BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE
Eugene Winslow was born on November 17, 1919 in Dayton, Ohio. His parents were college graduates who encouraged all seven of their children to pursue education and the arts. Winslow attended Froebel High School in Gary, Indiana and then received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Dillard University in New Orleans in 1943. After graduating from Dillard, Winslow entered the 477th Bomber Group of the Air Force, making him a member of the Tuskegee Airmen. He attained the rank of Second Lieutenant. He later served in the Air Force Reserve, becoming a First Lieutenant before he left in 1957.
After the war, Winslow’s lifelong interest in art drew him to do post-graduate work at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Institute of Design at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago. He studied at these institutions concurrently from 1948 to 1951. Throughout his early career, Winslow supplemented the income from his art by teaching and working as a newspaper cartoonist, advertising designer, and engineering draftsman. In 1963, he joined two friends to start Afro-AM Publishing where he was able to create his own projects. David P. Ross, a graduate of the Art Institute of Chicago, became Afro-Am’s president. Winslow was treasurer and, later, vice president. In 1963, as a part of the celebration of the emancipation centennial, Afro-Am published Great Negroes Past and Present, which Winslow illustrated. The book was an immediate success and became the pioneer supplementary text for Black Studies programs. By 1972, the book was in its third edition and adopted by the Californian Board of Education for use in California Social Studies classes. In 1978, Winslow received a nomination to serve as president for Afro-Am Publishing.
In 1978, as company president, Winslow changed Afro-Am’s marketing strategy from direct selling to a mail-order operation utilizing a catalog of hundreds of Black interest educational materials. He directed his catalog sales to educators, schools, and libraries. Winslow wrote Afro-Americans '76: Black Americans in the Founding of Our Nation and contributed to several works about African-American history while serving as Afro-Am’s president. He sold the publishing company in 1993 and died in 2001.
SCOPE AND CONTENT
The Eugene Winslow Papers include materials related to Winslow’s work as a journalist, publisher and public figure. It spans the years 1851-1994 and is organized into six series, “Biographical,” “Freelance Advertisement and Art,” “Afro-Am Publishing Company Records,” “Afro-Am Publishing Research Files,” “Serials,” and “Photographs.” The bulk of the collection consists of newspaper and journal clippings, photographs, correspondence, art clippings, and business reports.
Series 1. Biographical, 1966-1994
This series includes correspondence, essays, published and personal notes, as well as a speech and a recorded interview of Winslow. Arrangement follows Winslow’s original filing order.
Series 2. Freelance Advertisement and Art, 1961-1978
This series consists of artwork collected by Winslow as well as Winslow’s original designs for the book Cradle of Steel Unionism. The contents are organized alphabetically by title.
Series 3. Afro-Am Publishing Company Records, 1915-1993
Winslow contributed to the formation of the Afro-Am Publishing Company in 1963. The mission of Afro-Am was to create relevant educational materials that highlighted the contributions and history of African Americans. This series documents the activity of the Afro-Am Publishing Company and includes reports, meeting minutes and legal business documentation, educational materials, and a filmstrip published by Afro-Am.
Series 4. Afro-Am Publishing Company Research Files, 1862-1994
This series includes Eugene Winslow’s research files, created during his tenure with the Afro-Am Publishing Company, which largely consisted of documentation and research for Afro-Am’s Great Negroes Past and Present. The bulk of the materials are newspaper and periodical clippings, and many files include Winslow’s original sketches, excerpts from books, and original and reprinted cartoons. Nearly all of the documents are secondary source materials. The series is broken into two subseries, “Biographical Research Files” and “Subject Research Files.” These files maintain Winslow’s original filing system and subject categories assigned by Winslow.
Subseries 1. Biographical Research Files, 1862-1993
This subseries consists of files containing research pertaining to biographical information about African American figures throughout history. The bulk of the materials in the subseries are newspaper and periodical clippings, and many of the files also contain Eugene Winslow’s original sketches and drafts of biographical summaries, both of which ultimately appeared in Great Negroes Past and Present. Biographical files are arranged alphabetically by last name.
Subseries 2. Subject Research Files, 1882-1994
This subseries is comprised of Eugene Winslow’s research for the Afro-Am Publishing Company that pertains to specific topics related to African American history. The bulk of the material in this subseries was compiled to be included in Great Negroes Past and Present, and consists largely of newspaper and periodical clippings. Winslow’s organization and original subject titles are maintained; file groups are arranged by subject.
Arrangement Note: Winslow had a particular filing system. The files found here are not arranged alphabetically but according to subject groupings created by Winslow. In some cases, there is a rudimentary alpha arrangement, which breaks down so that he could include a file on a related subject and keep the material together. This order is maintained in order to preserve his thought process and technique when he conducted research and compiled the files. Take care when skimming the files; the subject being searched may be located in more than one place. Also, the original folder titles created by Winslow have been maintained.
Series 5. Serials, 1923-1993
This series includes magazines and books collected by Eugene Winslow; it is arranged alphabetically by title.
Series 6. Photographs, 1851-1992
“Photographs” has been separated into two subseries, “Personal Photographs” and “Research File Photographs.” It includes photographs of Winslow, his family, and friends. The majority of the photographs in this series were separated from Winslow’s research files for Great Negroes Past and Present.
Subseries 1. Personal Photographs, 1943-1965
This series features personal photographs of Eugene Winslow, his family, and his friends. It is arranged in the order it was found.
Subseries 2. Research File Photographs, circa 1810-1992
This subseries includes Eugene Winslow’s research photographs for people in his Great Negroes Past and Present. The photographs are organized alphabetically. The original photograph titles created by Winslow have been maintained. The photographs include portraits or drawings of individuals or items that may represent them. Both photographs (including copy prints of original photographs) and photo negatives are found in this subseries.
