                <text>In 2009, BBRM staff and volunteers began the archiving of this collection, with the arranging of objects chronologically (1935 – 1995) and the purchasing of proper archival storage materials. In 2011, an oral finding aid with provenance was constructed by conversations between University of Alabama School of Library and Information Studies (UA SLIS) volunteer Lindsey Reynolds (now at University of Georgia, Athens Library) and BBRM Director Bob Friedman. In 2013 and 2014, those interviews were transcribed by UA SLIS volunteer Michael Mitchell (known affectionately as the MMT).  For each object, the original finding aid conversation has been added and can be found in quotes in the description section. As of the most recent online uploading in August, 2019, the Ephemera Collection consisted of eight boxes containing 413 folders with approximately 850 files, spanning the period 1935-1989.</text>

              <text>Box 3 Folder 15: "We are now on folder 15. This is an article entitled “What Negroes are Doing:  Dr. Trenholm, President of Alabama State College for Negroes in Montgomery, Alabama is the commencement speaker at Ullman High School in Birmingham scheduled for Jan21, 1955.  This from the Birmingham News from January 16, 1955. Which we determined already is a Sunday. Looking over it, it just talks about, I’m not sure by looking at this unless I take the time to figure out why I put it in here as to whether it was just a reflection of the time or if it was something specific to a particular radio station. However, little advertisement for "Negroes" : “In the event of death always call Smith and Gaston the South’s finest Negro funeral directors.” "</text>
