- catalog description "At forty-one, Kennedy married Charles Dye, a science-fiction writer ten years her junior. The couple lived an impoverished and tumultuous existence. When Wilkes left the legal partnership, absconding with most of the firm's assets and leaving Kennedy over $50,000 in debt, Dye answered phone calls and provided administrative and emotional support. After a couple of years, the marriage began to disintegrate, then ended completely when Dye passed away from cirrhosis of the liver (1960).".

- catalog description "Florynce Kennedy Papers. Schlesinger Library, Radcliffe Institute, Harvard University.".
- catalog description "Florynce Rae ("Flo") Kennedy, an African American lawyer, feminist, activist, and civil rights advocate, was born on February 11, 1916, in Kansas City, Missouri, the second of five daughters of Wiley and Zella Kennedy. In adolescence, she changed the spelling of her name from Florence to Florynce, a practice she retained throughout her life. After graduating from Lincoln High School in Kansas City (1932), she held various jobs, including singing on a radio show, running K's (for Kennedy's) Hat Shoppe with her sisters, and operating an elevator at a department store. After her mother died of cancer, she moved to New York City to live with her sister Grayce Bayles and her husband Vincent Bayles (1942). She began undergraduate work in pre-law at Columbia University in 1944. During her senior year she applied to and was rejected from Columbia Law School. She confronted the institution, challenging that her rejection occurred because of racial and gender discrimination. Once Kennedy hinted that she would pursue legal action, Columbia Law School reversed its decision and she was admitted in 1948, the same year she earned her B.A. According to her recollection, she was one of eight women and the only black woman in her graduating class. After graduating from Columbia Law in 1951, she worked as a clerk for a small New York City firm and the following year, she passed the New York state bar examination and established a practice with with colleague Don Wilkes.".
- catalog description "Kennedy represented the estates of jazz legends Billie Holiday and Charlie Parker and became involved in the defense of various high-profile criminal cases including Black Panthers H. Rap Brown and Assata Shakur, as well as Valerie Solanas (the woman who shot Andy Warhol), before eventually becoming a professional activist and lecturer. Dubbed by the 1970s popular press as "radicalism's rudest mouth," she cultivated a reputation for her distinct personal style and colorful language as a social critic. Her more outspoken actions include protesting the Miss America Pageant, organizing a “pee-in” in Harvard Yard, co-founding the Feminist Party, which nominated Shirley Chisholm for president, and initiating a law suit against the Catholic Church, protesting that its strong anti-abortion stance violated the principles governing tax-exempt organizations. Kennedy's career as a public lecturer slowed in the 1980s; she spent the bulk of that decade and the early 1990s in New York City where she hosted the Flo Kennedy Show, a thirty-minute talk show that aired regularly on Manhattan Cable Television. Although her chronic health complications increased, she used the show to highlight the causes of individuals facing discrimination. The City University of New York awarded her the Century Award in 1999. She died in New York City at the age of eighty-four, on December 21, 2000, due to long-standing health problems.".
