This week I contributed to Amistad’s e-newsletter by writing
an article about O’Neal and I continued to process O’Neal’s papers. The papers are
almost complete (Yay!).
I am working diligently to arrange and describe the Other Materials
section of the papers, which is one of the largest series of the collection. An
interesting find in this series include files for Tell Me A Story, Sing Me A Song, a three-day celebration of oral history
and cultural identity. The traveling performance festival presented the works
of the Free Southern Theater, the Roadside Theater, A Traveling Jewish Theatre,
and El Teatro Campesino, and weaved together the best of Appalachian, Southern
Black, urban Jewish, and Latino cultural traditions. The traveling group toured
and performed at several universities such as Xavier University and the Stone
Center for the Performing Arts at Jacksonville State University.
Next week I will complete this series and process the
Financial Records Series, another small series of O’Neal’s papers.
