{"value"=>"<p>Series contains very little biographical and personal information about Baker. There are five telegrams (1927-1935) from T. J. Robinson, Baker's future husband and fellow graduate from Shaw University; two essays written while Baker was an undergraduate student at Shaw University - The Challenge of the Age and the Negro Youth and The Challenge of the Age and the Youth of the Land; and miscellaneous personal correspondence (1934-1980). The bulk of the material in this series is undated.</p> <p>Filed with the Personal Papers are three folders of research material collected by Baker biographer, Joanne Grant, while working on the biography Ella Baker: Freedom Bound (1998) and the documentary film, Fundi: The Story of Ella Baker, which she wrote, produced and directed. Included in the research files are transcripts of interviews with Baker, index cards with research notes relating to the Baker family and Baker's academic background, as well as chapter drafts. Biographical materials on George Schuyler, along with photocopies from the Martin Luther King Jr. Papers at Boston University and photocopies from the records of the NAACP-National office at the Library of Congress, also gathered by Joanne Grant for this project, can be found here. Some oversized photocopies from the NAACP organizational records and memorandum are filed with the oversized printed materials in Box 14.</p>"}
