Scope and Contents

An excerpt from the newspaper clipping reads as follows:

In a fresh new approach to fashion shows, the Hallie Q. Brown-Model Cities Senior Citizen Group produced a unique program at the Martin Luther King Center, last Friday, that brought out 175 senior citizens. Showtime at 11:30 am featured clothing and entertainment beginning with the 70's and going back to the 1800's. The program, a first of it's kind for the Hallie Q. Brown Center, was the brain-child of staffer, Donald LeBlanc. Called, "Retrospect 70's," it was coordinated by Maridee Galloway of the Senior Citizens staff with Hallie's program director, Janeablle Taylor as the commentator. The Adult Basic and Continuing Education Class and the Hallie Q. Brown Cultural Arts Department cooperated to make the affair the big success that it was. A number of the style show models wore fashions they had owned for many years.
