The Activism Series documents Pratt's work as an activist supporting diversity and fighting intolerance. The series comprises newspaper clippings, fliers, correspondence, and logisitical arrangements pertaining to Pratt's organizing, conference participation, and personal research. The Activism Series contains four subseries that appear in alphabetical order: Anti-Ku Klux Klan, Fayetteville, National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), and Other Issues. The Anti-Ku Klux Klan subseries contains materials related to Pratt's research about the Klan as an anti-racist activist. The Fayetteville subseries comprises materials pertaining to Pratt's early grass roots organizing efforts in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The National Endowment for the Arts subseries documents the public debate that occurred after Senator Jesse Helms referred to Pratt's work as pornography and attempted to revoke her NEA grant.
