[African Americana] Simone, Nina. Three Autograph Letters, signed
No place, no dates. Sizes vary. Three autograph letters signed by Nina Simone to Lester Hyman on various subjects. Creasing from old folds, some scattered stains.
Three wide-ranging, and at times very revealing autograph letters by iconic American pianist, singer, songwriter, and civil rights activist Nina Simone, written to her friend, supporter, and attorney, Lester S. Hyman. Hyman and Simone first encountered each other in 1968, when Hyman booked Simone to play at a Massachusetts Democratic party event. Later in the 1970s and 80s, Hyman frequently invited Simone to stay at his home in Washington, D.C., when she was passing through town.
This lot is located in Philadelphia.
