View C. Correspondence with Admirers
Marian Anderson wrote in a clear, large, rounded hand. This series includes a few of her drafts for speeches she made on special occasions, but, for the most part, her writings and speeches were the work of Hurok Concerts' publicists, Gerald Goode and Barry Hyams. The scripts that were prepared for her broadcasts and public appearances are of particular interest for studies of the development of radio and television. Articles about Marian Anderson and biographical materials, including interviews, have been grouped together. Magazines in Series V contains additional articles, and in some cases, the published versions of drafts in this series. Anderson's autobiography, My Lord, What a Morning (1956) was written by Howard Taubman and based on interviews he conducted with Anderson (see Ms. Coll. 201). In this series are found the typescript and galleys for the book with some corrections in Marian Anderson's hand. The remainder of this series comprises newsletters and typed and printed materials sent to Anderson, many from African-American organizations.
Includes articles "by Marian Anderson," although some were prepared by Hurok's staff, and speeches drafted or read by Anderson.
