Leslie Gerald "Jerry" Carr was a graduate student in sociology at the University of North Carolina at Hill in the 1960's and 1970's. He was involved in Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and organized and led many protests. He was a member of the SDS in 1966, when the group invited Frank Wilkinson and Herbert Aptheker, both of whom had ties to the Communist Party, to speak on campus.

The Leslie G. Carr Papers, 1966-1969, consist of a copy of Carr's FBI file and loose papers documenting his social and political activism, particularly his involvement with Students for a Democratic Society at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on non-discrimination in off-campus housing and opposition to the Vietnam War and the use of napalm. Loose papers include correspondence with UNC Chancellor Carlysle Sitterson, press releases, a petition, and fliers.
