Louisiana State University Libraries Special Collections will house the Wyatt Houston Day Collection of Poetry by African Americans, more than 800 items from the 18th to 21st centuries that were previously owned by Day, a noted book collector and dealer. Notable materials include a first edition of Paul Laurence Dunbar’s Majors and Minors once owned by Frederick Douglass’s family, a broadside by Gwendolyn Brooks published following the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., and the typed manuscript of music cues for Langston Hughes’s poem “Ask Your Mama.”
