The work begins with a summary of the activities of the SCLC over the past year including the work of 104 people in 180 counties in ten southern states. Williams reports that "For the past twelve months the Southern Program has been involved in voter registration political education withholding patronage campaigns school integration organizing community organizations in counties where needed Get-Out-the-Vote Campaigns developing the Negro economic potential organizing farmer's cooperatives labor strikes community newspapers investment corporations tutoring classes especially for Negroes with deficiencies attending previously all-white schools organizing Negro candidates organizing and registering the farmers to fully participate in the ASCS Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service non-violent workshops business and professional clubs direct action campaigns non-violent street protests credit unions county-wide mass meetings on a regular basis youth programs mobilizing existing organizations adult education school boycotts and open housing."<br /> <br /> The next dozen pages are taken up with charts that detail which of the above activities were carried on in each of the 180 counties in the ten states from Alabama to Kentucky Virginia to Texas and more.

[African Americana]: Williams, Georgia Blakemore
Autograph Letter Signed from Georgia Blakemore Williams a Pioneering African-American Pharmacist While Still a Student at Meharry Medical School to Rev. A.T. Stewart of Tyler Texas
Nashville: February 29 1920. Very good plus. 6pp. on plain paper with original transmittal envelope. Original mailing folds light wear. A friendly and informative correspondence written by Georgia Blakemore later Georgia Blakemore Williams while studying at the famed Meharry Medical College in Nashville. Georgia Blakemore Williams was born in Tennessee in 1883. She graduated from Tuskegee Institute at the turn of the century and worked as a teacher in the East Texas Baptist Academy and in the public schools around Tyler Texas in her early career. Georgia graduated from Meharry two years after the present letter was written and opened her own pharmacy in Tyler in 1923 called the People's Pharmacy. By 1930 Georgia married a laborer named E.Z. Williams; she was noted in the 1930 census as the owner/manager of a retail drug store. Her correspondent in the present letter was Rev. A.T. Stewart a distinguished pastor educator and author in Tyler in the first half of the 20th century who was apparently a mentor to Georgia.<br /> <br /> In the present letter Georgia reports on her life at Meharry in Nashville. She details the harsh winter weather "I am 'snow bound' as Whittier wrote" her recent illness "I had a dreadful cold and cough but have rid myself of both" missing a local public lecture but avoiding disease "I'm sorry as I wanted to hear Dr. Ellington at Ryman auditorium this P.M. on his famous annual sermon 'The Prodigal Son' but the flu and pneumonia are raging and I am taking no chances" joining a church "You speak about the minister and the church I joined. It is exactly the one on Spruce & Cedar below the capital" reporting on visitors "Prof. A.M. Moore was here Xmas visiting his sons in Rodger Williams" and more. In her most interesting passage Georgia reports on her studies and the atmosphere at Meharry: "I went over the top in one exam in pharmaceutical arithmetic. Made 100% does that sound like I'm working I hope so. The passing mark is 80 and so one has to work hard to even make that as these old instructors are so hard expect so much and explain so little." She reiterates that "I don't go out so much. Have to study too hard. Went to the theater once this year to see the Smarter set. Everybody here dances. My dept. will give a big ball in March but that leaves me out. I just go to school and back home." A rare letter from an important and hard-working African-American pharmacy student in the years before she worked in this monumentally challenging field especially for a Black woman in Jim Crow Texas. <br /> <br /> Georgia's letter is accompanied by a typed letter of recommendation from Reverend Stewart dated September 28 1919. In his recommendation Stewart describes Blakemore as "a young woman of sterling worth" who has "as a student distinguished herself for her diligence accuracy integrity and conscientious discharge of every duty." Stewart closes by writing: "I hereby cordially recommend her to all good people every where and especially to those to whom she may offer her service."<br /> <br /> A unique correspondence from an educated African-American woman getting even more professional education for her pharmacy career at the outset of the Roaring Twenties.

