General notes
Contents of the folder on Claude McKay include: an archive of correspondence (personal and professional) about Claude McKay written by artists and authors who knew McKay during his association with the periodicals the "Masses" and the "Liberator." The letters are all addressed to Wayne Cooper, written in response to his inquiries during preparation of the Passion of Claude McKay, as well as an earlier biography Mr. Cooper wrote about Claude McKay. Also included is a copy of a typed letter (4 pgs.), written by Claude McKay to Max Eastman (he notes in ink holograph "copy" on the first page.) The letter presents McKay's political views in 1925, particularly his feelings towards Communism.
