| | Abstract: | Dr. Melvin Drimmer (1935-1992) was a professor of Black and African History at Cleveland State University (CSU) from 1972-1992. Drimmer was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of City College of New York and earned his doctorate in history from the University of Rochester. As a history professor at CSU, Drimmer assigned all of his students a family history paper, which was intended to provide not only a family tree, but also a socio-economic history of each family. The collection consists of correspondence, syllabi, classroom materials, and student-written essays. | |
