| | Photograph Collection | Save | | 1 | Title: | Lolette and George Hanserd Photographs
| | | | Creator: | Hanserd, Lolette and George | | | | Dates: | 1910-1980 | | | | Abstract: | George and Lolette Hanserd were well known in Cleveland, Ohio's African American community for their professional contributions, respectively, in podiatry and social work. In 1952 Lolette began working for the Welfare Federation of Cleveland as a member of the Group Services Council. In 1965 she was named director of a four-year project to improve interracial and intercultural relations for the Federation, after which she became director of the Human Relations Department. In 1971 her position was expanded to include associate director of the Federation of Community Planning, the new name adopted by the Welfare Federation that same year. One year later she became the first African American to be named social worker of the year by the Cleveland Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers. Lolette retired from the Federation in 1984. The collection consists of individual portraits of George Hanserd and his wife Lolette Hanserd and group portraits including them and others such as Jesse Owens, at athletic events, classmates of the Ohio College of Chiropody, and at a dinner of the Cleveland Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers. | | | | Call #: | PG 369 | | | | Extent: | 0.20 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Hanserd, George, 1910-1984 -- Photograph collections. | Hanserd, Lolette -- Photograph collections. | Owens, Jesse, 1913- -- Photograph collections. | African Americans -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | African American women social workers -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | African American physicians -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Social workers -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Women social workers -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Podiatrists -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Physicians -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs.

| Photograph Collection | Save | | 2 | Title: | Russell and Rowena Jelliffe Photographs
| | | | Creator: | Jelliffe, Russell and Rowena | | | | Dates: | 1920-1990 | | | | Abstract: | Russell W. (1891-1980) and Rowena Woodham Jelliffe (1892-1992) were social workers who in conjunction with the Second Presbyterian Church Men's Club of Cleveland, Ohio, founded the Neighborhood Association, popularly known as the Playhouse Settlement, in 1915. Founded primarily to aid African Americans who had migrated to Cleveland from the rural South, Playhouse Settlement offered the usual social services, but gained note for its dramatic and artistic programs. In 1927 the Jelliffes acquired property which was remodeled as a theater and named the Karamu Theater. In 1941, the Settlement was renamed Karamu House. The Jelliffes shared the directorship of Karamu House until their retirement in 1963, after which they served as trustees of the Karamu Foundation. Russell Jelliffe was also an active member of the Urban League, the Cleveland Community Relations Council on Race Relations, the executive committee of the local branch of the NAACP, and the Board of the Cleveland Council of Human Relations. He was involved with the Group Work Council of the Welfare Federation and was a trustee of Oberlin College and the Cleveland Civil Liberties Union. Rowena Jelliffe was involved in the NAACP, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, the Urban League, the National Theatre Conference, the Board of Trustees of the Cleveland Guidance Center, and the Board of Directors of the American National Theatre and Academy. Both the Jelliffes received numerous honors and awards. The collection consists of individual portraits of Russell and Rowena Jelliffe; individual portraits of those associated with Karamu House, including teachers, instructors, and performers; group portraits that include the Jelliffes and others, including Zelma George, W. C. Handy, Langston Hughes, and Michael White; and views of play productions, instructional classes, and interior and exterior scenes at Karamu House. Also included in the collection are group portraits of the Gilpin Players and Karamu actors in performance. | | | | Call #: | PG 484 | | | | Extent: | 1.00 linear feet (3 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Jelliffe, Russell W., 1891-1980 -- Photograph collections. | Jelliffe, Rowena Woodham, 1892-1992 -- Photograph collections. | Hughes, Langston, 1902-1967 -- Photograph collections. | George, Zelma, 1903- -- Photograph collections. | Handy, W.
