund is supplied by voluntary contributions from churches as well as from local ecumenical and support groups all over the world.

Reports, general correspondence, papers, news clippings, trial reports, personal reflections, finance (grant proposal) and country files which have been collected in the World Council of Churches Archives.
