Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

Papers related to the black deaf project by Sandy White fill this collection. Sandy White made photocopies of documents for her research and collected them into one collection. There are correspondences related to black deaf students’ enrollment into the Kendall School and Maryland School for Colored Blind and Deaf-Mutes. Some copies of little paper families from Alabama Banner, the Silent Worker, Just Once a Month, and Buff and Blue are present in the collection. Copies of school for the deaf reports from schools that contain a separate program for the colored or Negro deaf students are included. Transcribing of the videotaped interviews with Rubye Frye and Mary Phillips, former employees of the colored Maryland School, are in one of the folders. All this work goes into the production of the documentary film titled “Class of ’52.” Videotapes of interviews and final copy of the documentary film are in a separate file in the Gallaudet University Deaf Archives. They are available upon request.
