Biographical Notes
Frances Minor
Frances Minor was born Frances Anderson, an only child, to Francis Elmo Anderson and Sadie Hilyard on Feb. 8, 1923, at Provident Hospital in Chicago. She married Chicago Public Schools administrator Byron Minor. Ms. Minor has collected from, and provided support to, African American artists in Chicago for nearly five decades. She is a board member of the both the South Side Community Art Center and the Vivian G. Harsh Society, and has also been active with the DuSable Museum of African American History. Her role as collector and volunteer in Chicago arts and community organizations has been wide-reaching and significant.
Her mother was active with many grass-roots community organizations during the 1930s and 1940s, while her father was a Pullman porter, active with A. Phillip Randolph and the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. After Francis Anderson lost his position as a Pullman porter as a result of his union activity, Sadie Anderson secured a political job for her husband. She then went to Loyola University night school in order to become a social worker. Sadie Anderson served the Veterans Administration as a social worker until the Depression, after which she began working with the Works Progress Administration (WPA) as a supervisor for adults.
Frances Minor’s maternal grandfather, William Kidd Hilyard, lived in Philadelphia during the late 1800s. He and a group of men decided to move to Minnesota in order to “make their fortune.” The winter was so cold that they went back to Pennsylvania for warm clothing, and then went back to Minnesota. Mr. Hilyard became a merchant and a millionaire, and one of the founders of St. Phillips Episcopal Church. He was also the creator of the unique scrapbooks in the collection.
Her paternal grandfather, Moses Anderson, had three sons and was a land agent with the Northern Pacific Railroad. He would meet people in Chicago and settle them out west, from the Dakotas out to Washington. He created a town called Hilyard near Seattle. He served in the Army and is buried at Fort Snell in Minneapolis.
Because jobs were limited in Minnesota, Sadie Anderson decided to move the family to Chicago. Frances and her family lived on the south side of Chicago for the entirety of her childhood, living first at 53rd Street and Prairie. Because her father was Presbyterian, Frances was baptized in the Presbyterian faith. Later, she and her mother began attending Grace Presbyterian Church, one of the oldest African American Presbyterian churches in Chicago. When the family moved to 58th and Indiana, she began going to the St. Edmund’s Episcopal Church with her mother, where she remains a member.
Frances Minor attended Bethesda Church at 53rd and Michigan for nursery school. It was bombed by racial terrorists at the time she was attending. After nursery school, she attended Carter Elementary School. After receiving threats from two female students, Frances attended Lucy Flowers High School, in lieu of DuSable High School. She was a student at Lucy Flowers for two years, 1937-1939, but left because of extreme prejudice against African American students there. They were forced to sit in the back of the classroom and were only allowed to take certain classes. Because of this, she transferred to Englewood High School, where she remained until graduation.
As a student at Roosevelt University night school around 1946, she met Byron Minor. Don Bonaparte, a mutual friend, and Minor were students at John Marshall Law School, and Bonaparte introduced Frances to Byron. They married in 1949. Byron and Frances had three living children, Diane, Courtney, and Frank, and one who is deceased. Her daughter, Diane, is an administrator for Chicago Community Colleges, and Courtney Minor has a law degree and an MBA, and is an administrator for Housing and Urban Development.
Byron Minor and the Minor/Mollison Family
Byron Minor was a Chicago-area educator for nearly 40 years. Before World War II, he taught at DuSable High School and then moved on to Dunbar High School. Later he became the first black principal of DuSable and served as a Chicago Public Schools district superintendent.
Byron Minor is linked to the Mollisons, a historically significant family of lawyers and bankers originating in Vicksburg, Miss., through his mother, Wylie Ethel Mollison. Willis Mollison, Byron’s maternal grandfather, was a prominent lawyer in Vicksburg. When racism in Vicksburg had taken a particularly violent turn, and tarring and feathering blacks in Vicksburg became common, Willis Mollison boarded a train and came to Chicago. He later brought the rest of his family to the city.
The Mollisons opened the first African American law firm in the Chicago Loop, on Washington Street. Byron worked there along with his uncle, Irvin C. Mollison. Appointed to the United State Customs Court by President Harry S. Truman, Judge Irvin C. Mollison was the first African American appointed to the position and the first appointed to the federal judiciary as a whole.
The Minors/Mollisons are also linked to the DePriest and the McKissick families. Frances Minor’s papers include materials regarding all four families, with detailed journal articles, military records, family lineage and memorabilia documenting the Mollison family’s work in Vicksburg, and with historical documentation regarding the Minors’ plantation history.
The Art Collection
Byron and Frances Minor began collecting art because Frances’ mother and father were both collectors. Francis and Sadie Anderson belonged to a group of friends who traveled and attended social events together, had dinner parties, and belonged to the same clubs. Artist William Edouard Scott was a part of this group. Known to Frances as “Uncle Billy,” Scott often came to the Anderson house to wash his paintings. After the death of her parents, Frances inherited their art collection and continued adding to it while working with the South Side Community Art Center.
Byron Minor’s uncle, Irvin Mollison, also collected art, and his collection included paintings by Archibald Motley, who was a friend of Irvin’s. After his death, Irvin Mollison’s art collection was donated to Spelman College in Atlanta, which, in turn, sent a few of the paintings back to Byron and Frances.
In 1941, Frances’ mother went to the South Side Community Art Center (SSCAC) to watch Eleanor Roosevelt dedicate the building. Later, when Frances married, she learned that Byron was a member of the SSCAC’s Camera Club and that Gordon Parks was his instructor. Novelist Frank London Brown was also in the photography club at that time.
In the 1950s, Frances officially joined the SSCAC, having been urged to do so by artists Ramon Price, Earnest Alexander, and family friend William E. Scott. At the time Frances joined the SSCAC, it was poorly organized and lacked funding. She worked with Grace Lemmie, Fern Gayden and others to keep it going. They paid for postage and organized events. As her work there continued, she began to buy art from new artists who would later become well known.
