Myers (1859-1930) was the owner of the Hollenden Barber Shop, which became his steppingstone into Republican politics in the 1890s, Myers became an influential African American politician and civic leader in Cleveland, Ohio, and a close ally to Marcus Hanna. Myers was a delegate to the Republican National Convention in 1892, 1896, and 1900 and was instrumental in the development of the McKinley-Hanna organization and in the election of Hanna to the United States Senate. During the 1920s, Myers adopted a new tone of militancy in racial matters. The collection consists of correspondence between Myers and James Ford Rhodes, businessman and historian. Contains comments and opinions on contemporary political issues and notable public figures (Theodore Roosevelt, Marcus A. Hanna, William Howard Taft, and Woodrow Wilson). | | | | Call #: | MS 1199 | | | | Extent: | 0.20 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Myers, George A., 1859-1930. | Hanna, Marcus Alonzo, 1837-1904. | Roosevelt, Theodore, 1858-1919. | Taft, William H.
