George P. Garrett papers, 1929-2008, bulk 1960-2000

268 Linear Feet 86.5 Gigabytes
George P. Garrett (1929-2008) was a poet, editor, author, and professor of English. The papers of George P. Garrett span the years 1929 to 2000 with the bulk of the material being dated between 1960 and 1990. The papers were initially collected and assembled by author, bibliographer, and publisher Stuart T. Wright. Wright published a number of Garrett's works at his Palaemon Press and also assembled the Stuart Wright Bibliographic Collection of George Garrett (see related materials held by the Rubenstein Library). Additional materials were received by the Library directly from George Garrett. The papers document Garrett's literary career as an author of novels, short stories, poetry, and dramatic works (including filmscripts) and the tremendous influence he had as an English professor and an editor on an entire generation of writers, particularly in the South. Correspondence with numerous authors, publishers, and educators offers much information about the history of 20th-century Southern literature, publishing, and literary education. The collection is divided into the Writings Series (with subseries of Writings by Garrett, Writings Edited by Garrett, Writings by Others, and Proofs); the Correspondence Series (with 5 subseries of alphabetically and chronologically arranged correspondence); the Audiovisual Material Series; the Miscellaneous Papers Series; and several series of additions.

            Boys will be boys is over
            Box 1

            Poster text: You know who you are. You are boyfriends, relatives, classmates, and strangers. You think you have the right to push us around. Think again. "Boys will be boys" is over. We're told to protect ourselves. We're warned not to go out at night alone. We're advised to get out of abusive relationships. Well, we're sick of trying to avoid you! You know who you are. We will walk down the street wearing a short skirt, or whatever we want, and it is not an invitation to you. And don't flatter yourself–we do not consider your taunts a compliment. We can't always tell the innocent flirt from the violent creep. You know who you are. Every guy is a potential threat as long as society tolerates "men behaving badly". And if you're a guy we actually like, that doesn't mean you can control us. We are not property and you do not own us. It's about power. Well, no more! We won't stand for it. We are fearless. We are strong. We demand respect. You know who you are ... and you need to stop.

            Girls have the right to a future
            Box 1

            Poster text: Girls have the right to a future, with or without a baby. We need our families' support to help us to be good parents. The baby's dad should help out, too. We're just like other girls–we want to finish high school, go to college, get a job. But it's hard. Sometimes we're told to go to a school for pregnant girls. That should be our choice. We should be allowed to stay in our regular school with friends and teachers we know. Schools should have daycare centers just like some businesses do. Some schools have special homebound programs so we don't fall behind when we first give birth. People's attitudes need to change, too. If people treat pregnant teens with respect, we will make better choices about pre-natal care, adoption, and abortion. If people accept the fact that teens have sex, we will get decent sex education, access to birth control, and be less likely to get pregnant accidentally. People have to stop treating pregnant teens and teen moms like sexual criminals.

            We've got a different spin
            Box 1

            Poster text: Does this shock you? It shouldn't. Lesbian and bisexual girls kiss, have sex, and fall in love everyday, everywhere. It's not a fad. Those heterosexual mating games like spin-the-bottle don't work the same for everyone. We've got a different spin on sexuality! We don't need boys to have fun. Lesbian and bisexual girls exist outside the stereotypes seen in movies and on TV. We might have short or long hair, wear dresses or pants, play sports or piano. You can't pick out a lesbian just by looking, but we are here. We are sisters, daughters, activists, students, and people you admire. We demand respect and equality. We are proud to be who we are–lesbian and bisexual girls of all kinds, making herstory.

                                  Doris Duke was the only child of James Buchanan (J.B.) Duke, a founder of the American Tobacco Company and Duke Energy Company and a benefactor of Duke University, and Nanaline Holt Duke. Inheriting a bulk of her father's estate in 1925, which included Duke Farms in New Jersey, Rough Point in Newport, R.I., and a mansion in New York City, Doris was soon dubbed by the press as "the richest girl in the world." Although Doris did her best to live a private life, she carried on the Duke family's pattern of philanthropy by contributing to a number of public causes such as the arts, historic preservation, and the environment. Doris Duke died in October 1993 at the age of 80. In her will she left the majority of her estate to the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. The Doris Duke Photograph Collection was created by combining color and black and white photographs, slides, negatives, and other photographic formats contained in albums, boxes, picture frames, and envelopes.

                                    Emma Goldman papers, 1909-1941 and undated

                                    0.8 Linear Feet
                                    Emma Goldman was an anarchist known for her political activism, writing, and speeches. She played a pivotal role in the development of anarchist political philosophy in North America and Europe in the first half of the 20th century. The Emma Goldman papers feature over 300 letters, primarily written by Emma Goldman, although other anarchists, activists, and thinkers are represented as authors, including Alexander Berkman, Eugene Debs, Harry Kelly, Alexander Shapiro, and the Socialist Party of New England. Many of the letter recipients are unnamed (as "Comrade"), but the majority of the letters were directed to Thomas H. Keell, an English compositor and editor for the anarchist periodical Freedom, in London. Letter topics most often center around requests made of Keell in support of various writing projects as well as speaking engagements and organizing work completed in Europe, the United States, and Canada, but also touch on visa constraints for Goldman and Berkman, the state of the anarchist movement in various countries, the lack of support for anarchist publications, as well as general position statements, especially in regard to Soviet Russia and the Spanish Civil War. There are also papers related to various prominent anarchists. These include typescript drafts of four articles and letters by anarchists; nine handwritten articles on anarchist themes written in Italian by Errico Malatesta; publications; press releases; ephemera, including tickets, brochures, solicitation letters, handbills and flyers; a contract and room layout for speaking engagements; Thomas H. Keell's list of works on anarchism; newspaper clippings; and six black-and-white photographs. The Emma Goldman papers are part of the Lisa Unger Baskin Collection.
