Just a couple of years before my parents matriculated. And five years before WWII emptied these campuses of male students. There's a rich/underreported story in how the war years shifted #HBCU gender demographics. I am donating mom & dad's 1940s ltrs to @Talladega_1867 archives.

I had to promise to do an exhibition of his collection to get these photos and what an honor that was--thank you for trusting me Mr. Tolliver! It is his work that helped show this important Black life at KSU, that the archives did not have before...Black Beautiful Archives♥️
captured by Lafayette Tolliver, and thankful that he kept this Black visual historiography and granted permission for KSU to steward that collection. And yes, is this Phylicia Rashad (idk) and there is also an image of someone who looks like Kathleen Cleaver as well in these pix!
So truly truly truly tripping on this! One of the greatest and most important moments in my archival career was bringing this collection to Kent State University! Thank you @blackarchivesco for highlighting this collection, because there were some amazing moments
