1940ref. 68113Springfield: Negro Youth Improvement League 1940. Paperback. Very Good. 11p. Wrapper. 16cm. The Negro Youth Improvement League is identified in this pamphlet as ". composed of young Negro men and women of Springfield who feel that they have suffered certain social injustices long enough." This uncommon pamphlet attacks the Dunbar Community League claiming that it is elitist refuses to hire local African Americans and disproportionately emphasizes support for Camp Atwater although only 10-15% of its campers are from Springfield.The Dunbar Community League was headed by William Nelson DeBerry a nationally prominent African American cleric who had been pastor of St. John's Congregational Church in Springfield. The Dunbar Community League established around 1930 to take over activities started by DeBerry's church changed its name to Urban League of Springfield Inc. in 1950. Camp Atwater appears to still operate identifying itself online the oldest African American camp in the USA. and as owned and operated by the Urban League of Springfield Mass. We don't know if the complaints in this pamphlet had any effect on the operations and activities of the Dunbar Community League but the pamphlet appears to have been an honest effort by interested youth to make sure that their needs were not being ignaored.

1971ref. 258231971. Original wraps. Very Good. The 1971 stated first --and almost certainly only-- edition of this undoubtedly scarce racial polemic INSCRIBED BY "NIGGER CHRIST" on the front pastedown. We have no printed information on the who or where of publishing but we do have the pseudonymous names of the father-and-son authors "American Prince" and "Nigger Christ". Presumably the name "Nigger Christ" referes to Langston Hughes' famous use of it in his 1931 poem "Christ in Alabama" which was written in response to the infamous Scottsboro Boys trial. The quarto paperback is solifd and VG in its pictorial wrappers with light staining and scuffing --and just a bit of ink scribbling-- along the panels. Internally very clean with few markings beyond the author's inscription. An incendiary reckoning of where things are at racially at this writing 1971 in The United States.

Creases at folds; chemise moderately worn; leaves lightly dust-soiled with one small stain. APPLICATION TO CHARTER AN AFRICAN AMERICAN NON-PROFIT BUSINESS ASSOCIATION. 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.

Uncommon record of the First Congress of the Black Panamanian which was followed by the Second and Third in 1983 and 1988. As Alberto Barrow put it in a follow-up two decades later the congress came from "sustained struggles by different organized sectors of the Afro-Panamanian population who in one way or another tried to provide some kind of response to the varied expressions of the ethnic and racial question in the country with the understanding that in effect this was and undoubtedly still is a transcendent issue for men and women whose full citizenship historically has had to overcome a sea of difficulties because of their African genealogy" our translation.

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.

The first of of three volumes detailing the lives and works of over 65 painters. From the editor: "I concetti informatori che hanno presieduto alla realizzazione del primo volume dedicato alla scuola di Guido Reni ed espressi in quella presentazione non sono venuti meno anche nella facitura di questo lavoro. Il progetto che ci impegna assieme ai giovani e brillanti studiosi come sempre validamente coordinati da Emilio Negro e Massimo Pirondini coadiuvati dall'insostituibile Nicosetta Roio prevede di presentare il più ampio repertorio possibile d'immagini della pittura emiliana del Seicento questa seconda opera testimonia riteniamo con la dovixia di quanto raccolto e proposto la veridicità dell'assunto programmatico. Pubblicando "La scuola dei Carracci dall' Accademia alla bottega di Ludovico" si è provveduto a dividere in due ciò che probabilmente deve essere considerato un solo argomento ma ragioni di opportunità grafico-editoriali un libro di dimensioni sovrabbondanti data la vastità del materiale hanno fatto sì che si dovesse percorrere questa strada. Prima parte dedicata agli artisti legati alle vicende iniziali dell'Accademia: dai Desiderosi agli Incamminati quando i tre Carracci partecipavano congiuntamente alla conduzione dell' impresa e ai non pochi che rimasero a Bologna sotto la guida del solo Ludovico. Precisando che per quanto attiene al più celebrato degli artisti allievi dell'Accademia: Guido Reni si fa riferimento al solo periodo di alunnato. Stesso criterio verrà utilizzato per quei tanti famosi di cui esistono già importanti monografie da enumerarsi nella seconda parte dedicata al gruppo che al seguito di Annibale opererà e si evolverà principalmente a Roma: "La scuola dei Carracci: i seguaci di Annibale a Roma" volume questo di prossima pubblicazione. L'Editore" ""The guiding concepts that presided over the creation of the first volume dedicated to the school of Guido Reni and expressed in that presentation have not failed in the making of this work. The project that engages us together with the young and brilliant scholars as always validly coordinated by Emilio Negro and Massimo Pirondini assisted by the irreplaceable Nicosetta Roio plans to present the widest possible repertoire of images of Emilian painting of the seventeenth century this second work testifies we believe with the abundance of what has been collected and proposed the truthfulness of the programmatic assumption. By publishing "The school of the Carracci from the Academy to Ludovico's workshop" we have proceeded to divide into two what should probably be considered a single topic but for reasons of graphic-editorial opportunity a book of overabundant dimensions given the vastness of the material have meant that this path had to be taken. First part dedicated to the artists linked to the initial events of the Academy: from the Desiderosi to the Incamminati when the three Carraccis jointly participated in the management of the enterprise and to the many who remained in Bologna under the guidance of Ludovico alone. Specifying that as regards the most celebrated of the artists who were students of the Academy: Guido Reni reference is made only to the period of his apprenticeship. The same criterion will be used for those many famous ones of whom important monographs already exist to be listed in the second part dedicated to the group that following Annibale will operate and evolve mainly in Rome: "The school of the Carracci: the followers of Annibale in Rome" a volume this to be published soon. -Editor".
