{"value"=>"<p>The WRITINGS SERIES (1947-80) has over one thousand of Galamison's sermons which are arranged chronologically; those without dates are in alphabetical order. The majority of sermons have been kept with the church bulletin corresponding to that day. A few sermons were filed by the donor with a bulletin indicating a different sermon title than that noted on the sermon. These were left as they were, on the assumption that the donor had a purpose for keeping them together. All sermons were preached at Witherspoon or Siloam Church, except for a folder of sermons which Galamison preached as a visiting pastor. There are also handwritten sermons, church bulletins from which the sermon is missing, and miscellaneous pages of sermons. Several sermon titles are repeated because Galamison often preached the same themes over the years, although he changed the sermon's content.</p> <p> The WRITINGS SERIES also includes a copy of Galamison's Master's Thesis, <span class=\"title\">Salvation Themes in the Great Religions,</span> and several short articles on a variety of topics. An autobiographical manuscript which Galamison intended to publish makes up a large part of the series as well. The manuscript, <span class=\"title\">A Grand and Awful Time,</span> appears first in its most updated form with several editorial marks and corrections. This is followed by a draft without corrections that has missing chapters. Lastly, there are drafts of each chapter contained in separate folders. The manuscript is an account of African Americans' attempts to change the New York City school system, particularly focusing on Galamison's struggles during thirteen years of fighting for integration. Folders eighty-one and eighty-two appear to be chapters of the manuscript but are not contained in the final draft found in this collection. The WRITINGS SERIES also has speeches made by Galamison, as well as a Research File containing clippings and other printed material that he apparently used in writing his articles and sermons.</p>"}
