Abstract |
The Anne C. Stouffer Foundation was established in 1967 by Anne Forsyth of Winston-Salem,
N.C., to promote the integration of preparatory schools in the South. Over its eight
years of operation, the Foundation helped 142 students, chiefly African Americans,
gain admission to preparatory schools in North Carolina, Virginia, Mississippi, Florida,
Alabama, and other southern states. A driving force in the Foundation's work was novelist
John Ehle, who was active in recruiting and placing students. By 1975, the Foundation's
goal of preparatory school integration was largely achieved, and the program was halted. The collection includes correspondence, reports, student files, photographs, audiocassettes,
and other materials relating to the Anne C. Stouffer Foundation's work in integrating
southern prepartory schools. Also included are some materials regarding grape growing
that belonged to John Ehle, and materials regarding efforts to establish a music conservatory
program in South Africa.
