Scope and arrangement
The Jeremy Randolph papers primarily document the activities of Randolph's small, independent black publishing company, Amuru Press during the brief period from 1972 to 1974. Files of close to two hundred writers, many who were never published previously, contain samples of their poetry, short stories, play scripts, and other writings. Many files consist only of correspondence between Amuru and the writer. There is also press and related information for the First and Second Annual Black Writers Conference he prepared in 1971 and 1972.
Files regarding Randolph contain copies of his books published by Rannick Playwrights Company, as well as other writings, in addition to personal papers.
