The Dorothy Burlage Collection, which dates from 1966-1971 and measure .42 linear feet, documents the activism and activities of Southeast Neighborhood House in the Anacostia area of Washington, DC. Burlage worked for the organization during the 1960s. The collection includes newspaper clippings, newsletters, correspondence and writings focusing on community organizing, public housing, and social change. Also present are issues of Southeast News, a Southeast Neighborhood House publication.
Biographical:
Dorothy Dawson Burlage was born on September 13, 1937, in San Antonio, TX,
to Joseph Dawson and Virginia Hendrix Dawson. Burlage attended Mary Baldwin
University for one year before transferring to the University of Texas at Austin, where
she became involved in campus political movements, such as National Student
Association (NSA) and the YWCA Christian Faith and Life Community. Burlage
graduated in 1959 and moved to Illinois to become the program director of the YMCA at
the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana. During her time with the YMCA, she
collaborated with members of NSA and the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) to
organize various demonstrations, rallies, and protests focused on racial equality.
Burlage also became an official member of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS)
and began working with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). While
working for the YMCA, Burlage met several prominent Civil Rights activists and
workers, including Tom (1939-2016) and Casey Hayden (1937-2023), Alan Haber
(1936- ), and Ella Baker (1903-1986).
Burlage attended the Harvard Divinity School for a year and a half, before
moving to Atlanta, Georgia in the winter of 1961-1962 to pursue work with the NSA's
Southern Students Human Relations Project. Burlage was tasked with developing
educational plans for White and Black students on integrated campuses and planning
voter registration programs. During this time, Burlage met more prominent figures in the
Civil Rights movement, such as Joan Browning (1943- ), Anne Braden (1924-2006),
Constance "Connie" Curry (1933-2020) and Bob Zellner (1939- ). Soon after, Burlage
moved to Raleigh, North Carolina to take a director position with the Raleigh Citizens
Associations (RCA). Burlage worked closely with students from local Black colleges to
develop voter registration strategy.
In August of 1962, Burlage moved back to Atlanta for one year before moving to
Nashville, Tennessee, in 1963 with her husband, Robb Burlage (1937- ). For the next
two years, the couple worked with SDS and Southern Student Organizing Committee
(SSOC) to help bridge gaps between the organizations' missions and goals. By mid-1965, Burlage and her husband moved to Washington D.C. where she became a community organizer in the Anacostia neighborhood, working primarily with the Southeast Neighborhood House. She joined fellow community activists, such as Etta Horn (1928-2001), Zora Martin-Felton (1930-2022), Walter Washington (1915-2003), and John Kinard (1936-1989), to organize a strong, community-based grassroots
movement in Anacostia. The group Burlage was involved in was known as the "Target
Team" and they worked with other local groups, including "Rebels with a Cause" and
"Band of Angels." In 1966, Burlage and other community members helped Marion Barry
(1936-2014) organize a citywide bus boycott to protest fare increases. The Target Team
disbanded in 1968, feeling they had succeeded in their mission to support the
movement in Anacostia. By 1970, after her divorce and the death of her friend, Ralph
Featherstone (1939-1970), Burlage left community activism to pursue graduate studies.
Burlage received her PhD in Clinical Psychology from Harvard University, where
her political involvement shifted to focus on women and family policies. In 2023, Burlage
is a child psychologist in private practice focusing on children and adolescents.

United States of America -- New Jersey -- Mercer County -- Princeton
Varying Form:
Also known as Prospect House and Woodrow Wilson House.
General:
Postcard circa 1939-1990.
Designed by John Notman around 1850 in an Italianate Victorian style, Prospect was the home of John Potter, a wealthy merchant originally from Charleston, South Carolina. At that time the property was not part of the Princeton University campus, but in 1878 it was bought by Robert L. and Alexander Stuart, who deeded it to the university. It served as the president's home until 1968, when it was converted to use as a faculty club and a glass addition was constructed. Prospect's gardens have seen many variations over the years, including design work by Beatrix Farrand around the time of the Princeton presidency of Woodrow Wilson (Farrand also served as a consulting landscape architect to the university from about 1913 to 1943). Part of Farrand's legacy was to create a design of paths and plantings in the shape of the university shield when viewed from above, which is maintained today via symmetrical boxwood hedges and arborvitae trees. Specimen trees of many varieties include an Atlas Cedar, Hawthorn, American Beech, and Tulip Poplar, as well as many varieties of conifers and evergreens, such as spruce, pine, and Canadian hemlock. Plantings are changed several times during the growing season; thousands of bulbs are a spring highlight. The images in this series are from the early 20th century, 1930 being an approximate date. Other images of Princeton University may be found in NJ110.
Persons associated with the site include Beatrix Farrand (landscape architect, ca. 1912), John Notman (architect, ca. 1850), John Potter (former owner, 1849-1878), and Robert L. and Alexander Stuart (former owners, ca. 1878).

United States of America -- New Jersey -- Monmouth County -- West Long Branch
Biographical / Historical:
It is likely that Julian Abele (1881-1950), one of the first prominent African American architects of the early twentieth century, should be credited for his design work on this project. Abele started working for Horace Trumbauer's all-white firm around 1902 after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania School of Architecture. Abele was sent by Trumbauer to study in Paris at one of the most prestigious art schools, the École, until 1906. He returned to work as the assistant to the firm's chief designer but was quickly promoted to chief designer in 1909. Between 1909 and Trumbauer's death in 1938, Abele worked on dozens, if not hundreds, of projects for the firm, predominately uncredited. Though it was custom at the time to attribute architectural designs to the head of the firm instead of the individual designers, it is notable that an early pioneering African American architect likely contributed to this project.
