This week I continued to arrange and describe series three of O’Neal’s papers and started writing the series description. It is almost complete! Interestingly, I found many financial records in this series about the Free Southern Theater and several correspondences from O’Neal in regards to obtaining grants and funding for the theater. The philosophy of the founders of the theater felt that people need thought along with food and clothing; and, a cultural movement should coincide with the political mobilization that took place during the Civil Rights Movement. Thus, obtaining funds to support the efforts of the theater was essential to its survival.
Until next week!
Peace
