{"value"=>"<p>The Lyonel C. Florant Papers consist of reports and some research files that Florant prepared and gathered primarily regarding African American migration and population studies across the country, mostly for the Negro in America study. Other investigators represented in this collection include Samuel A. Stouffer, V. B. Stanbery, Aubrey Clyde Robinson, Glenore Fisk Horne, and Frank Lorimer. The collection contains carbon copies of reports and fragments of the typescript of \"Negro Migration 1860-1940\", as well as state planning board studies. Among the manuscripts are studies of migrant workers in general and in Florida, and census data on migration. There are also reports about student housing in Newport News, Virginia (1941).</p> <p>Of interest are Gunnar Myrdal's reports of interviews he conducted with sociologist Horace Cayton; they interviewed union organizer J. Levirt Kelly and Senator Theodore G. Bilbo of Mississippi (1940). Senator Bilbo, an ultraconservative southern Democrat, was known for his racism and sponsorship of a bill in Congress for the Voluntary Repatriation of American Negroes to Africa.</p>"}
