Description
Series consists of records organized into groupings by the last custodian (Bourgois), but do not appear to belong to any one thematic grouping. Material in the first half of the series appear to have been submitted for consideration to be published as part of Bourgois’ 2003 article “One Hundred Years of United Fruit Company Letters.” As such, individual records within this series serve as especially important representative samples of all the themes found in the other series. Of particular significance are letters and photographs identifying and targeting specific labor agitators; and internal correspondence discussing Marcus Garvey and Henrietta Vinton Davis, the first female president of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Records include correspondence, two photographs, and a report produced by the Inter-American Regional Organization of Workers (ORIT).
