{"value"=>"<p>Series IV holds samples of Murray's writing from throughout her life. While there are some early drafts of assorted writing dating from the 1960s through the 1980s, as well as television series and film proposals, the bulk of Murray's compositions are in the form of manuscripts from the 1990s. This includes her unpublished memoir <span class=\"title\">Newsroom/Fade to Black: The Story of the First Black Television Reporter</span>, and an unpublished novel called <span class=\"title\">The Colored Ladies Luncheon</span>. Murray revised her manuscripts many times, and submitted them in varying degrees of completion to publishers, producers, and executives. Some drafts include the correspondence she submitted with her writing, and others include feedback and rejections. Murray's memoir manuscripts reveal the most thorough narrative of her life and career, and recount stories and events that were not included in her 1968 autobiography.</p>"}
