Description
-
Correspondence between joint applicants Thelma D. Ackiss and Mozell C. Hill and Rosenwald Fund staff, including William C. Haygood, Vandi V. Haygood, Dorothy A. Elvidge, and Dr. Edwin R. Embree. This extensive file documents their entire joint fellowship process, initiated by telegrams requesting applications and followed by the submission of multiple handwritten and complete formal applications for both individuals, which include their plans of work, budget estimates, university transcripts, and photographs. The rigorous review process is detailed through numerous confidential reports and recommendation letters from a wide range of academics and professionals, including Dr. Ralph Bunche, Dr. Robert E. Park, Dr. John Dollard, Dr. Mandel Sherman, and Mr. G.L. Harrison. The file tracks the successful awarding of the grant through approval letters, subsequent correspondence establishing and adjusting the payment plan, and numerous Payment Vouchers from 1943. It also contains their collaborative research, including the study "Culture of a Contemporary All-Negro Community" and related articles. The record concludes with correspondence regarding a fellowship extension for Mr. Hill.
