{"value"=>"<p>Writings are divided into <em>Writings by Joseph F. Beam</em>and <em>Writings by Other Authors.</em>The series begins with two clipping files and a scrapbook of published articles and essays, interviews and reviews created by Beam. Manuscripts and typescripts of articles, short stories and essays are arranged alphabetically by titles. \"Brother to Brother\" and \"No Cheek to Turn,\" two short stories that received critical attention, are accompanied by several drafts and handwritten notes. Typescripts of interviews with authors Sonia Sanchez and Audre Lorde, civil rights activist Bayard Rustin, and others form a separate subgroup. Other authors in this series include Essex Hemphill, Michelle Parkerson, Sandra Karp, Assoto Saint, and contributors to the first issue of <em>Other Countries,</em>a black gay journal launched in New York in 1988.</p>"}
