Notes of condolence to family: D-F, 1998

The Rosa Freeman Keller papers consist of correspondence, news clippings, collected ephemera and publications, and photographs reflecting Rosa Keller's wide civic involvement and especially her activism in the areas of race relations and social welfare. Materials of note involve Keller's involvement with Dillard University and Flint-Goodridge Hospital; the Committee to Name Public Schools in New Orleans; and correspondence and other materials integral to the suit brought against Tulane University of New Orleans by Barbara Guillory and Pearlie Elloie for the desegregation of that university. Of significant research value to those interested in African American grassroots politics in the mid-twentieth century is a special reprint edition of the States-Item newspaper entitled "Black Politics in New Orleans." Prominent correspondents in the Rosa Freeman Keller papers include John P. Nelson, John Furey, Albert W. Dent, various administrators of Tulane University, Pearlie Elloie, Elizabeth Wisner, and Rosa Freeman Keller.