[Alexander the Great]; Williams The Rev J
THE LIFE AND ACTIONS OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT.
London: John Murray Albemarle Street 1829. First Edition. Illustrated with a large folding map showing the campaigns of Alexander. Small 8vo handsomely bound in contemporary three-quarter calf over marbled paper covered boards the spine ruled in gilt and with a black morocco lettering label gilt. vi 402 pp. A well preserved copy handsome and in good order the binding tight and strong the text-block clean and fresh the map also in fine state. FIRST EDITION OF THIS VERY READABLE HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT. Alexander III of Macedon Ancient Greek: Aléxandros most commonly known as Alexander the Great was king of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon. He succeeded his father Philip II to the throne in 336 BC at the age of 20 and spent most of his reign conducting a lengthy military campaign throughout Asia and Egypt. By the age of 30 he had created one of the largest empires in history stretching from Greece to northwestern India. He was undefeated in battle and is widely considered to be one of history's greatest and most successful military commanders.<br> Born in Pella Macedon Alexander was tutored by philosopher and polymath Aristotle until the age of 16. In 335 BC shortly after assuming the throne of Macedon he launched a campaign in the Balkans and reasserted control over Thrace and parts of Illyria before marching on the city of Thebes which was subsequently destroyed. Alexander then assumed leadership of the League of Corinth created by his father.<br> With this authority over all Greeks he launched a pan-Hellenic invasion of the Persian Achaemenid Empire in 334 BC and with it began a series of campaigns which lasted for ten years. Following his conquest of Asia Minor and a series of decisive battles particularly at Issus and Gaugamela the power of the Achaemenid Empire was broken. He subsequently overthrew Darius III and conquered the Achaemenid Empire in its entirety. After the fall of Persia the Macedonian Empire held a vast swath of territory between the Adriatic Sea and the Indus River. Alexander endeavored to reach the "ends of the world and the Great Outer Sea" and invaded India in 326 BC achieving an important victory over Porus an ancient Indian king of present-day Punjab at the Battle of the Hydaspes. Facing mutiny from troops he was eventually forced to turn back at the Beas River and later died in 323 BC in Babylon Mesopotamia the city which he had planned to make the capital of his empire while on his return to Greece. Alexander's death put an end to his planned invasion of Arabia. John Murray, Albemarle Street hardcover

[Astronaut Signature] Mitchell, Edgar with Williams, Dwight
The Way of the Explorer: An Apollo Astronaut's Journey Through the Material and Mystical Worlds.
New York:: Putnam 1996. First Printing of the First Edition. A Fine copy in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. Inscribed by astronaut Mitchell on the half-title page. Apollo 14 astronaut Mitchell offers a vision in which technology and intuition are harmonized in pursuit of a more advanced consciousness. When Mitchell was hurtling back to earth after walking on the moon in 1971 he had a profound sense that all things are interconnected and that the universe is an intelligent process with which we need to link up. We hear how Mitchell began a career as a fighter pilot in the years following WW II switched to NASA with the hope of being part of the new space program and came to know the legendary Wernher von Braun whom he believes was a true visionary rather than a Nazi opportunist. Mitchell tells how while returning to earth he carried out a private ESP experiment that seemed to yield positive results. Subsequently he founded the Institute of Noetic Sciences in order to test paranormal phenomena scientifically. He offers us a tour of Western thought from Aristotle to Newton arguing that intuition and science were divorced until the advent of Einstein and quantum physics. We hear a lot about synchronicity left and right brain and the concept that psychic events are quantum exchanges in the brain that link us with the larger world. From "Kirkus". Putnam, unknown

