{"value"=>"<p>Subseries touches on Hansberry's early years as a student, as well as her move from Chicago to New York in 1959, where she became a professional writer while concurrently deepening her commitment to social justice. There are also documents acquired via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) dealing with Hansberry's membership in the Young Progressives of America, a student organization at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. The papers, syllabus and notes from an African history course that Hansberry took with historian W. E. B. DuBois in 1953 are also in the files. Included is an essay and letters written about Hansberry by a former classmate at the University of Wisconsin. This information was requested by Nemiroff in his efforts to pull together a critical mass of documents by and about Hansberry. Although the LEGACY series contains the bulk of the results of Nemiroff's \"tracing\", efforts (as he called it) to trace or track down original documents and memories of people who knew Hansberry, his overall design for the Hansberry papers is evident throughout the entire collection.</p>"}
