Abstract:

In the early 1940s, the Washington tobacco market attempted to become competitive in lucrative tobacco markets. Employing ingenuity and creativity to the company's advertising scheme, the solution was to organize a traveling show. The group of men travelled to rural communities in Washington to sing and tell anecdotes, generally entertaining the crowd and promoting the product.

Abstract:

The Colored Orphanage was organized for African American children in Oxford, Granville County. In 1946, the institution was only one of two orphanages for black children, outnumbered by 25 orphanages for white children. The major difficulty faced by this orphanage was the challenge to raise funds from state appropriation and private donation.
