bioghist
{"value"=>"<p>It is unclear when Feelings began writing his autobiography, but it was most likely in the early 1970s, since some of the text overlaps with that of <span class=\"title\">Black Pilgrimage</span>. Additionally, the manuscript is divided into sections that are similar to those of <span class=\"title\">Black Pilgrimage</span>. Presumably, he began with \"The Talent That We Possess\" in the early 1970s, and continued writing through the end of that decade, since the manuscript ends with his divorce to Muriel Feelings. He possibly wrote through the 1990s, as indicated by <span class=\"title\">The New York Times</span> article in box 23, folder 18.</p>"}
arrangement
{"value"=>"<p>Organized into sections according to Feelings's notes in box 23, folder 5. Titles of sections in quotes are Feelings's own.</p>"}
