Bryant, son of a physician and an African American, attended the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama between 1936 and 1939, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Education.","The scrapbook is notable as it is made from thick wooden boards, metal hinges and bound with two long screws and wingnuts. The front cover artfully has the title inlaid in wood reading \"Tuskegee Inst. 39.\"","The scrapbook, compiled during his last year at Tuskegee, includes autograph greetings from friends and faculty, event programs including programs for music, theater, and dance, photographs, newspaper clippings, and Tuskegee Institute commencement ceremony materials. After his time at Tuskegee, Bryant attended graduate school at the University of Arizona. Bryant eventually became a teacher, focusing on special education.","Notable events include a performance by famed singer Etta Moren and a March 1939 visit by President Franklin D. Roosevelt."],"corpname_ssim":["Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library"],"names_ssim":["Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library"],"language_ssim":["English"],"descrules_ssm":["Describing Archives: A Content Standard"],"total_component_count_is":0,"online_item_count_is":0,"component_level_isim":[0],"sort_isi":0,"timestamp":"2026-08-14T22:53:38.700Z"}]}},"label":"Breadcrumbs"}}},"links":{"self":"https://arvasarchive.org/catalog/viu_repositories_3_resources_1651"}}],"included":[{"type":"facet","id":"repository_ssim","attributes":{"label":"Repository","items":[{"attributes":{"label":"University of Virginia, Special Collections Dept.","value":"University of Virginia, Special Collections Dept.","hits":6},"links":{"self":"https://arvasarchive.org/catalog.json?f%5Baccess_subjects%5D%5B%5D=African+American+universities+and+colleges\u0026f%5Brepository%5D%5B%5D=University+of+Virginia%2C+Special+Collections+Dept.\u0026view=compact"}}]},"links":{"self":"https://arvasarchive.org/catalog/facet/repository_ssim.json?f%5Baccess_subjects%5D%5B%5D=African+American+universities+and+colleges\u0026view=compact"}},{"type":"facet","id":"collection_ssim","attributes":{"label":"Collection","items":[{"attributes":{"label":"Alpha Tau Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi minute books (Bluefield State University, West Virginia), 1951/1964","value":"Alpha Tau Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi minute books (Bluefield State University, West Virginia), 1951/1964","hits":1},"links":{"self":"https://arvasarchive.org/catalog.json?f%5Baccess_subjects%5D%5B%5D=African+American+universities+and+colleges\u0026f%5Bcollection%5D%5B%5D=Alpha+Tau+Chapter+of+Kappa+Alpha+Psi+minute+books+%28Bluefield+State+University%2C+West+Virginia%29%2C+1951%2F1964\u0026view=compact"}},{"attributes":{"label":"Cora M.
