Abstract: | Karamu House was founded in 1915 in Cleveland, Ohio, by Russell W. and Rowena Woodham Jelliffe, in conjunction with the Second Presbyterian Church Men's Club, as the Neighborhood Association (later as the Playhouse Settlement), a settlement house promoting interracial activities and cooperation through the performing arts. The Jelliffes saw a need to provide activities and social services for the city's growing African American population, in order to assist in their transition from rural Southern life to an urban setting. The Playhouse Settlement was renamed Karamu Theater in 1927. By 1941, the entire settlement had taken the name Karamu House. The Dumas Dramatic Club was created to support and encourage interest and activities in the performing arts. In 1922, the theater troupe's name was changed to The Gilpin Players in honor of noted African American actor Charles Gilpin. During the 1920s and 1930s, works by many accomplished playwrights were produced at Karamu, including those of Zora Neale Hurston, Eugene O'Neill, and Langston Hughes, whose career was launched at Karamu. In 1939, the house was destroyed by fire. Rebuilding was not completed until 1949. The Jelliffes' mission of an interracial institution continued until the late 1960s, when, under the leadership of new director Kenneth Snipes, Karamu's mission became one of promoting African-American theater and plays specifically about the African-American experience. During this time a professional troupe of actors was formed. In 1982, Karamu formally returned to its original mission as an interracial organization. The collection consists of articles of incorporation, building construction applications, historical accounts, minutes, records of the Board of Trustees, reports, proposals, publications, financial records, contribution records, correspondence, play scripts and related information, announcements of events, programs, memoranda, date books, guest books, newspaper clippings, subject files, ledgers, scrapbooks, and student enrollment cards. Notable correspondents include Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. DuBois, Ida B. Wells, Hubert Humphrey, Eleanor Roosevelt, A. Phillip Randolph, Coretta Scott King, Carter G. Woodson, Eliot Ness, Walter White, Marian Anderson, W.C. Handy, Zora Neale Hurston, Ethel Waters, Countee Cullen, Arna Bontemps, Harry E. Davis, Harry C. Smith, and Jane Edna Hunter. The majority of the papers date from the period after World War II, particularly the 1950s and 1960s. |

Karamu House (f. 1915), a performing arts theater and former settlement house that promotes interracial activities and cooperation, is located at the corner of East 89th Street and Quincy Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio. Karamu House represents the first serious effort at creating an interracial institution for the performing arts in the United States. It was originally known as the Playhouse Settlement and was first located at 2239 East 38th Street in an area then known as the "Roaring Third." It was founded by Russell W. Jelliffe (1891-1980) and his wife Rowena Woodham Jelliffe (1892-1992). The Jelliffes graduated from Oberlin College in 1914 and from there went to the University of Chicago where they received master's degrees in sociology in 1915, the year they married.
The idea for Karamu House grew out of Russell Jelliffe's employment with the Men's Club of the Second Presbyterian Church after the couple's move to Cleveland. Dr. Dudley P. Allen, a member of the club, came up with the original suggestion for a settlement house for the city's black community, but he died in January 1915 before the project came to fruition. Allen's concept was enthusiastically endorsed by local and national leaders including Booker T. Washington who forwarded a personal letter of encouragement. In addition, the Jelliffes saw a need to provide activities and social services for the city's growing black population to assist in their transition from rural Southern life to an urban setting. They faced pressure to create a settlement house exclusively for the black community, but their vision was of a racially integrated institution. The Jelliffes' dream prevailed. Originally called the Playhouse Settlement, the organization's theater was renamed Karamu Theater in 1927 at the suggestion of Hazel Mountain Walker, who later became principal of Cleveland's Rutherford B. Hayes Elementary School. By 1941, the entire settlement had taken the name Karamu House. The term "Karamu" is a Swahili word meaning "place of joyful meeting or gathering."
Although Karamu House provided a wide variety of activities for local residents, the performing arts became the major focus of its mission by 1920. The Dumas Dramatic Club was created to support and encourage this interest. In 1922 the theater troupe's name was changed to The Gilpin Players in honor of noted black actor Charles Gilpin. During the 1920s and 1930s works by many accomplished playwrights were produced at Karamu, including those of Zora Neale Hurston, Eugene O'Neill and Langston Hughes, the latter of whose career was launched there. In 1939 the house (which included the theater) was destroyed by fire. Because of the national emergency created by the onslaught of World War II, the rebuilding of the theater did not begin until the late 1940s, with completion occurring in 1949. The Jelliffes' mission of an interracial institution continued from this point until the late 1960s when, under the leadership of new director Kenneth Snipes (the Jelliffes had retired in 1963), the focus changed. Under growing pressure from Black Nationalist groups of the era, Karamu's mission became one of promoting black theater and plays specifically about the black experience. During this era, white participation in the theater's activities dropped off dramatically. This era did produce some critically acclaimed work and resulted in the formation of a professional troupe of actors. In 1982, however, the troupe was dissolved, and Karamu formally returned to its original mission as an interracial organization.

The Karamu House Records, 1914-1979 consist of articles of incorporation, building construction applications, historical accounts, minutes, records of the Board of Trustees, reports, proposals, publications, financial records, contribution records, correspondence, scripts of plays and related information, announcements of events, memoranda, date books, guest books, newspaper clippings, subject files, ledgers, scrap books, and student enrollment cards.
This collection pertains primarily to the development of an interracial theater and settlement house that grew out of the Great Migration of blacks in the 1910s. It sheds light on the work of several prominent playwrights including Langston Hughes who began his career at Karamu House. It also illuminates the racial tensions of the 1960s and the 1970s, exemplified by the controversy over whether Karamu's mission was to promote black theater or to continue its vision of interracial cooperation. In addition, it provides information on the Jelliffes' efforts to secure continued funding to keep Karamu House in operation. The historical accounts give details about the Jelliffes' personal lives as well as facts about Karamu. The files on the plays performed and the programs for them contained in the announcements of events are of interest for anyone researching dramatic art. The 1935 controversy over the play Stevedore, deemed by Harry C. Smith (editor of the Cleveland Gazette) to be racially demeaning, is thoroughly documented in the collection. Notable correspondents include Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. DuBois, Ida B. Wells, Hubert Humphrey, Eleanor Roosevelt, A. Phillip Randolph, Coretta Scott King, Carter G. Woodson, Eliot Ness, Walter White (president of the NAACP), Marian Anderson, W.C. Handy, Zora Neale Hurston, Ethel Waters, Countee Cullen (a writer of the Harlem Renaissance), Arna Bontemps (also a writer of the Harlem Renaissance), Harry E. Davis (prominent local black politician), Harry C. Smith, and Jane Edna Hunter (founder of the Phillis Wheatley Association). The majority of the papers date from the period after World War II, with the 1950s and 1960s being particularly well-represented. Though the material from the early years of Karamu's existence is sparse, such critical documents as a report of the original investigation of the Central Avenue area for the house's establishment and the articles of incorporation appear in the collection. It is possible that some of the earliest records were lost in the 1939 fire. The student enrollment cards could be used to reconstruct a demographic profile of those who attended classes at Karamu. These cards also have genealogical value since they usually give the names of students' parents.
