{"value"=>"<p>Ranging from 1940 to 1973, and bearing the title \"Née pour la danse\" (\"Born to Dance\"), is a series of scrapbooks elaborately organized by Williams herself. The scrapbooks are arranged chronologically and document Williams's successes in Haiti and her role in the valorization of the island's African-derived folklore as a tourist attraction and as a new vista for the local elite. They consist, for the most part, of newspaper and magazine articles, with occasional photographs, performance programs, and other memorabilia. The focus varies on Haiti to Jamaica and the dates overlap, in some cases, as a result. The 1953-1954 volume includes some memorabilia of Haitian President Paul Eugene Magloire's family. The three scrapbooks from the First World Festival of Negro Arts (Dakar, Senegal, 1966) include several photographs with President Francois Duvalier, including a portrait with Williams, and photographs of performances by the participating Haitian Troupe Nationale Folklorique in Dakar.</p>"}
