Schlafly Cultural Desegregation Oral History Project.
Transcripts, 1994. 2 boxes
In 1981, Daniel and Adelaide Schlafly provided funding to eleven major St. Louis cultural
institutions and requested proposals for creating educational programs for black and white
children. In the 1990s, Dan Schlafly posed a question about the consequences of these
experimental programs aimed at reducing racial isolation. The objective of this oral history
project was to determine the consequences of the programs.
The collection contains both verbatim and edited transcripts of interviews conducted in 1994
regarding 1980s desegregation programs in St. Louis cultural and educational institutions. Some
of these culturally based desegregation programs included the Missouri Botanical Garden's "Eco
Act" program, the Missouri Historical Society's "Where Rivers Meet" program, and the Vaughn
Cultural Center's "Eyes on the Prize" program. Interviews were conducted with former students
and teachers in the programs, and with directors and staff at the various cultural institutions. The
collection also includes two copies of the project report.
Finding aid available.
