Margaret Callender McCulloch papers

The papers of historian and race relations activist Margaret Callender McCulloch include articles, pamphlets, speeches, reports, and poem written by McCulloch, as well as a typescript of "Can This Be Me?...memories of Mary Eliza West, Freedwoman" about a former enslaved woman on a Georgia plantation, edited by McCulloch. The collection also includes correspondence, photographs, a genealogical chart, a map, and handwritten transcripts of correspondence of physician Francis Julius LeMoyne and Baptist missionary to Sierra Leone Max Gorvie. Also present are two hand-loomed draperies from Sierra Leone.

Additionally, the papers consist of a single audiocassette oral history interview with McCulloch conducted by Clifton H. Johnson. The interview focused on the tenure of McCulloch in American Missionary Association-founded institutions, including LeMoyne College and Fisk University, where she taught English and History. She was a participant in the Race Relations Institutes held at Fisk from the 1940s until the late 1960s, and worked at LeMoyne from the mid-1930s to the 1940s. The interview was conducted August 24, 1988.
