A folded African-American Heritage Association (AAHA) fundraising brochure documents a 1976 campaign to establish an African-American room — claimed as the thirteenth — in Wayne State University’s Ethnic Heritage Center, Manoogian Hall.
- AAHA says it organized Jan 1976, reserved the room in March with a $5,000 deposit from fifty $100 founding sponsors, and sought another $200,000 to design/complete it.
- WSU would provide space + maintenance when complete; no design funding from university — community fundraising required.
- Founding committee chair Esther G. Edwards; photo caption names Arthur Johnson, Mrs. Robert L. Moseley, Edwards, Benson Manlove meeting WSU president George E. Gullen Jr.
- Founding Sponsors roster dated June 30, 1976 includes Detroit Mayor Coleman A. Young. Rosa Parks is not named on visible committee/sponsor lists.
- Donation coupon blank on this copy.
Brochure = campaign’s own account of reservation and fundraising need — not bank statement, WSU receipt, completion proof, or Parks role. Custody in Parks Papers ≠ founding/donation/attendance/endorsement.
