Dates
- Creation: 1998-2001
Language of Materials
Papers are predominantly in English. Some papers are in Spanish.
The papers include various examples of outdated language, as the collection materials were created over the course of many decades, during which preferred language and terminology changed. Pierce generally used the term 'minority' to refer to people of non-white backgrounds, focusing on but not exclusive to Black individuals. He also frequently used the terms “negro” and “African American” in reference to Black individuals and communities. These terms appear frequently throughout the collection.
