"I
picked up one of the books . . . . and one of the girls said
to me – 'You can’t read that – put that down. I will show you
some pictures over here,' and when she said to me 'You can’t read
that– put that down' it just did something to my pride and to my heart
that made me feel that some day I would read just as she was reading." |
Daniel
Mortimer Williams planned to write a biography of Mary McLeod Bethune
and accumulated photographs, publications and newspaper clippings for
the book. He conducted several interviews with Ms. Bethune in the
summer of 1946, though the biography was never completed.
The collection
includes a transcript of an interview apparently conducted in about 1939
or 1940 by Dr. Charles Spurgeon Johnson, an authority on race relations
who chaired the Sociology Department and was later the first black president
at traditionally-black Fisk University. (From
Collection M95-2 )
