Collection folders are arranged alphabetically.","Theresa Pollak (1899-2002) was a Virginia artist and art educator who was instrumental in the founding of Virginia Commonwealth University's School of the Arts. Born in Richmond, Virginia, Pollak was a nationally recognized painter whose art works have been exhibited in institutions such as the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the Museum of Fine Art in Boston, and the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D. C. More importantly, Pollak is credited with the introduction of modern art to Richmond.","Born August 13th, 1899, Pollak graduated from Westhampton College of the University of Richmond. In 1920 she was accepted at the Art Students League of New York, and with the support of Dr. Orie Latham Hatcher, who helped her get a tuition scholarship, she was able to continue her work at the League after graduating from Westhampton in 1921. During Pollak's stay in New York, one of her drawings was awarded the first prize at the Studio club of New York (1926). She continued her training with post-graduate work at the Fogg Museum of Harvard University, and later she studied at the Hans Hoffmann School of Painting in Provincetown, Massachusetts.","In 1928 Pollak became the first full time art teacher at Richmond Professional Institute (RPI), at that time a division of William and Mary College. Two years later she also helped start an art program at Westhampton College. In 1935 she began teaching full time at RPI and devoted much of her other time to her own work. A year after RPI merged in 1968 with the Medical College of Virginia to become Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), Pollak retired from the school. In 1971, the newly completed fine arts building on what is now the Monroe Park campus of VCU was named in her honor. Her forty-one year teaching career influenced generations of Virginia artists.","A noted Virginia artist with paintings in the permanent collections of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, the University of Virginia, Mary Baldwin College, and in numerous private collections, Pollak's paintings are part of the Permanent Research Collection at Virginia Commonwealth University's Anderson Gallery.

Raised primarily in Merchantville, New Jersey, Walker attended Virginia Union University in Richmond, Virginia, earning bachelor's degrees in chemistry and physics before attending VUU's seminary school for his Masters of Divinity. During his time at VUU, he married his wife, Theresa Ann Walker née Edwards, who would remain an active partner at his side throughout his life. While in seminary, Walker was the head of the university's Inter-Seminary Movement, where he first met Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Walker and King would remain friends until King's assassination in 1968.","After graduating from seminary, Walker was called in 1953 to serve as the pastor of the historic Gillfield Baptist Church in Petersburg, Virginia, serving until 1960. During this time he founded the Petersburg Improvement Association, served as president for the local National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) chapter, and co-founded and served as state director for the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). He also actively worked to integrate the city of Petersburg, successfully desegregating the Petersburg Public Library, lunch counters, and bus stops in the city.","In 1960, Walker was recruited to serve as the first full-time executive director and chief strategist of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), Dr. King's civil rights organization. He served in this role until 1964, overseeing the organization of several notable events in the Civil Rights Movement, including Project \"C\", SCLC's involvement in the Birmingham campaign, and the 1964 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. In 1961, Walker and his wife were arrested as Freedom Riders in Jackson, Mississippi. Mrs. Walker also survived a hotel bombing with their children and multiple other arrests for her role in the Civil Rights Movement.","After leaving SCLC in 1964, Walker worked with the Negro Heritage Library, an organization focused on getting Black literature into the public education system. In 1968 Dr. Walker was called to serve as senior pastor at Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in Harlem, New York, where he served for 37 years. He was installed as pastor in late March by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who gave his final sermon in New York City at the installation service before his assassination a few weeks later. Walker then organized King's funeral in New York City at the express request of Coretta Scott King, an event he would later call \"the crowning achievement of my organizational career.\" He would prove to be a productive pastor for Canaan, at one point receiving a million dollars annually in tithes, expanding the church building, and leading multiple church trips to the Holy Land and other international destinations including Japan.","During his time at Canaan, Walker continued his civil rights work, expanding his scope to international civil rights, serving on the board of Al Sharpton's National Action Network and a number of other organizations. A vocal supporter of anti-apartheid, Walker visited South Africa several times, serving as an election monitor in Souther Africa's first open election and becoming close friends with Nelson Mandela, who would visit Canaan Baptist Church as one of his first stops on his first presidential visit to the United States. Walker also worked with Governor Nelson Rockefeller as a special assistant on urban affairs. When national banks pulled out of Harlem, Walker opened Freedom National Bank to serve the Black community. He also developed a number of public housing projects, at one time acting as the largest single public housing developer in New York. Frustrated with the failures of the public education system, Walker worked to help pass the New York State charter school law and co-found the first charter school in the state, the Sisulu-Walker Charter School of Harlem.","In his down time, Walker enjoyed sailing, belonging to a local yacht club in Yonkers, New York, and photography. After receiving a doctorate in ethnomusicology from Colgate-Rochester Divinity School, he went on to teach seminary classes at Virginia Union University and United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio.","Walker retired from Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in 2004 after a series of strokes, moving to Chester, Virginia. In 2015 he and Mrs. Walker donated the Dr. and Mrs. Wyatt Tee Walker Collection to the University of Richmond, recording an oral history with the university in 2016. He remained in Virginia with his wife until his death at the age of 89 on January 23, 2018.","Processed by Taylor McNeilly and Andrea Kohashi.","Materials in this collection include personal papers and administrative files of Dr. Walker, audio recordings of church services he led primarily at Canaan Baptist Church of Christ, photographs and slides taken by Dr. Walker and his family, honors and awards given to Dr. and Mrs. Walker, Dr. Walker's personal library, Dr. Walker's published books, and other memorabilia and ephemera. Also included is an oral history performed with Dr. Walker and his wife.","Dr. Walker's personal library has been separated from the collection and is housed within the Galvin Rare Book Room.

