Address label of Warren Morgan of Baltimore see below on the lower wrap causing a bit of light rippling. Light wear and a bit of light marginal foxing near fine. Issue of the important NAACP magazine founded by W.E.B. Du Bois published the month of Dr. King's assassination. Given the fact that they had almost no time to prepare this issue prints a memorial cover portrait an editorial titled "The Martyrdom of Martin Luther King Jr." and "NAACP mourns loss of Dr. King" in the "Battlefront section" alongside several articles that must have already been slated for publication. The intrepid B.T. Enterprises of Cleveland Ohio has also taken out a half-page ad selling memorial medals honoring Dr. King. This issue was mailed to Warren Morgan of Baltimore a civil rights activist who was also sadly the victim of racial violence: according to a March 1964 article in The New York Times Morgan at that time the head of Students Action for Equality at Maryland State College and six other African-American students were invited by the pastor to Easter Service at a White Methodist church and three of them were attacked after the service by a dozen young White men. Warren was hospitalized with a fractured cheekbone. Warren would go on to receive his doctorate at Oklahoma State University and work as the Vice President of Student Affairs at Florida A&M University and Dean of Student Affairs at Benedict College among others.

1949ref. 188141949. Moon Bucklin. The Darker Brother 1949 brought Moon's 1943 novel of a Black Florida family's migration to Harlem into the postwar mass-market paperback trade centering the racial discrimination Ben encounters after moving North. The novel follows Ben from Florida to Harlem where expectations of greater freedom confront housing employment and interpersonal racism; his later military service returns him to the segregated South. Published originally during World War II the narrative placed these experiences within the movement of African Americans from the South to northern cities and the persistence of racial discrimination beyond the Jim Crow South. Moon Bucklin. The Darker Brother. New York City: Bantam Books November 1949. Bantam edition. First paperback printing. 246 pp. Original pictorial wrappers. 8vo. No dust jacket as issued. The front wrapper depicts Ben and his fiancée Birdie on a Harlem street confronted by a white man clutching papers with buildings and street activity visible behind them. Red blue and gold dominate the illustration. Across the upper margin appears the publisher's line "He came up North for freedom and got---Harlem!" The rear wrapper announces "Born the Wrong Color" in red lettering and summarizes Ben's experiences of racial prejudice. The cover's language and confrontation scene recast Moon's novel for the postwar paperback market by emphasizing racial conflict as its principal selling point. First published by Doubleday Doran in 1943 The Darker Brother follows Ben his mother and sister from Florida to Harlem and traces the consequences of racial violence and discrimination as Ben searches for work plans a future with Birdie and enters military service. Contemporary reviews recognized race relations as the novel's central subject while Moon continued addressing racial discrimination in A Primer for White Folks 1945 and The High Cost of Prejudice 1947. The 1949 Bantam edition is particularly revealing for the history of African American representation in popular publishing: its wrapper converts a novel about Black migration and racism into the visual and promotional vocabulary of the mid-century paperback juxtaposing the promise of northern freedom with the publisher's stark Harlem street scene. Minor creasing to the lower right corner of the front wrapper and minor chipping to the spine neither affecting text or illustration; internally clean and overall very good condition. unknown books
