{"value"=>"<p>This series primarily consists of writing by Henry Lee Moon, both published and unpublished. Most of the published material contains handwritten notes, drafts (typescripts with edits), final published versions, and reprints of articles for newspapers, magazines, and book chapters, including <span class=\"title\">The New York Times</span>, <span class=\"title\">New York Amsterdam News</span>, and <span class=\"title\">Phylon</span>, among others; and two books, <span class=\"title\">Balance of Power: The Negro Vote</span> and <span class=\"title\">The Emerging Thought of W. E. B. Du Bois: Essays and Editorials from</span> The Crisis. Also included is one poem, published in <span class=\"title\">The Crisis</span> in 1928. The Unpublished subseries includes various unpublished articles, mostly as typescripts; books, including one on the Black market, another entitled \"What Democracy?\" (initially cowritten with Frank Horne and later reworked by Moon, possibly as a different publication), and Moon's memoirs; speeches and lectures; works written on behalf of others; fiction; and handwritten notes. Additionally, there is one folder of Mollie Moon's writing, which mainly consists of drafts and final versions of various speeches. The final subseries encompasses work (mostly writing, but in one case, a drawing) by other authors, both published and unpublished, either used by Moon as research for his own writing or works of colleagues.</p>"}
