He graduated in 1913 from the University of St. Petersburg and received his M.D. from the 2nd Medical School, Petrograd in 1917. In 1926 he earned a Sc.D. at Charles University in Prague. He served as a Captain in the Russian Army Medical Corps, 1917-1918 on the southwestern front and was\ndecorated with the Order of St. Vladimir. Prior to leaving Russia, Dr. Sokoloff served as Head of the Department of Experimental Medicine at the Institute of Science, Lesgaft University. He was a Fellow at the University of Brussels, Belgium and subsequently at the Pasteur Institute in Paris.\nDr. Sokoloff was a passionate believer in democracy. Prior to the end of the Russian Monarchy, he was active in the Social-Revolutionary Party. He spent six months in solitary confinement at the age of sixteen. Later, at the time of the (Alexander) Kerensky regime, he was elected by the army on the southwestern front as a member of the All-Russian Constituent Assembly, which\nwas then dispersed by Vladimir Lenin. He was arrested by the communists and spent more than four months at the Boutykri prison before being freed at the pleading of Nicholas Morosoff, President of Lesgaft University, who had begged Lenin to \"save the life of a promising young scientist.\" In 1929, he came to the United States at the invitation of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical\nResearch. He worked at the Crocker Institute at Columbia University from 1930-1931. From 1931-1935 worked for the Department of Pathology at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, and in 1936 he returned to Columbia as a Research Fellow, where he remained until1942. He also worked at Harlem City Hospital. In 1947, he moved to Florida, where he became Director of the Cancer Research Institute at Florida Southern College in Lakeland. His move was prompted by his interest in citrus bioflavonoids (Vitamin-P). He was a pioneer in the work of bio-flavonoids and ascorbic acid in capillary fragility, radiation injury, and viral infections. He conducted a long-term study on the\neffects with aging cardiac patients and large doses of ascorbic acid on blood fat metabolism in addition to its effects on atherosclerosis and the aging process. Under a NASA grant, Dr. Sokoloff investigated high altitude malaise and related it to the concentrations of blood serotonin and serum ascorborne, as well as blood serotonin concentration both in normal and abnormal conditions such as hypercholesteremia, cancer, and various cardiac conditions.\nDr. Sokoloff's overwhelming passion was in the field of cancer research. He strongly believed that the cure for cancer would be achieved by non-toxic agents, and he continued his research until his death. He felt that there was clear evidence, as he wrote, \"that non-toxic agents do\nexist and that they may be in the field of fungi.\" While studying over 600 fungi from the Florida Everglades, he discovered two such antibiotics which were then submitted to the NCI for testing. It was found that they were completely non-toxic, even if used over a long period of\ntime, and they were shown to have strong anticancer activity. Dr. Sokoloff was a member of the American Association for Cancer Research, the American\nChemical Society, the New York Academy of Sciences, the American Society of Biological Editors, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Royal Society of Medicine, and the Royal Society of Arts and Letters. Over the course of his career, he published over eighty scientific research papers on a wide variety of subjects. In addition to Dr. Sokoloff's scientific work, he was also a noted author of over thirty books on a wide variety of subjects. He was married to Alice Hunt Sokoloff, and he had two sons and three\ngrandchildren. He died in 1979.","The materials in this collection concern the subject's professional career as a scientist from the 1920s through the 1970s.

Spencer was born in Orlando and grew up in Winter Garden, Florida. He worked at Sand Hill Nursery near Lake Avalon and the Land of Bromeliads in Gotha before finding employment with Julian Nally. After the Nally estate was sold, Spencer worked for Racine Foster at Bromel-La. He graduated from UCF in 1990 summa cum laude with a BA in Liberal Studies and then found employment with Lyman B. Smith at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. Michael Spencer named a genus of bromeliads \"Racinaea\" in honor of Racine Foster.

He now lives in Frederick, Maryland where he has served on the Historic Preservation Commission since 2004.","Materials were rehoused in pH neutral folders and cartons. Photographs, negatives and slides were enclosed in polyester sleeves. Many of the materials were well organized and the arrangement was retained. The remainder were arranged by following the original arrangement as far as possible. Notes on folders were retained in the new folder.

Loose-leaf notebooks that were badly rusted were discarded and the contents placed in folders. Items loose in the back of notebooks were foldered separately and marked accordingly.

