{"value"=>"<p>Listed alphabetically. The African Studies Association file includes letters from Melville Herskovits and L. Gray Gowan regarding the Association's 1958 annual meeting in Chicago which Drake helped organize. The American Committee on Africa file reveals a close relationship between Drake and the Committee's executive director, George Hauser, in the early days of the organization. Drake was also a member of the Executive Council of the American Society for African Culture. The AMSAC files include correspondence with Executive Director John A. Davis, minutes, annual reports and printed matter of the organization, and a detailed outline for a chapter on African and African-American relations for a 1966 book edited by Davis. The files of the Association of Black Anthropologists consist of correspondence and other material toward a volume of essays on the first generation of black anthropologists to be edited by Drake and Glenn Jordan, in addition to biographical articles and printed matter of the organization. Also included in this series are miscellaneous materials from James Forman, International Affairs director of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (1967) and some \"Random Notes on Black Power\" by Drake (SNCC file).</p>"}
