Eulalie Spence was born in Nevis, West Indies on June 11, 1884. She and her family moved to New York in 1902. Ms. Spence was among the pioneer playwrights during the Harlem Renaissance and wrote fourteen plays, five of which were published. She wrote only one three act play, "The Whipping," which was optioned by Paramount Studios, but never made into a film. Several of Spence's plays won awards. The Eulalie Spence collection consists of correspondence, playbills, scripts, photographs, cassettes, agreements and newspaper clippings.
