Photos, scrapbook pages, and correspondence of Simms Campbell

"This scrapbook full of letters and photographs that Campbell sent to friend and fellow cartoonist McGowan Miller in the 1950s reflects his life more fully. He writes of exploits with Cab Calloway, Dizzy Gillespie and others, partying late into the night while living in Switzerland for a time. Other letters reveal concerns about his daughter’s marriage to American photographer Gordon Parks, who was twice her age. Generally, these letters are full of soul and spirit, and embody the loving friendship between two men of different races, bound by comics and cartoons."—https://library.osu.edu/site/40stories/2020/01/07/e-simms-campbell/
