Archivist Note
These records were stored within the Personalities F Collection,
and since this is a community archives, it will be an ongoing
collection. This collection contains photographs, resumes,
profiles, and majority newspaper articles. Upon reviewing the
Personalities F Collection, I made the decision to separate Fair’s
information because of the large amount of information that I
found. The T. Willard Fair Collection can be crossed referenced
with other material in the archives collection. Examples of other
collections include Civil Rights, Local Government, Model Cities,
& Overtown Transformation, and the Urban League of Miami.
