Description
-
Correspondence between Thelma Davis Ackiss and Rosenwald Fund staff, including William C. Haygood, Vandi Haygood, and Dorothy A. Elvidge. This file comprehensively documents Mrs. Ackiss's fellowship, beginning with the provision of a blank application and her subsequent submission to fund a socio-historical study of the Negro community in Houston, Texas, and to pursue her Ph.D. at the University of Chicago. The review process is detailed through numerous confidential reports and letters of reference from academics like Dr. Lorenzo Turner, Dr. Charles Thompson, Dr. Forrester B. Washington, and Dr. Horace M. Bond. Following her acceptance of the 1,800 dollar grant via telegram and formal letter, the file contains extensive administrative correspondence regarding payment plans, address changes, and the need for renewal, which is documented by payment records for multiple grant installments. Throughout the fellowship, Mrs. Ackiss provides project updates, and the file also includes a variety of her academic publications, some co-authored with Mozell C. Hill, on topics such as intra-racial cleavage, the "White Supremacy" complex, religious thought among Negroes, and social science instruction.
