The collection provides a telling insight into Detroit's school desegregation by forced busing. Wohlfield's committed personal involvement offers an important perspective into the antibusing movement. Her responsibilities as executive secretary and president of Mothers Alert Detroit are well documented in the minutes, correspondence, and notes in the collection. The collection has been arranged into the following series: Northeast Mothers Alert; Mothers Alert Detroit; Republican Party 14th Congressional District Committee; and Other Organizational Activities.
The Mothers Alert Detroit series includes minutes, correspondence, clippings, press releases, flyers for MAD rallies, and other organizational materials. Of special interest is a scrapbook, dated between 1972 and 1975, and containing photographs from rallies, marches, and fund-raisers.
