Biographical/Historical note:
The Evans-Tibbs collection form part of the family papers acquired from the Evans-Tibbs Collection museum, which closed in 1996, and centers around the life of Lillian Evans Tibbs. The museum was formerly the home of Evans, the first African American woman to sing opera with an organized European company. She was born in Washington, DC to a cultured, well-educated, middle-class family. Her mother was Annie Lillian Evans, a music teacher in the DC public school system, and her father was Wilson Bruce Evans, organizer and first principal of Armstrong Technical High School in Washington, DC. Hiram Revels, the first black U.S. senator, was her great-uncle and two other family members are credited with taking part in John Borwn's raid on Harper's Ferry. She married Howard University music professor, Roy W. Tibbs in 1918. Her stage name, Madame Evanti, is a combination of her last name and her husband's. Evans had one child, Thurlow Tibbs Sr., and two grandchildren, Diane Elizabeth and Thurlow Evans Tibbs. Thurlow Jr., operated the Evans-Tibbs Collection museum until 1996, a year before his death.

Joseph H. Douglass (1871-1935), grandson of great abolitionist Frederick Douglass, was billed the most talented violinist of the race.

During the next 40 years he played recitals throughout the United States, even playing with individuals such as Paul Lawrence Dunbar. Unfortunately, his gift was only recorded on 2 titles and never issued and it was known that he never recorded again.

Biographical:
William, but best known as Lloyd Garrison (1805-1879), started his career and service as a fourteen year old boy, selling homemade molasses and wood to support his family. Garrison later began working as an apprentice compositor for a local paper and acquired the skills that would later allow him to write and publish articles nationally. In 1828, Garrison edited for the National Philanthropist, joined the Abolitionist movement, and by 1830 he completely rejected colonization. Garrison later began writing and reporting in his column the incidents of kidnapping, whippings, and even murders, which later placed him in jail. Garrison, on his own, started the anti-slavery newspaper, The Liberator and co-founded the American Anti-Slavery Society, and began public speaking where he burned a copy of the Constitution on July 4 condemning slavery. After the abolition of slavery, Garrison continued activism and retired from writing publicly, but continued to write to his children until his final days.
