Scope and Content Note
The subject files are arranged in alphabetical order and have been kept as closely as possible to the original order. The files include articles, newspaper clippings, some correspondence and notes, research materials and obituaries. Some correspondence, primarily letters received from people of note, has been removed from the subject files and placed in the alphabetical correspondence series. For continuity of important topics, such as Russia trip and "Black and White" film project, correspondence remains in the subject files. Of particular in this series are files relating to the "Black and White" film project, the Angela Davis Defense Fund, the Harlem Suitcase Theatre, the William Patterson Foundation, and files related to Patterson's trips to the Soviet Union.
