Henry and Willa Adams Papers
Description: This bulletin written by Reverend A. L. Reed expresses regret that the recipient could not attend a recent protest that took place on September 17th but encourages him to attend in the future. It also outlines additional steps that African Americans in Toledo, Ohio, were taking to protest their lack of civil rights, including an upcoming rally and a speech by Martin Luther King, Jr. at Toledo's Scott High School. This item comes from the Henry and Willa Adams Papers. Henry and Willa Adams moved to Toledo in 1942, from Florida and Georgia. Henry Adams was a shoemaker, a self-taught podiatrist, a real estate broker and a landlord; his wife, Willa, was a well-known caterer who worked for Toledo’s society matrons and prepared food for holiday parties and church events.
