Clayton collection for the first time On view in the Library West Hall Oct. 24, 2009–Feb. 8, 2010 Press Preview: Friday, Oct. 23, 2009, 10 a.m.–noon Promotional print for the film Harlem on the Prairie (1937), directed by Sam Newfield and Jed Buell, and starring Herb Jeffries. Mayme A. Clayton Library. SAN MARINO, Calif.—African American arts and culture exploded in early 20th century America, and the Harlem neighborhood of New York City was Ground Zero. Not as well known is what played out in Los Angeles at the same time—a flowering of African American arts, literature, and culture along Central Avenue. A new exhibition at The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens explores the Harlem Renaissance in Los Angeles, drawing on materials from The Huntington as well as items from the Mayme A. Clayton Library, which never before have been on public display. The exhibition, “Central Avenue and Beyond: The Central Avenue Page 2 Harlem Renaissance in Los Angeles,” is on view Oct. 29, 2009–Jan. 4, 2010, in the Library West Hall at The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens. “People tend to think the Harlem Renaissance took place in one spot,” says Sara “Sue” Hodson, curator of literary manuscripts at The Huntington and co-curator of the exhibition. “In fact, a number of urban centers were teeming with cultural activity, Los Angeles chief among them. Central Avenue was at the heart of it all, a jazz mecca, and more—much more. Classical music, ballet, theater, literature—it’s all there in a vibrant history that tells a rich tale of L.A. history.” Among the more than 75 items exhibited are original manuscripts by poet Langston Hughes; photographs from the First Negro Classic Ballet, founded in Los Angeles in 1946; and rare editions of California-based African American periodicals such as the California Eagle and Flash magazine. Also featured are movie posters for black Hollywood films such as The Bronze Venus, starring Lena Horne; photos of jazz clubs from the period; and correspondence from W. E. B. DuBois and L.A. composer William Grant Still, among others. The exhibition includes groups of items on writer, journalist, and civil rights attorney Loren Miller and his wife, Juanita, a founder of the League of Allied Arts, and on entertainer and aviator Marie Dickerson Coker, who was one of the first African American women to gain a pilot’s license. “African Americans in Los Angeles were making unprecedented strides across a number of fields during this period—in literature and music, art and aviation,” said Hodson. “And, locally, Central Avenue is the place most closely associated with this movement.” The exhibition highlights the extensive collection of the Mayme A. Clayton Library, located in Culver City, Calif., but not yet open to the public, and contains what is considered among the world’s largest independently held collections of rare African American books, manuscripts, posters, photographs, films, and other materials documenting the African American experience. It was assembled by the late Mayme A. Clayton, longtime librarian at USC and UCLA. Before Clayton died in 2006, her son Avery began organizing the collection for scholarly use and display. Avery Clayton co-curates the exhibition. “My mother had a voracious appetite when it came to collecting African American materials,” he said. “And it has paid off. We can present an exhibition on a topic such as this because we have a treasure trove of material to choose from.” Central Avenue Page 3 “And a story to tell,” added Hodson. “Los Angeles was quite a hot spot. The Lincoln Theatre was the leading west coast venue for African American performing arts. The clubs along Central Avenue hopped all night long with the music of Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker. And ‘everybody’ stayed at the Dunbar Hotel, including Billie Holliday and Langston Hughes.” Central Avenue occupies a north-south artery that stretches from the Los Angeles Civic Center through Watts and Compton to the area in Carson now occupied by California State University, Dominguez Hills. From the 1930s through the ’40s, the area was “the hub, a focal point for black culture,” says Clayton. “And it didn’t hurt that the emerging film and recording industry provided a draw.” African Americans came west looking for a fresh start as part of the Great Migration— when, in the early 20th century, more than a million blacks left the South in search of a better life. In Los Angeles, they settled along Central Avenue, in part because it was one area of the city in which blacks were permitted to live and own businesses. “Of course, when we look back, the notion that blacks were restricted to a particular area is fundamentally offensive, and foreign to so many of us who didn’t experience it,” said Clayton. “The silver lining is this—it concentrated the intellectual and artistic juices of some of the key figures of this period. And it led to a legacy of cultural richness. Central Avenue tells a very special story.” About the Mayme A. Clayton Library Founded in Los Angeles by Mayme Agnew Clayton (1923–2006), the Mayme A. Clayton collection contains the largest independently held collection of rare and out-of-print books, documents, films, music, photographs, and memorabilia on the history and culture of Americans of African descent. It includes more than 30,000 volumes, with the earliest book published in 1773, and is rich in children’s literature and materials relating to the pre–Civil War period, sports, blacks in the American West, and black Hollywood. The film archive traces African American contributions to the motion picture industry from 1916 to the present and includes films and movie posters. The sheet music and record library as well as the photograph and memorabilia collections span the mid 19th century to the present. Efforts are currently under way to catalog the collections and make them publicly accessible with a new library and museum building. For more information, visit .claytonmuseum.org.

