Kenneth Spencer Research Library Archival Collections

The Benjamin LeRoy “Roy” Love collection includes videos of storyteller, songwriter, and farmer Roy Love of Kickapoo, Kansas, who lived to be 104. Stories include old farming practices, his segregated schooling, and his father’s enslavement by his own white father. The papers in the collection are memories of neighbors and photocopies of historical documents gathered by the grandson of a neighbor, Michael-Lee O’Brien Brockhouse, as well as a song and some letters written by Roy Love.
