A scrapbook compiled by Reverend Michael E. Haynes, the former pastor of Twelfth Baptist Church and a participant in the Lower Roxbury Black History Project. Haynes attended Breezy Meadows Camp as a child and continued to work with the camp through his early 30's, first as a counselor and later as the Program Director (1951-1962). The Robert Gould Shaw House managed the summer camp in Holliston, Massachusetts for inner-city children from the Greater Boston area. The scrapbook includes photographs of the camp director and some of the African American youth Haynes worked with at the camp; some campers also signed the scrapbook and thanked Haynes for his mentorship.

Original scrapbook held by Reverend Michael E. Haynes. Digital scan captured by Lolita Parker, Jr. for inclusion in the Lower Roxbury Black History Project.