Mrs. Walker also survived a hotel bombing with their children and multiple other arrests for her role in the Civil Rights Movement.","After leaving SCLC in 1964, Walker worked with the Negro Heritage Library, an organization focused on getting Black literature into the public education system. In 1968 Dr. Walker was called to serve as senior pastor at Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in Harlem, New York, where he served for 37 years. He was installed as pastor in late March by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who gave his final sermon in New York City at the installation service before his assassination a few weeks later. Walker then organized King's funeral in New York City at the express request of Coretta Scott King, an event he would later call \"the crowning achievement of my organizational career.\" He would prove to be a productive pastor for Canaan, at one point receiving a million dollars annually in tithes, expanding the church building, and leading multiple church trips to the Holy Land and other international destinations including Japan.","During his time at Canaan, Walker continued his civil rights work, expanding his scope to international civil rights, serving on the board of Al Sharpton's National Action Network and a number of other organizations. A vocal supporter of anti-apartheid, Walker visited South Africa several times, serving as an election monitor in Souther Africa's first open election and becoming close friends with Nelson Mandela, who would visit Canaan Baptist Church as one of his first stops on his first presidential visit to the United States. Walker also worked with Governor Nelson Rockefeller as a special assistant on urban affairs. When national banks pulled out of Harlem, Walker opened Freedom National Bank to serve the Black community. He also developed a number of public housing projects, at one time acting as the largest single public housing developer in New York. Frustrated with the failures of the public education system, Walker worked to help pass the New York State charter school law and co-found the first charter school in the state, the Sisulu-Walker Charter School of Harlem.","In his down time, Walker enjoyed sailing, belonging to a local yacht club in Yonkers, New York, and photography. After receiving a doctorate in ethnomusicology from Colgate-Rochester Divinity School, he went on to teach seminary classes at Virginia Union University and United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio.","Walker retired from Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in 2004 after a series of strokes, moving to Chester, Virginia. In 2015 he and Mrs. Walker donated the Dr. and Mrs. Wyatt Tee Walker Collection to the University of Richmond, recording an oral history with the university in 2016.