[AUTOMOBILE TRAVEL -- URBAN RENEWAL & HIGHWAYS]. BALDOCK, RH & WILLIAMS, WC R H
Freeway and Expressway system: Portland Metropolitan area 1955. Technical report No. 55-5. Oregon State Highway Department. . . .
Salem OR: Traffic Engineering Division Planning Survey Section Oregon State Highway Commission June 1955. Oblong folio. 15.5 x 11 in. 151 1 pp. With maps colour maps diagrams 5 colour mylar overlays civil highway engineering elevation drawings tables charts. Original tan softcovers plastic-comb binding as issued wear bumping creasing to text block some soiling & tidemark to back cover edgewear front cover retained and affixed w/ paper tape repair still a good reference copy from the library of A. Rodney Eckerson 1930-2024 former purchasing agent for the Port of Portland. First edition of this groundbreaking highway engineering urban planning and “blight†redevelopment plan released the year before funding began flowing to underwrite 90% of the eventual 42500 mile interstate freeway “Expressway†system. Oregon leaders had contracted with New York urban planner Robert Moses†in 1943 to develop a public works program and highway building plan for the state which included a series of core recommendations reflected in this later 1955 Traffic Engineering Technical Report prepared by Baldock & Williams who pitched in the report that Portland be carved up by a series of freeways and cleared of blighted urban neighborhoods. The Banfield Freeway which later became I-84 through East Portland was completed first in 1958 and largely was built over the remnants of a vast shanty town in Sullivan Gulch but the construction of I-5 through North Portland began in earnest in 1962 directly demolishing 300 homes and bisecting the African-American Lower Albina neighborhood which at the time was the heart of the city’s only majority black neighborhood. The original colour mylar overlays depict the projected growth of the city and the increasing demand for roads as the interurban and electric railway system was either decommissioned or condemned and automobiles were the focus of transport into and around the city. Also included here is the proposed route for the Mount Hood Freeway which was to run through East Portland all the way to Mt. Hood and by 1969 had received the necessary funding but by then considerable residential backlash had built primarily due to the fact that the proposed Stadium Freeway I-405 ended up bisecting and leveling the former neighborhoods North & West of downtown Portland near Goose Hollow increasing removal of houses in North Portland along the I-5 construction was particularly bitter and the introduction of the early plans for I-205 set off a revolt in Lake Oswego that would have as planned divided the community separating the schools from their community. Eventually after the election of Mayor Neil Goldschmidt the Mount Hood Freeway project would finally be canceled and the Federal money poured into mass transit projects. Although 11 copies are located in Worldcat privately owned copies for sale in the trade are quite scarce; See: Val Ballestrem “In the Shadow of a Concrete Forest:†Transportation Politics in Portland Oregon and the Revolt Against the Mount Hood Freeway 1955-1976 2009; Cortright How a Freeway Destroyed a Neighborhood and May Again 2019; Raymond Mohl The Interstates and the Cities: Highways Housing and the Freeway Revolt 2002.

[Bates Brothers Musical Follies]. Williams, Peggy
Annotated Vernacular Album Kept by Miss Peggy Williams Who Worked as a Clown in the Bates Brothers Musical Follies
Various locations 1920. Very good. 51 leaves illustrated with 205 sepia-toned photographs in mounting corners and another handful loose in the album or stored behind other images about a third captioned in white pencil on the album leaves. Oblong quarto. Contemporary black cloth. Moderate soiling and edge wear. Minor occasional wear to photographs. Manuscript inscription on inside front cover reads "Miss Peggy Williams. Bates Bro. Musical Follies." A personal vernacular photograph album kept by Miss Peggy Williams of the Bates Brothers Musical Follies a popular touring circus in the first half of the 20th century. Williams performed as a clown for the Bates Brothers some of which she documents in the present album. Williams likely worked mainly in the 1920s although the range of time represented by the present album runs from roughly 1920 to the late 1960s. The album captures Williams and other members of the Bates Brothers Musical Follies otherwise known as the Bates Brothers Musical Comedy Company while on tour through Nova Scotia and New England with stops in Halifax and Truro as well as Keen New Hampshire; Poughkeepsie New York; Bennington Vermont; Orchard Beach Maine; and other locations. <br /> <br /> The photographs depict the company taking to the road standing beside advertisements dressed in circus attire with white face paint practicing splits and forming human pyramids in their down time. The images capture the troupe largely during recreation times with no images of the performances themselves. Some of the images are studio portraits of the performers. Much of the album captures Williams in slightly later times largely in a domestic capacity. These images include family portraits casual family settings Williams' mother her dog her husband school portraits of unidentified children and other images of babies and friends.<br /> <br /> A pasted advertising sign visible in the background of a few photos touts the Bates company as "A jingling laugh show of mirth melody and dance." These signs indicate the main performers as Kimmie Evans and Dora Davis which should help researchers more accurately date the pictures here. Peggy Williams must have acted in a supporting role as she does not appear to be featured on the company's posters at the time of these photos. Bill Bates is pictured and named as the manager of the eponymous Bates Brothers Musical Follies in which Miss Williams got her start. Two pages refer to the set of the film Arctic City in which Williams played a small role. This set was located in Port Henry New York. A wonderful primary source record of one woman's work as a clown during the Roaring Twenties. unknown
