{"value"=>"<p> Types of materials in this series include printed matter (reviews and feature articles, programs, flyers and broadsides, sheet music, newsletters), letters, including correspondence generated by Armstead-Johnson with donors and individuals documented in the collections, lyrics and music scores, resumes and other biographical information, scripts, sketches, academic papers, and speeches. In many cases the file consists of clippings only. Often the material documenting a performer or performance is not contemporaneous to the era in which the individual lived and worked, but comes from a source produced decades later. In several collections there is a notation for \"Helen Armstead-Johnson Notes.\" These notes are the product of Armstead-Johnson's research on the personality or production in question. Additional research notes can be found in the Armstead-Johnson Foundation for Theater Research records and the Helen Armstead-Johnson papers.</p> <p>A sampling of the documents found in the collection include Bessie Oliver Miller's (Flournoy Miller's wife) draft of her unpublished manuscript entitled \"Forbidden Kin\" (letters in the collection reflect attempts to have the book published); questionnaires that include personal and professional information on a variety of performers including Minto Cato and Joseph Attles; a transcript of the interview Helen Armstead-Johnson conducted with Ulysses S. Thompson; and Fess Williams's arrangement for <span class=\"title\">Roll Jordan Roll</span>. The collections also document non-theater related black personalities such as Shirley Black (painter), James Lowe (lawyer), and Leopold Sedar Senghor, poet and former President of Senegal.</p>"}
