{"value"=>"<p>This series consists of various material collected by IBW, arranged into Collected Writings, Organization and Conference Files, and Subject Files.</p> <p>Collected writings include manuscripts submitted for publication by IBW, transcripts of lectures and speeches delivered at IBW, and other writings by IBW friends and associates or on topics of interest. Included here are Toni Cade Bambara's lecture on Vietnam (a version of which was published in <span class=\"title\">Black World View</span>), drafts of Harry Haywood's autobiography <span class=\"title\">Black Bolshevik</span> (Liberator Press, 1978), Robert Hill's unpublished three-volume history of the Pan-African movement, and various writings by Grace Lee and James Boggs, St. Clair Drake, Locksley Edmonson, C.L.R. James, Manning Marable, and Walter Rodney, among others.</p> <p>Organization and conference files include correspondence, conference material, and printed matter. A range of Black political, academic, professional and community groups are represented, including the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History, the Black Panther Party, and the Southern Christian Leadership Council. While some files consist of only a few pieces of correspondence, others are quite substantial, especially for the organizations or conferences that featured participation from IBW staff. For example, there are significant materials from the 1970 Black studies seminar held in Aspen, Colorado, which Vincent Harding attended; the National Black Sisters Conference, in which both Harding and William Strickland participated; and the Fanon Research and Development Center, whose 1977 conference featured Howard Dodson as a keynote speaker.</p> <p>The subject files consist of a mix of material, including news clippings, pamphlets, reports, and correspondence, organized by topic (original folder titles were retained when present). Of particular note are the files on the Attica prison uprising of 1971, which include extensive press clippings documenting the day-to-day media coverage of the event; and Chester Davis's files on pre-college education, which collect Davis's wide-ranging research into educational curricula for Black youth across the country.</p>"}
