"Blind Tom," Toussaint Louverture, Paul Cuffe, and fugitive slaves (e.g., Henry "Box" Brown, William and Ellen Craft, Venture Smith and others). Other topics of her research were the nineteenth century Irish actor, Tyrone Power, and Victoria Woodhull, the nineteenth century women's rights advocate. Musical scores composed by Blind Tom can be found in the collection. Stock also prepared draft manuscripts for baby books aimed at African American, Asian Indian and general audiences.
