{"value"=>"<p>Series includes the programs for memorial services conducted for Ashe in Richmond and New York City, correspondence related to memorial service arrangements, a letter and poem by Gordon Parks read at the New York service, and a prayer memorial by Ashe's friend Rev. Jefferson P. Rogers. It also includes assorted condolence cards and letters from fans, friends, and schoolchildren. The condolence letters and cards are only a sampling of those sent to the Ashe family and do not reflect the large volume of letters ultimately received. They include one from Muhammed Ali to sportscaster Bryant Gumbel, which was given to Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe some years later, asking Gumbel to convey Ali's sorrow.</p>"}
