Her collection of more than 3,700 handwritten and typed letters dating back to 1958 reflects the voices of activists, writers, artists, actors, world leaders and media innovators who shaped movements, created new artistic visions and drove the intellectual and cultural discourse for civil rights and human rights for the 20th and the early years of the 21st century. The collection also documents recent exchanges between 52 students at the University of Baltimore with award-winning literary figures, performing artists and world leaders, including authors Toni Morrison, Gwendolyn Brooks and Alice Walker; Oprah Winfrey; President Barack Obama; and architect Sir David Adjaye.
