Each scrapbook ought to represent a discreet time of assembly, but documents and ephemera from different periods may have been inserted. I did not attempt to sequence the pages in any order in any particular scrapbook. More than not, the pages were arranged so as to have graphic appeal.

The collected material follows Harrison Patillo Griffith and his antecedents and descendents including: Ezekial, Benjamin, and Stephen Griffith; Harrison Patillo Griffith; Stepeh Harrison, Thomas Twitty, Walter Pat Griffith; Stepehn and L. David Griffith; Lindsey and Jonathan David Griffith; Rev. Henry Patillo; Major Richard Harrison; House and Westmoreland family histories; Twitty family history; Lanford, Posey, Woodruff, and other associated families including the Pridmore family, Byars family. For this portion of the collection, Lawrence Griffith offers the following introduction: ","\"My success in life was almost preordained, that I had an assured future based on my family's race, relative wealth, and culturally, a champion of education.  In essence, White Privilege. It's time for that part of the South that is loving, forgiving, thoughtful, kind, and beneficent to pull rank morally. I choose to think of the South as that of Harper Lee, Tennessee Williams, Maya Angelou, William Faulkner, William Styron, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., Ann Richards, Jimmy Carter, William Percy, Robert Penn Warren, Flannery O'Connor, Alice Walker, and other titans of intellect and wisdom.  Jazz, the Blues, Soul, and Gospel gave depth to the American soul.\" ","\"Rev. Robert E. Lee, IV, a collateral descendant of the general, has disavowed that part of his past that held chattel slavery as moral. That my own family were slave owners is a matter of public record. An 1830 South Carolina census shows a head of household as Benjamin Griffith, and his wife Amelia Westmoreland Griffith, numerous children and 14 slaves, including 5 children under the age of 10.  Not huge landowners but their lives and livelihood were enhanced through chattel slavery. Because of the wealth, generated through slave ownership, their grandchild, a Captain in the C.S.A. (wounded at Gettysburg), attended Furman College. His son, my great grandfather, graduated from medical school in Baltimore and became an ophthalmologist, his fortune unimpeded by penury. His son, my grandfather, graduated from Wofford College, because there was ready cash; my father matriculated at Georgia Tech and finished at Columbia University after the War. I attended The College of William and Mary because good education was non-negotiable, and there was ready cash. It's called white privilege and it's generational.  here was no question that I would not go to college. It had always been that way. My family valued education, the investigation of things outside of one's immediate purview, when one's world view is expanded and you come to regard other peoples as sharing the very traits you call your own. I simply will not apologize for education.\" ","\"My family were also of among the most exalted, at the apex of, the Southern social pyramid, and among the fiercest defenders of Dixie.  But like the Rev. Robert E. Lee IV my father was able to separate himself from the worst atrocities of the South, while never straying far from its very special culture. And like the present Robert E. Lee, my father had no patience with apologists. We talked once about the Civil War and he said it's history and settled. A naive, but good man. In all these cases, of persons pursuing higher education, ready money, was the key to educational advancement, and thus social advancement.  You were more likely to do more in life if ready cash were available.  That's not typically an African-American fate. How do we move forward?  First, apologize. I can apologize about my family's past, but I feel no guilt. I am not responsible for another's actions over which I had no input. But I undoubtedly profited from it, intellectually and culturally. And I can be a witness to white privilege and be vocal about my good fortune.\" ","This accession consists of material related to Larry Griffith's experience providing HIV/AIDS awareness education to middle-school, high school and college-age students in the Williamsburg area. Materials include transcripts of his remarks, student feedback, articles about side-effects of HIV medication, interview questions for one of Larry's doctors, and correspondence. Larry provided a statement and inventory describing the materials, ","\"An Proposed Addendum to the Griffith Papers Reflecting Mr. Griffith's efforts at HIV/AIDS awareness and Safe-sex Advocacy\" An excerpt of this statement reads: ","\"It is not only for vain  glory that I've left these HIV Awareness/Safe-sex materials to Swem. For me, they represent a variety of purposes. Firstly, it might help future students to become aware of the great anguish that befell all those in the AIDS community, not only those with AIDS, but their family, their loved one, their healthcare workers, and their advocates. Secondly, these materials represent fact-based data that forms the basis for effective safe-sex and AIDS awareness education.","From modes of transmission to modes of safer-sex , to data on the life cycle of HIV, all data presented is correct, in accordance with CDC guidelines, and is as relevant today as they were at the time, ca. early 1990's. Thirdly, I hope these materials might serve as historical, raw data for a studies in public policy, or for a local/WM-alum history of HIV awareness education, a source of data, in essence.\"","A signed copy of Griffith's book Flowers and Herbs of Early America (Photography by Barbara Temple Lombardi, Yale University Press, 2008) was received from the author on December 2, 2008 and has been added to the Archives Book Collection in the Special Collections Research Center.","Before publishing quotations or excerpts from any materials, permission must be obtained from the Special Collections Research Center, and the holder of the copyright, if not Swem Library.

Each scrapbook ought to represent a discreet time of assembly, but documents and ephemera from different periods may have been inserted. I did not attempt to sequence the pages in any order in any particular scrapbook. More than not, the pages were arranged so as to have graphic appeal. Related text passages were separated by pages of graphics.\"","In addition to the scrapbooks about Griffith's life, there are scrapbooks containing family genealogical information compiled by Griffith. The collected material follows Harrison Patillo Griffith and his antecedents and descendents including: Ezekial, Benjamin, and Stephen Griffith; Harrison Patillo Griffith; Stepeh Harrison, Thomas Twitty, Walter Pat Griffith; Stepehn and L. David Griffith; Lindsey and Jonathan David Griffith; Rev. Henry Patillo; Major Richard Harrison; House and Westmoreland family histories; Twitty family history; Lanford, Posey, Woodruff, and other associated families including the Pridmore family, Byars family. For this portion of the collection, Lawrence Griffith offers the following introduction: ","\"My success in life was almost preordained, that I had an assured future based on my family's race, relative wealth, and culturally, a champion of education.  In essence, White Privilege. It's time for that part of the South that is loving, forgiving, thoughtful, kind, and beneficent to pull rank morally. I choose to think of the South as that of Harper Lee, Tennessee Williams, Maya Angelou, William Faulkner, William Styron, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., Ann Richards, Jimmy Carter, William Percy, Robert Penn Warren, Flannery O'Connor, Alice Walker, and other titans of intellect and wisdom.  Jazz, the Blues, Soul, and Gospel gave depth to the American soul.\" ","\"Rev. Robert E. Lee, IV, a collateral descendant of the general, has disavowed that part of his past that held chattel slavery as moral. That my own family were slave owners is a matter of public record. An 1830 South Carolina census shows a head of household as Benjamin Griffith, and his wife Amelia Westmoreland Griffith, numerous children and 14 slaves, including 5 children under the age of 10.  Not huge landowners but their lives and livelihood were enhanced through chattel slavery. Because of the wealth, generated through slave ownership, their grandchild, a Captain in the C.S.A. (wounded at Gettysburg), attended Furman College. His son, my great grandfather, graduated from medical school in Baltimore and became an ophthalmologist, his fortune unimpeded by penury. His son, my grandfather, graduated from Wofford College, because there was ready cash; my father matriculated at Georgia Tech and finished at Columbia University after the War. I attended The College of William and Mary because good education was non-negotiable, and there was ready cash. It's called white privilege and it's generational.  here was no question that I would not go to college. It had always been that way. My family valued education, the investigation of things outside of one's immediate purview, when one's world view is expanded and you come to regard other peoples as sharing the very traits you call your own.
