Clayton’s collection included documents, films, recordings and memorabilia as well as rare books, and became the core holdings of the Western States Black Research and Education Center. After she died, the collection was moved to the Mayme A. Clayton Library and Museum, managed by her son, Avery. /5

The 1916 rom-com THE SOCIAL SECRETARY puts forth the idea that men have ruined the workplace with their constant sexual harassment of women just trying to do their jobs

The Social Secretary (1916) A Silent Film Review
Mayme (Norma Talmadge) can’t keep a job. She’s far too pretty, you see, and the bosses won’t leave her alone. Meanwhile, the de Puyster family can’t keep a secretary. They’re far too pretty and get…

Hamline University announces new president, a native of Twin Cities
She arrives after the private university was embroiled in controversy. In 2023, an art history professor was dismissed after she showed a 14th century painting of the Prophet Muhammad to her class.

UCLA didn’t always provide the funds Clayton needed to buy the books she thought were important, so she took early retirement and began collecting her own books. Over the next 45 years, she built a collection that grew to include thousands of African American, Chicano and Native American works. /3

Clayton was an avid golfer and traveled for her sport, looking for rare finds wherever she went. She collected more than 30,000 rare and out-of-print books, including a signed copy of Phillis Wheatley’s Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral, published in 1773. /4

As a European, I just want you to know that you are one of the few voices of reason among your 535 congress, 100 senate elected people.

That's 600 idiots and mayme (?) 35 sane people.

Keep that in mind.
Doesn't exist in Europe.
We're not thát stupid (and fighting USA-imported fascism as well).

I appreciate that so many of my relatives put dates on letters and cards, but my great aunt Mayme also sometimes gave the time, in a way. 😂

(Just ran across a cache of letters & cards my mom got from around her last years of college.)

A nice thread between the two initial #SHARPIES26 talks thus far is the inability to save everything (noted by @eve.gd) and the gathering, scattering, and losses of Black books collected by Mayme Clayton (noted by Ruthie Block).

Collecting, gathering, appraising are all complicated.
