1952rif. 140944939San Francisco: Acme Publishing Co 1952. First Edition. Near Fine. First edition first printing. A fantastic association copy signed by Sue Bailey Thurman in the year of publication and warmly inscribed "For Alfred G. Fisk native son and pioneer for whom I am indebted for my deep love of California." Alfred G. Fisk was the catalyst for Sue Bailey Thurman's time spent living in California. Fisk a white philosophy professor at San Francisco City College now SF State and a local Presbyterian minister started to meet with colleagues to discuss how they could best bridge the divide "of understanding among the varied races cultures and faiths presented in American society." He envisioned a church where both black and white could pray together seamlessly as equals and reached out to Sue Bailey Thurman's husband Howard a Black theologian who was the Dean of Chapel at Howard University in Washington D.C. Fisk asked if Thurman could recommend a student or colleague for a co-pastor role at the church he was envisioning. "We don't want the church to be in any sense run by whites 'for' Negroes" Fisk wrote to Howard Thurman on Oct. 15 1943. "It should be of and by and for both groups. . We are committed to a real equality between the races in all aspects of church organization" Fisk continued. "The boards of the church the choir the Sunday School and its staff will all be of mixed character. The co-pastors will have absolutely equal status and will alternate Sundays in preaching and in taking other parts of the service." Ultimately it was Howard himself who filled that role as preacher at what would be called The Church For the Fellowship of All Peoples. And it was with his prominence that the church quickly gained popularity and even gained members from afar who couldn't attend services including former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. While in San Francisco Sue Bailey Thurman led the church's Intercultural Committee and co-led a delegation to one of the earliest UNESCO conferences convened in Paris in 1949.

rif. 312Collection of six handwritten manuscript letters from the renowned African American theologian philosopher and civil rights leader Howard Thurman 1973-1980 describing work on his autobiography his efforts to organize the recordings of decades of his lectures and sermons and his reflections on aging and his mortality. Five single-sided letters and one double-sided all written in Thurman's hand on Howard Thurman Educational Trust letterhead. Typically signed H Howard H&S or Howard and Sue on behalf of Thurman's wife Sue Bailey Thurman and addressed to recipients George and Lillian. Letters are dated February 3 1973; June 15 1973; May 23 1974; May 28 1975; March 16 1979; March 27 1980. Like Thurman's published work the tone of the letters is friendly and warm as well as thoughtful and literary. In his letter of May 28 1975 Thurman writes in part: "For the first time in my life I have had a real struggle with my health. At last I am learning to accept the fact that my body is after all a body not a machine altogether. Without feeling that I am disintegrating I am taking a rest each afternoon for a little while without feeling that I am an old man or an invalid. It is a wonderful freedom! Sue I have just come from Florida - my hometown where Mrs. Bethune's college is located." In the letter of March 16 1979 Thurman writes: "I wonder if you can imagine the quality of the personal assurance that comes to my spirit and my heart that your participation gives. As the years accumulate I am more and more mindful of the companions of Heart upon which one draws with increasing urgency in many little and big ways. At last I am near the end of my autobiography - one more major chapter to be finished - then all that is left is the Intro the Prologue that I shall have to squeeze out of the deeper regions of my spirit." While a prolific author and known to frequently inscribe his books original manuscript material and correspondence by Thurman is remarkably scarce.
