The Ntozake Shange Papers at Barnard College
In donating the archive, Shange stated that “I feel as though I came of age as a feminist and an artist at Barnard. I formed the basis of my critical thinking in English and history classes. I was a member of conscious-raising groups, the antiwar movement and Black-student movement. I got all that I ever imagined from an all-women’s college, and I thought my archives belonged here.”
Shange discussing her donation of her papers to Barnard.
The Ntozake Shange Papers include manuscripts and drafts of works; personal and professional correspondence; journals and agendas; clippings, programs, and ephemera; teaching documents; personal and professional photographs; awards, memorabilia, and personal effects; and texts, music, and other works by others collected by Shange.
