Curricula vitae with extensive supporting documentation. The curricula vitae date from 1990, 1992, August 1998 and October 1998. The supporting documentation, often grouped first by time period, is usually annotated with a number keyed to categories used in the August and October 1998 curricula vitae. The categories include solo exhibits; group exhibits; performances; lectures; festivals/conferences/programs/panels; television and radio appearances; artist in residence; publications by Ringgold; catalogs; publications about Ringgold; films and videotapes about Ringgold; consultancies/committees/juries/curatorial; awards; commissions; and service. The documentation present in the collection consists primarily of books and book excerpts, catalogs (chiefly for exhibits, but occasionally for publishers or academic institutions), magazines and magazine articles, newsletters, calendars (annual and lists of upcoming events), institutional reports, newspaper articles, flyers, postcards, posters, press releases, event and conference programs, selected correspondence, award certificates, slide transparencies, sound recordings and videotape. There are also legal documents present, some of which represent amici curiae filings in a 1980s U.S. Supreme Court flag desecration case (Texas v. Johnson).
