Description
-
Correspondence between Wallace A. Battle and Julius Rosenwald Fund staff, including Edwin R. Embree, concerning a 1,500 dollars fellowship awarded to him in 1932 to investigate opportunities for African American colonization in Brazil. The letters document the grant's postponement due to Battle illness and discuss his final report, submitted in 1933, which concluded that colonization was a viable way of escape and noted he had secured an option on land in the state of Mato Grosso. The file contains the full text of his report, BRAZIL, A REPORT TO JULIUS ROSENWALD BOARD, internal accounting records for the grant, a post fellowship review, and an announcement of his death on September 6, 1946.