Schultz's paternal grandparents, Augustus Frederick Schultz and Hanna Ernestine von Sauermann, immigrated to Virginia from Prussia with their children when Harleigh Schultz's father, August F. Schultz II, was a small child. A. F. Schultz II married Annie Hoomes Bridges, of Gloucester, Virginia and had five children: Bernard F. Schultz, Harleigh B. Schultz, Mary Maude Schultz (who married Walter McLelland), Annie Louise Schultz (who was called by her middle name), and August Gwynne Schultz.","This collection indicates that Schultz attended Richmond Public Schools and then Richmond College, now the University of Richmond, from which he graduated in 1904. While at the college, he achieved high marks and was an editor on the Collegian student newspaper. After school, Schultz worked as a reporter on the Richmond Evening Journal for one year, according to his niece, Evelyn McLelland Boschen, and then moved to Massachusetts to work as a reporter for the Worcester Telegram.  Shortly after, on March 7, 1906, Schultz married Natalie Salandri, whose father also worked at the newspaper. Harleigh and Natalie's children were Francis A. Schultz (who died of an illness in 1925 at the age of 17), Robert H. Schultz, and Eleanor L. Schultz. A 1921 news clipping in the collection indicated that at that time, the family lived in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, and Schultz was principal of the West Tisbury School there. A 1926 letter addressed to Natalie shows that Schultz was also an officer for the Redland District Chamber of Commerce in Homestead, Florida for an undetermined period. In addition, Schultz's niece wrote that he worked as a reporter for the Boston American for 15 years, as a sports editor, motion picture critic, and city editor, though the letters in the collection that were written on Boston American letterhead span only from October 1927 to May 1934.","On November 26, 1930, Schultz informed his sister, Louise, that he and Natalie were separated and planning to divorce. A news clipping in the collection announces Schultz's marriage to \nAlice G. Falvey of Boston on June 30, 1932. Harleigh and Alice Schultz moved to Hollywood in 1934 in the hopes of finding a new job and life there. The first letters they sent from California to the Schultz family indicate that they were happy with the new location and had made friends with film star Mary Pickford. Schultz's first job in California was in the publicity department at R. K. O., but he moved to work for the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Corporation in 1935, where he stayed until his retirement in 1956. During that time, Schultz became the Publicity Chairman and served on MGM's board of governors. Harleigh Schultz died on October 22, 1958, and was buried in North Hollywood. Mary Pickford, his friend of 24 years, handled arrangements for his funeral.","The materials in this collection were removed from a three-ring binder labeled Middle Peninsula Planning District Commission. The papers were arranged and put in acid-free folders. Those that were in a fragile condition were placed in mylar sleeves, and several newspaper clippings were photocopied. Where possible, the copies are kept with the original. Two documents, copies of the Collegian, the Richmond College newspaper, were removed to oversized storage.","Processed by Ashley Vavra.","This collection began as a scrapbook of papers related to Harleigh Bridges Schultz.

A 1921 news clipping in the collection indicated that at that time, the family lived in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, and Schultz was principal of the West Tisbury School there.

He was born on May 30, 1941, in Columbus, Georgia where he also grew up. Rachels received a bachelor's degree from Mercer University in 1962 and a Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1967.","After receiving his Ph.D., Rachels taught at the University of Richmond in Richmond, Virginia from 1966 until 1968. He subsequently taught at New York University (1968-1972), the University of Miami (1972-1977), and Duke University (1975) before coming to the University of Alabama at Birmingham where he taught from 1977 until his death in 2003. At the University of Alabama, Rachels served as the Chair of the Department of Philosophy from 1977-1979, Dean of the School of Humanities from 1978-1983, and acting Academic Vice President in 1983.","In 1971, he edited his first book, Moral Problems: A Collection of Philosophical Essays, which had great success as a college philosophy textbook. He wrote a second textbook, The Elements of Moral Philosophy, in 1986. In its sixth edition (2010), The Elements of Moral Philosophy continues to be widely used as a college philosophy textbook.","Rachels' highly influential article, \"Active and Passive Euthanasia,\" was published in 1975 in the New England Journal of Medicine.  This work solidified his role as an important medical ethicist in the debate concerning euthanasia. His second book, The End of Life: Euthanasia and Morality, was published in 1986. It was widely reviewed and debated in both popular newspapers and scholarly journals.

She was married to William \"Bill\" Jackson until her death.","During the Second World War, women were thrust into the workforce worldwide with varying degrees of involvement, whether it was commercial sewing or making war materials in factories and homes. In the United States, jobs for women trended towards the former. Lenora Little, an African American woman, worked as a typist in Washington, D.C. while her boyfriend, and later husband, Bill was drafted into the Army in 1943. African Americans in the military were largely assigned to noncombat roles in segregated units prior to D-Day, performing duties then deemed \"menial,\" such as logistics. African American military members would enter into combat in places like the Battle of the Bulge, and the Army would be desegregated in 1948.","Processing completed by Christopher Babbitt in February 2020. EAD markup completed by Christopher Babbitt in February 2020. Finding aid updated by Amanda Menjivar in July 2020 and February 2026.","This scrapbook contains correspondence from Lenora Little to her boyfriend, and later husband, William \"Bill\" Jackson, an African American couple, dated September 1943-December 1944. During this time Bill was a soldier serving in the army during World War II. The scrapbook also includes letters written to friends and family and ephemera like newsclippings and event programs. It also includes one photograph of Lenora. Some parts of Lenora's letters are written in Spanish.","All letters within the scrapbook were authored by Lenora, who wrote to Bill consistently while he was stationed at Fort Lee in Prince George County, Virginia and she resided in Washinton, D.C. Due to censorship requiring all information about Army activity to be kept out of correspondence from servicemen, information about Bill, his rank, and his life in the Army are left undiscussed. Lenora mostly discusses their relationship and her life during the war.
