1922ref. 47910Columbus OH: The National Association of Negro Musicians 1922. Near Fine. Columbus OH: The National Association of Negro Musicians 1922. First Edition. Bifolium 22.5cm; black ink on beige paper stock. Vertical spine fold slightly off-center otherwise fine. An unrecorded program from the fourth annual convention of the National Association of Negro Musicians NANM held in Columbus Ohio July 25-27 1922 notably ending with performances by a 25-year-old Marian Anderson in an early and significant national appearance. An article by Carl Diton who accompanied Anderson on piano for these Columbus performances in The Crisis gives a contemporary dispatch on this 1922 Columbus convention: "At present the most brilliant achievement of the National Association of Negro Musicians is its conventions. This fact should not be under-estimated for in point of constructive thought to say nothing of the vast crowds of people attendant upon its evening concert sessions which the standing room of the largest procurable auditoriums is at a premium these conventions go far towards rivaling those of older and more experienced national associations. Every year brings forth an amazing wealth of the noblest kind of talent which is even to the older and more seasoned members vividly startling." Diton continues with praise of the Columbus convention "It is however the consensus of opinion that the Columbus Ohio convention of 1922 characterized by the absolute satisfaction of the delegates as to their personal comfort the total absence of anything that savoured of graft and the absolute punctuality of the sessions was the masterpiece of them all." pp. 21-22 The program concluded with a performance of three selections by Marian Anderson followed by the presentation of a scholarship to her. Soon after Anderson continued her study with voice teacher Giuseppe Boghetti and had her first studio recordings with the Victor Talking Machine Company in 1923 launching one of the most important careers in Black American music. Not separately cataloged in OCLC and early NANM material quite uncommon in retail. Carl Diton "The National Association of Negro Musicians." The Crisis: Volume 26 Issue 1 May 1923 pp. 21-22.

1890ref. 196721890. Barrows Isabel C. ed. First Mohonk Conference on the Negro Question Held at Lake Mohonk Ulster County New York June 4 5 6 1890 1890 records one of the earliest organized national discussions among white reformers politicians and intellectuals addressing the status of African Americans in the decades following Reconstruction. Convened at a moment when Black political rights were being systematically dismantled across the South through disenfranchisement and violence the conference brought together predominantly white Northern and Southern participants to debate labor education and civil status. The proceedings include the intervention of Reconstruction advocate Albion W. Tourgée whose address "The Negro's View of the Race Problem" directly challenged the exclusion of Black voices and concluded with a proposed resolution that failed to gain support. Statements within the conference reflect prevailing racial barriers including the observation that in Philadelphia "a colored man may carry mortar up a ladder but he is not allowed to lay the bricks" underscoring systemic exclusion from skilled labor and economic advancement. Barrows Isabel C. ed. First Mohonk Conference on the Negro Question Held at Lake Mohonk Ulster County New York June 4 5 6 1890. Boston: Geo. H. Ellis 1890. Softcover pamphlet format 142 pages measuring approximately 24 cm. Original front cover preserved and laid in with a color facsimile wrapper supplied for protection. Text printed as conference proceedings compiling speeches discussions and resolutions delivered across the three-day meeting. Produced during the consolidation of Jim Crow policies and the retreat from Reconstruction-era protections this document provides direct evidence of how white-led reform movements framed and debated Black citizenship at the national level. The absence of substantive Black participation alongside Tourgée's protest highlights tensions between advocacy and paternalism within late nineteenth-century reform discourse. As a printed record of policy-oriented discussion the volume supports research into labor exclusion education policy and the ideological foundations of segregation-era governance. Minor staining to lower margins; otherwise very good condition. unknown

IT WAS CREATED IN RESPONSE TO JIM CROW LAWS THAT REMAINED IN FORCE IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND ELSEWHERE. THIS SCARCE PRIMARY SOURCE MATERIAL DOCUMENTS THE NEEDS OF AFRICAN AMERICAN BUSINESS OWNERS TO UNITE IN ORDER TO SURVIVE. Our charter shows that the "Negro Licensed Beverage Association of Western Pennsylvania" NLBAWP was a group of African American hotel owners restaurant owners and tavern owners. Lingering Jim Crow laws and other societal forces made it exceptionally difficult for such businesses to succeed in the Pittsburgh area and of course elsewhere. The late 1950s and early 1960s saw the development of similar organizations in Philadelphia National Negro Licensed Beverage Association and New Orleans Negro Tavern Owners Association. Importantly this document lists the goals of the NLBAWP organization: "To foster strengthen and improve business within the Negro community." "To advance the cause of the Negro tavern and hotel owner as a whole." "To give service to members to do things for them which they cannot do for themselves or which can be done better or less expensively if done collectively." "To create and project the proper image of a tavern or hotel owner in the community." "To sponsor aid and assist any charitable or civic project approved by the members." One noteworthy incorporator listed here was Vivian Mason Lane. Lane owned four Pittsburgh taverns in the 1960s and was a community leader through at least the 1980s. She led a neighborhood Chamber of Commerce and ran unsuccessfully for County Commissioner and the State House. The 1966-67 Negro Traveler's Green Book "For Vacation Without Aggravation!" lists a grand total of eight suitable motels tourist homes and restaurants in Pittsburgh. In any event we have been unable to determine what -- if anything -- became of the Negro Licensed Beverage Association of Western Pennsylvania.