These materials are divided into six topical series:","\nSeries I: Apopka Documents, 1892-1950, consists mostly of the personal papers of local businessmen, George Oden (1862-1939) and Michael Gladden, executor of Oden's estate. Also significant are a number of documents from Ella Wall, an Apopka resident who was the inspiration for a character in Zora Neale Hurston's Mules and Men. Mrs. Wall ran an Orange Grove, and was a close friend and confidant of Michael Gladden, Jr. until her death. Materials in this series largely consist of purchase receipts, tax forms, and other legal documents.","\nSeries II: Civil Rights-era, 1950-1997, consists of ephemera including magazines, sheet music, pamphlets, posters, and post cards. Not all the items in this series pertain directly to the Civil Rights Movement per se; rather they are grouped together because they fall within a specific date range.","\nSeries III: Dolls, circa 1930-1949, includes hand-made Caribbean island dolls, puppets and marionettes originating from the Caribbean.","\nSeries IV: Early America \u0026 Civil War-era, 1794-1892, contains the oldest materials in the collection that bookend the Civil War. Materials include magazines, newspapers, pamphlets, photographs and illustrations. Of particular interest is an original Buffalo Soldier muster roll signed by Colonel Abner Doubleday, discharge papers from 1874, and an authentic slave bill of sale.","\nSeries V: An oversized 19th century bible, 1857-1890, in a protective cloth clamshell and 11 black and white photographs that were originally stored inside the bible. The photographs vary both in subject and format, but do include several tintypes as well as portraits taken by notable African American photographer, James Presley (J.P.) Ball.","\nSeries VI: Photographs, 1860s - 1960s, includes a large collection of photographs that range from the 1860s - the 1960s. The \"assorted\" photographs in this collection are arranged chronologically, but there are several thematic sub-series as well. Those subseries include Bishop College, Civil Rights Movement, Civil Rights-era, South Dakota, and William T. Vernon photographs.","\nSeries VII: Visual Material, 1800s - 1969, consists of advertisements, postcards, product packaging, illustrations from magazines and newspapers, and other assorted \"visual\" ephemera. Much of the material in this series is considered racist or \"derogatory.\"","\nSeries VIII: Miscellaneous, 1880s - 1989, contains a small collection of materials that didn't fit into one of the other series. These materials include booklets, documents, pamphlets, and objects such as pins and medallions.","Series IX: Additional Materials, 1791 - 1990, consists of audio and visual items. In this series there are letters with envelopes and telegraphs. Letters delivered were most commonly with the family members of Blanche Kalfus and James Brasswell. There are official government documents and business documents consisting of receipts, deeds, contracts, notary public certificates, and justice of the peace certificates. This series also includes postcards, greeting, birthday and holiday cards, and invitations. There is memorabilia such as military buttons, pins, and patches, and a Civil War Veterans Metal. The photographs in this series consist of African American men, women, and children along with stereographs consisting of places and group photos.

Though work initially brought him to the city, his family also provided an incentive. His mother, Maud Fowler, was heavily involved in the development of Temple Terrace, serving as the city's mayor in 1926. Cody Fowler drafted the city's charter, served as its first attorney, and also served a term as mayor in 1928 – his only elected office. Fowler made a name for himself early in his career when he defended African American clients in Tampa's courts – something few other white lawyers were willing to do. Fowler worked in a number of law firms throughout the 1920s and '30s before joining with Morris White to form the Fowler and White firm. He rose through the ranks of leadership within local and regional bar associations, and in 1950, he was elected president of the American Bar Association – the first Tampa lawyer to attain that position. The following year, Tampa's Civitan Club named him as their Citizen of the Year, which is among the most prestigious honors awarded in Tampa. During the 1950s, Fowler was instrumental in eliminating the graft, corruption, and organized crime influence that had permeated Tampa's political system for generations. In 1959, Fowler was appointed chairman of both Florida's and Tampa's Bi-Racial Commissions. His calm approach to problems and his belief that integration was necessary for society to move forward, not to mention the potential economic benefits for the city, drove him to help solve the city's and state's race problems. His leadership, along with African American leaders, such as the Reverend A. Leon Lowry, helped guide the peaceful integration of Tampa's lunch counters in 1960. In a speech he gave to the Rotary Club of Tampa in July 1963, Fowler explained that \"economic upgrading,\" in the form of broader hiring practices among Tampa's businesses, was the core of solving local race relations issues. This cause would eventually be taken up by Tampa's Bi-Racial Committee. ","Fowler died at the age of 85, and at the time was still senior partner of the law firm he co-founded thirty-five years earlier. Newspapers across the state celebrated the life of the genteel southerner who did not hesitate to speak out against what he felt were unfair and illegal laws and traditions that plagued both the country and his adopted home.","Steven F. Lawson, former professor of History at the University of South Florida (1972-1992), compiled these materials as part of his research on the Civil Rights Movement and race relations in Tampa during the 1960s. The results of his research were published as \"From Sit-in to Race Riot: Businessmen, Blacks, and the Pursuit of Moderation in Tampa, 1960-1967,\" in  Southern Businessmen and Desegregation , 1982. ","Subsequent to their respective donations, the papers of Steven Lawson and Cody Fowler, which are closely related in subject, were merged into a single collection. Years later, rather than attempt to extricate one collection from the other, Dr. Lawson and archivist Andrew Huse agreed to change the collection's name and amend its documentation.","Selected information in Biog/Hist Note prepared by the Historical Monument Trail Selection Committee, Friends of the Riverwalk.","Progress Village records, USF Libraries - Tampa Special Collections, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL.","Many of the documents in this collection provide insight into Cody Fowler's role in Tampa's desegregation.

