The papers of Theodore Pierce, a member
of one of the first African-American families in Madison, Wisconsin, concerning his friend,
Willard Motley, a prominent African-American writer of Chicago. The collection includes
mostly incoming correspondence to Pierce from Motley, dating from 1938 to 1963. The bulk of
the materials are from 1946-1950. The collection also contains a small collection of
Motley's writings, including two manuscripts written by Motley--"Lucy: A One Act Play" and
the first two chapters of the book, "Of Night, Perchance of Death" (published as "We Fished
All Night")--and four published articles, "Calle Olvera," "Education of a Writer," "Give the
Gentleman What he Wants," and "Small-Town Los Angeles."
