The Dana C. Chandler Jr. papers document his work as an artist
and activist and his service on the Board of Directors of the Metropolitan
Council for Educational Opportunity. The majority of the collection
is comprised of METCO materials from Chandler's decade of service
on the METCO Board of Directors. The METCO files include reports
on education in Massachusetts, memoranda, minutes, agendas, correspondence
between Chandler or METCO staff, and officers from area school districts,
parents, and officials from local government. The files also include
proposals, reports, handbooks, press, and subject files regarding
two Boston–area school districts and the Tri Arts Project,
a program promoting the appreciation of multi–ethnic art in
public schools. The Recruitment Assistance file documents the mostly
METCO–funded hiring of new staff in schools with METCO students.
All of the materials pertaining to art created by Chandler from
1974 to 1993 in his African American Master Artists–in–Residence
Program studio can be found in the AAMARP collection. All correspondence,
teaching materials, memoranda, and administrative records generated
by Chandler during his tenure as director of AAMARP can also be
found in the AAMARP collection. |