Spencer was born in Orlando and grew up in Winter Garden, Florida. He worked at Sand Hill Nursery near Lake Avalon and the Land of Bromeliads in Gotha before finding employment with Julian Nally. After the Nally estate was sold, Spencer worked for Racine Foster at Bromel-La. He graduated from UCF in 1990 summa cum laude with a BA in Liberal Studies and then found employment with Lyman B. Smith at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. Michael Spencer named a genus of bromeliads \"Racinaea\" in honor of Racine Foster. While engaged in his research, Spencer amassed this collection of materials concerning bromeliads and their collectors. He now lives in Frederick, Maryland where he has served on the Historic Preservation Commission since 2004.","Materials were rehoused in pH neutral folders and cartons. Photographs, negatives and slides were enclosed in polyester sleeves. Many of the materials were well organized and the arrangement was retained. The remainder were arranged by following the original arrangement as far as possible. Notes on folders were retained in the new folder. Paper clips were replaced with plastic clips or materials that belonged together were held together in a pH neutral paper sleeve. Loose-leaf notebooks that were badly rusted were discarded and the contents placed in folders. Items loose in the back of notebooks were foldered separately and marked accordingly. Notes from a film canister were written exactly as found as the label could not be removed. Albums falling apart were taken apart and foldered. Albums in reasonable condition had the photographs attached properly with corners and the pages interleaved to prevent sticking. Loose album pages in the Foster subseries on Plant Information were merely foldered as they were not in an album and were found without context.

Spencer was born in Orlando and grew up in Winter Garden, Florida. He worked at Sand Hill Nursery near Lake Avalon and the Land of Bromeliads in Gotha before finding employment with Julian Nally. After the Nally estate was sold, Spencer worked for Racine Foster at Bromel-La. He graduated from UCF in 1990 summa cum laude with a BA in Liberal Studies and then found employment with Lyman B. Smith at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. Michael Spencer named a genus of bromeliads \"Racinaea\" in honor of Racine Foster. While engaged in his research, Spencer amassed this collection of materials concerning bromeliads and their collectors. He now lives in Frederick, Maryland where he has served on the Historic Preservation Commission since 2004.","Materials were rehoused in pH neutral folders and cartons. Photographs, negatives and slides were enclosed in polyester sleeves. Many of the materials were well organized and the arrangement was retained. The remainder were arranged by following the original arrangement as far as possible. Notes on folders were retained in the new folder. Paper clips were replaced with plastic clips or materials that belonged together were held together in a pH neutral paper sleeve. Loose-leaf notebooks that were badly rusted were discarded and the contents placed in folders. Items loose in the back of notebooks were foldered separately and marked accordingly. Notes from a film canister were written exactly as found as the label could not be removed. Albums falling apart were taken apart and foldered. Albums in reasonable condition had the photographs attached properly with corners and the pages interleaved to prevent sticking. Loose album pages in the Foster subseries on Plant Information were merely foldered as they were not in an album and were found without context. Collecion rehoused and finding aid revised by Chynna Thomas in 2023.","A large book collection accompanies this collection and may be accessed by performing a series search \"Michael A.

Correspondence, publications, notebooks, drawings, research materials, memorabilia and photographs show all aspects of their work including plant collecting, landscape designing and publishing. Photographs may be black and white or color prints, negatives or slides. Additional materials about the Fosters may be found in Series II and III.","\nSeries II: Subject Files, 1880-2003 contains catalogues, journals, photographs, memorabilia and correspondence that Michael Spencer brought together under his chosen subject headings and arranged alphabetically. Many of the materials in this series originally came from Mulford and Racine Foster, which means that there is some overlap with the previous series. Spencer's own collecting interest lay in documenting the importance of bromeliads in society, and he collected many common items that showed bromeliads, especially pineapples.","\nSeries III: Author Files, 1754-1997 includes a variety of media used for research, such as articles, books, magazines, newspaper clippings, and photographs. There are a significant number of materials authored by Mulford and Racine Foster and Lyman B.

The files contain published materials, photocopies, web resources, plant and geological samples that document's Michael's Spencer's considerable research interests.","\nSeries VI: Medicinal Files, 1988-1996 contains alphabetical files on diseases and therapies. Not all these files relate to plants though many of them concern natural therapies.","\nSeries VII: Lyman Smith Files: 1905-1994 holds alphabetical files that belonged to Lyman B. Smith.
