I have your letter of April 19th, asking me for a picture for your booklet of "Great Negroes." I have n't a spare copy of a good photograph, but I send you under another cover a copy of "The Clevelander", the organ of the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce, which contains an article from my pen on "The Negro in Cleveland," illustrated by a very good photograph of myself.1
I hope this will serve your purpose, and remain,
Sincerely yours, CWC:ES2Correspondent: Ruth Rebecca Elizabeth McConnell Cousins (1920–1986) was a Black woman who lived and died in Greensboro, North Carolina. She graduated from Dudley High School in 1937, taught adult-education night classes, and became a schoolteacher (retiring in 1976).
