{"value"=>"<p>This series consists of Feelings's artwork and writing, both published and unpublished, and corresponding business records. The Business records contain artist statements, copyright files, expenses, royalties and payments (for publications and speaking engagements), sales of artwork files, contracts, licensing statements, loan agreements, permissions to publish, lists of artworks, certificates of authenticity, marketing materials (press kits, price lists, press releases), exhibition materials (guest books and wall texts), and address lists. The Published subseries contains drafts (many of which are handwritten), manuscripts, mock-ups, and final versions (many of which are photocopies) of Feelings's artwork and writing; some of these files include correspondence with publishers or collaborators. Feelings's artwork, however, is mostly represented by the final printed versions of the publications in which his illustrations were used, whether for a periodical, book, brochure, poster, or card. The majority of this material is composed of various writing drafts for Feelings's two major publications, <span class=\"title\">Black Pilgrimage</span> and <span class=\"title\">The Middle Passage: White Ships/Black Cargo</span>. Materials related to the latter publication also include grant applications, marketing materials, and artwork reprints. The bulk of the Unpublished subseries consists of drafts of Feelings's autobiography; some of the writing used in <span class=\"title\">Black Pilgrimage</span> is repeated here. There also is a manuscript titled \"The Talent That We Possess,\" which was an early version of the autobiography that ends with Feelings's stint in the service; most of this manuscript was incorporated into the later, more extensive version. Additionally, there is a large amount of writing on the Middle Passage, possibly intended for a longer publication, or one with more text subject. Feelings's various speeches and lectures also are included in this subseries. The final subseries, Writing by other authors, includes research material and writing (both published and unpublished) by colleagues, friends, and organizations with which he was affiliated.</p>"}
