a. First Letter: An undated letter from Julian Mayfield addressed to Wilhelmina Leigh and typed on New York University letterhead – This letter mentions Leigh's planned trip to Africa in the coming year. Thus, the letter was likely dated and sent in 1968. [Note from Leigh: I traveled to Upper Volta (now Burkina Faso) in summer of 1969 as a research assistant for Professor Ian Pool (then a faculty member in the Department of Sociology at Cornell University). Dr. Pool and his assistants conducted a survey for the United Nations Population Council before a family planning program was implemented in Upper Volta.] The description of the rigors of movie making provided in this letter is based on Mayfield’s experience while playing the role of Tank in the motion picture “Uptight.” The film was released in either 1968 or 1969. b. Second Letter: A letter from Julian Mayfield addressed to Wilhelmina Leigh, dated May 2, 1969 (and typed on New York University letterhead) – The first part of the letter included suggestions for Leigh's travel in Africa. In the last two sentences of the last paragraph of this letter, Mr. Mayfield makes reference to the 1969 Willard Straight takeover by Afro American students. He also suggests that the takeover at Cornell may have influenced students at Vorhees to do something similar: “Voorhees University is a small, private, historically black university in Denmark, SC. It is affiliated with the Episcopal Church and accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. In 1969, 75 students in the predominantly Black student body organized a two-day armed occupation of the college to demand the following: more Black study programs, the hiring of Black faculty, and outreach to assist the local, low-income community of Denmark with college scholarships. The protesters surrendered, but were subsequently arrested. Many were also suspended from the school.” [Note from Leigh: When I first searched on the Internet for information about Voorhees University, I found details about the 1969 student occupation in the local newspaper. I did not find any information about the 1969 student rebellion on the website of the school. When I searched again for the relevant information a few days later, I was able to access it only if I paid to subscribe to the local newspaper. I did not subscribe to the local newspaper.]
