Founded in 1970 by Faith Ringgold, Wallace, and her sister, Barbara Wallace, WSABAL was an ad hoc group of the Art Workers' Coalition, an organization of white artists protesting against the Museum of Modern Art and their callous treatment of artists and their work. The file contains letters about plans to demonstrate at the SVA show, as well as letters Wallace penned to Gloria Steinem, editor of <span class=\"title\">Ms.</span> Magazine. The Sisterhood was a black women's writers group which featured among its membership Margo Jefferson, Audre Lorde, Ntozake Shange, Alice Walker, and Wallace. These files contain minutes for meetings in 1977, in-house proposals, and letters to the membership. Additionally, Wallace's records for attending and presenting at conferences are found in the third subseries, Conferences, lectures, and speaking events. There are files for conferences including \"1968 in Global Perspective\", at Brooklyn College in 1988; \"Critical Fictions\" and \"Black Popular Culture/Mass Culture Conference\", at the Dia Art Foundation, in 1990 and 1991 respectively; and \"Yari Yari: Black Women Writers and the Future\", at New York University in 1997. Most files include drafts of speeches, research, and information about the conference or event. The next two subseries, Contracts and Correspondence, arranged by Wallace separately, relate to published writings in journals and art catalogs, as well as conferences, lectures, and speaking appearances, from 1991-2004. The last subseries, Research files, are for individuals and subjects that Wallace has written about since the early 1970s, including rap music, black women, slavery, and the arts.</p>"}
