The collection contains charred papers salvaged from Juanita Morris’s Fashion R Boutique building located at 9844 West Florissant Road by staff members of the Missouri Historical Society in January 2015. The papers represent the broad effect of the upheaval surrounding the 2014 shooting death of Michael Brown, Jr. and the subsequent civil unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, and nearby municipalities. Due to the fragility of the items, they are housed in special boxes which allow viewing but reduce movement. Among the charred remains are fused boutique business cards, a business envelope, and a room diagram, presumably for an event. The front page (color) of a program for the 10th Annual Mother’s Day Dinner and Fashion Show displays the motto “Fashion Doesn’t Make You But It Does Make a Difference.” There is a photo of Juanita Morris in the bottom right corner of the program cover. There are also several pages from an alterations accounts ledger bearing the following information: item/tag number, seamstress name, customer name, amount charged, and amount paid.
