rials that were donated to the Society – hercorrespondence, records of her offices,photographs and audio recordings in a waythat will make them understandable to any-one that wants to use her collection,” saidEmil Hoelter, processing archivist at theWisconsin Historical Society. “Vel is an in-fluential person and we are thrilled to makethis collection available to wider audiences,including students.”Vel Phillips is a prominent figure in Wis-

consin’s history, whose work as a lawyer,city alder, civil rights leader, judge and Sec-retary of State profoundly influenced Wis-consin’s civil rights history throughout thelatter half of the 20th century. She played a

The Rosa Parks Collection is Now OnlineThe Rosa Parks Collection at the

Library of Congress has been digi-tized and is now online atwww.loc.gov/collections/rosa-parks-papers/about-this-collection.The collection, which contains

approximately 7,500 manuscriptsand 2,500 photographs, is on loanto the Library for 10 years from theHoward G. Buffett Foundation. The Library received the materi-

als in late 2014, formally openedthem to researchers in the Library’sreading rooms in February 2015and now has digitized them for op-timal access by the public.“It’s a great privilege to open the Rosa Parks Collection and help people

worldwide discover more about her active life and her deep commitmentto civil rights and to children,” said David Mao, Acting Librarian of Con-gress. “From the thoughtful reflections she left us in her own handwritingto her “Featherlite Pancakes” recipe and smiling portraits, you’ll find muchto explore in this collection about Mrs. Parks’ life beyond the bus.”Parks became an iconic figure in history on Dec. 1, 1955, when she re-

fused to give up her seat to a white passenger on a segregated bus inMontgomery, Alabama. Her arrest sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a seminal event in the

Civil Rights Movement. Parks died at age 92 in 2005.The collection reveals many details of Parks’ life and personality, from

her experiences as a young girl in the segregated South to her difficultiesin finding work after the Montgomery Bus Boycott; from her love for her

The Vel Phillips Papers will behoused at UW-Milwaukee Libraries, but will be available throughout thestate via the unique Area Research Center transfer network.To view selected digitized portions of the collection, visit wisconsin-

sonal correspondence, family pho-tographs, letters from presidents,fragmentary drafts of some of herwritings from the time of the Mont-gomery Bus Boycott, her Presiden-tial Medal of Freedom andCongressional Gold Medal, addi-tional honors and awards, presen-tation albums, drawings sent to herby schoolchildren and hundreds ofgreeting cards from individualsthanking her for her impact on civilrights. The vast majority of these items

may be viewed online. Other ma-terial is available to researchersthrough the Manuscript and Prints

and Photographs reading rooms.The Library of Congress has cre-

ated a video, which tells the story ofacquiring and preparing the collec-t i o n :www.loc.gov/today/cyberlc/fea-ture_wdesc.php?rec=7081.In the video, Howard G. Buffett,

chairman and CEO of the HowardG. Buffett Foundation, said, “I thinkit's so important for us to rememberthe iconic figures that changed ourlives and gave us what we haveand preserved what we have . . .Rosa Parks showed how much dif-ference one person can make. It'simportant for our children to seethat and to really embrace it andunderstand it. Without getting this collection out

of the boxes and out of the ware-

house and in front of people, thatwasn't going to happen. And so, I thought we should

make sure that this was in a placewhere millions of people can see itand benefit from it and, obviously,the Library of Congress, there's noplace better than this facility andthis team to do that.”The Rosa Parks Collection joins

additional important civil rights ma-terials at the Library of Congress,including the papers of ThurgoodMarshall, A. Philip Randolph, Ba-yard Rustin, Roy Wilkins and therecords of both the NAACP and the

National Urban League. The collection becomes part of

the larger story of our nation, avail-able alongside the presidential pa-pers of George Washington,Thomas Jefferson and AbrahamLincoln, and the papers of manyothers who fought for equality, in-cluding Susan B. Anthony, PatsyMink and Frank Kameny.To support teachers and students

as they explore this one-of-a-kindcollection, the Library is offering aPrimary Source Gallery with class-room-ready highlights from theRosa Parks papers and teaching

ideas for educators. For more information, see

www.loc.gov/teachers/classroom-materials/presentationsandactivi-ties/presentations/rosa-parks-gallery/.The Library of Congress, the

largest library in the world, holdsmore than 162 million items in var-ious languages, disciplines and for-mats. The Library serves the U.S. Con-

gress and the nation both on-site inits reading rooms on Capitol Hilland through its website atwww.loc.gov.

end Gladys Knight and opera vocalist, JessyeNorman.A year after opening her store, Valdes was

worked in exclusive circles and word of her de-signs caught the attention of Playboy’s HughHefner.Hefner commissioned Valdes to design the

Playboy Bunny costume after the magazine’spromotions director, Victor Lownes, came upwith the idea. The costume made its formaldebut in February 1960.In 1970, Valdes started working with founder

Arthur Mitchell and the Dance Theater ofHarlem. She worked for the celebrated dancecompany for 18 years, retiring in 1988. She diedat the age of 96 in 2001.