Blacks Helped Pioneer the West.” – Herb Jeffries Herb Jeffries, a Detroit jazz singer, was dismayed the first time he saw black audiences in the South lining up outside segregated theaters to watch all white casts in the popular cowboy films of the 1930s. He was inspired to create films that showed that black cowboys helped win the West, too. His story is one of many found in Bruce A. Glasrud and Michael N. Searles’s broad and fascinating collection of essays on African Americans’ experiences in the American West titled Black Cowboys in the American West: On the Range, On the Stage, Behind the Badge. The editors organize thirteen brief scholarly articles into three categories: “Cowboys on the Range,” “Performing Cowboys,” and “Outriders of the Black Cowboys.” Glasrud introduces the essays; Searles provides a “concluding overview” of many of the issues raised in the essays at the end.

  • The Dunbar Hotel and the Golden Age of L.A.’S ‘Little Harlem’
    SOURCE C Meares, Hadley (2015). When Central Avenue Swung: The Dunbar Hotel and the Golden Age of L.A.’s ‘Little Harlem’. Dr. John Somerville was raised in Jamaica. DEFINITIONS When he arrived in California in 1902, he was internal: people, actions, and shocked by the lack of accommodations for institutions from or established by people of color on the West Coast. Black community members travelers usually stayed with friends or relatives. Regardless of income, unlucky travelers usually external: people, actions, and had to room in "colored boarding houses" that institutions not from or established by were often dirty and unsafe. "In those places, community members we didn't compare niceness. We compared badness," Somerville's colleague, Dr. H. Claude Hudson remembered. "The bedbugs ate you up." Undeterred by the segregation and racism that surrounded him, Somerville was the first black man to graduate from the USC dental school. In 1912, he married Vada Watson, the first black woman to graduate from USC's dental school. By 1928, the Somervilles were a power couple — successful dentists, developers, tireless advocates for black Angelenos, and the founders of the L.A. chapter of the NAACP. As the Great Migration brought more black people to L.A., the city cordoned them off into the neighborhood surrounding Central Avenue. Despite boasting a large population of middle and upper class black families, there were still no first class hotels in Los Angeles that would accept blacks. In 1928, the Somervilles and other civic leaders sought to change all that. Somerville "entered a quarter million dollar indebtedness" and bought a corner lot at 42nd and Central.

CENTRAL HISTORICAL QUESTION: Considering issues of race, housing, and the struggle for civil rights in post-World War II Los Angeles, how valid is the statement from some in the African American community looking back: “We got what we wanted, but we lost what we had”? Before WWII: • 1940s and 1950s - Segregation in housing. • Shelley v. Kraemer, 1948 and Barrows vs. Jackson, 1953 – U.S. Supreme Court decisions abolish. • Map activities - Internet-based research on the geographic and demographic movements of the African American community in Los Angeles. • Locating homes of prominent African Americans. • Shift of African Americans away from central city to middle-class communities outside of the ghetto, resulting in a poorer and more segregated central city.

  • Benjamin Francis Webster “Ben” “Frog” “Brute”
    1 The TENORSAX of BENJAMIN FRANCIS WEBSTER “BEN” “FROG” “BRUTE” PART 1 (1931 – 1943) Solographer: Jan Evensmo Last update: April 13, 2018 2 Born: Kansas City, Missouri, March 27, 1909 Died: Amsterdam, Holland, Sept. 20, 1973 Introduction: Ben Webster was one of the all-time tenor saxophone greats with a long career of more than forty years. He was a favourite from the very first record with Duke Ellington from the early forties, and his music was always fascinating. I wrote his first solography in 1978 in Jazz Solography Series. Later his music appeared in the various ‘History of Jazz Tenor Saxophone’ volumes, including 1959. Later works will appear in due time on Jazz Archeology. He visited Norway several times, and I never forget when my friend Tor Haug served him fish for dinner! Early history: First studied violin, then piano. Attended Wilberforce College. Played piano in a silent-movie house in Amarillo, Texas. First professional work with Bretho Nelson's Band (out of Enid, Oklahoma), then, still on piano with Dutch Campbell's Band. Received early tuition on saxophone from Budd Johnson. Joined "family" band led by W.H. Young (Lester's father) in Campbell Kirkie, New Mexico, toured with the band for three months and began specialising on sax. With Gene Coy's Band on alto and tenor (early 1930), then on tenor with Jap Allen's Band (summer 1930). With Blanche Calloway from April 1931. Then joined Bennie Moten from Winter 1931-32 until early 1933 (including visit to New York). Then joined Willie Bryant's orchestra.
