1931réf. 14390Minden LA 1931. Very Good. Minden LA: 1931. Original black and white photograph 15.5x25.5cm. depicting the girls' basketball team alongside their coach Mr. Russ each player identified in ink manuscript along bottom of image. Photograph slightly curled with very small flaw at bottom of image else Very Good overall. Misidentifying manuscript label mounted to verso identifying the team in "Shreveport LA / Circa 1947 / Washington ". The label is a red herring misdating and misplacing the photograph sixteen years late and thirty miles west. The center player holds a basketball dated '31 nineteen years before Booker T. Washington High School was founded. The school almost certainly is Webster High School in Minden Louisiana thirty miles east. The building in the background and the women's slightly mismatching uniforms conform to those depicted in W.L.G. Abney's 1950s booklet "The History of Webster High School." Indeed the simple whitewashed wooden structure sitting on a brick pile foundation appears to be either the back of the dormitory or the newly-completed library the ground still unpaved dirt. The story of the founding of Webster High School less than ten years earlier in 1922 displays the dedication and financial burden of a Black community in the heart of the Jim Crow South. According to Abney's history a Colored Board of Trustees comprised of members of the community first set out to find a suitable site for a new school settling on a piece of land "owned and occupied as a home by one of Minden's colored citizens Mr. Henry Harris who was perfectly happy there and had no desire to sell." Abney glosses over the displacement of Harris but the site was secured and approved by the White Parish board "with the understanding that the colored people themselves would have to make substantial financial contribution if they were to secure this site because no money had been budgeted for the cause at that time." Indeed by 1931 the list of state-sponsored schools in Louisiana for White and Black students was sixty-eight to four. Webster was not one of those four schools. As Abney's history delineates however the money was raised by the community through the leadership and outreach of the Colored Board of Trustees and by 1931 a library had been erected and numerous sports teams active. The date is also significant as it coincides with the founding of two of the first all-Black all-women's professional basketball clubs the Philadelphia Tribune Girls and the Chicago Romas. Perhaps these pioneering teams inspired the formation of Webster High School's girls' basketball team. In any case the members listed are as follows: Coach Mr. Russ Tena Lowery Hazel Garrett Willie Stewart B. Green M. Ford Bran Watson M. Gafford E. McCorey Ella B. Gafford Lorscie Henry and Louella Ruffin. unknown
1943réf. BK0057Pine Bluff Arkansas 1943. Gelatin silver photograph 5 x 7 inches. Minor loss or wear at upper left corner otherwise very good. A class photograph of the 1943 graduating class of Merrill High School one of only a handful of schools serving Black students in Pine Bluff before integration. Approximately fifty graduates and several faculty members pose in caps and gowns before the school with the image captioned in the negative "Merrill High School / May 22 1943 / Pine Bluff Ark." Merrill was established in 1886 and graduated its first students in 1894. It became an important center of Black secondary education in Pine Bluff and was the third Black high school in Arkansas accredited by the North Central Association. The school continued as a Black high school until the integration of Pine Bluff's public schools around 1970-71. unknown books
1920réf. List3814Nashville Tennessee: Ambrose 1920. Printed photographic postcard measuring approximately 3 ½ x 5 ½ inches. Recto with two portraits of Laurence C. Jones captioned "Laurence C. Jones Ph. B." and describing him as founder and president of the Piney Woods Country Life School "an opportunity school for the training of the head hand and heart of underprivileged colored boys and girls in the Black Belt of Mississippi." Divided postcard back with printed appeal headed "How to Help Piney Woods School" soliciting money clothing shoes and scholarships. Light wear and soiling; very good. A fundraising postcard for Laurence C. Jones and the Piney Woods Country Life School in Piney Woods Mississippi. Jones founded the school in 1909 to provide academic industrial and agricultural education for African American children in rural Mississippi. The front of the card summarizes the school's purpose in the language of the period describing it as an "opportunity school" for the training of "head hand and heart" in the Black Belt. The verso gives a direct appeal for support requesting "money in any amount-even one dollar is helpful" and asking for clothing and shoes for young men and women "who are working their way." It also gives the price of scholarships: $100 for an academic scholarship $50 for an industrial scholarship or $5 a month to give a boy or girl the opportunity to enter the school.

1950réf. 5036Washington DC: Cortez W. Peters Business School 1950. About very good. 60pp. Original purple wrappers printed in silver. Some soiling and staining to covers minor chipping and rubbing. Small unobtrusive stain to fore-edge of text overall even toning. A seemingly-unrecorded yearbook from the Washington D.C. branch of the Cortez W. Peters Business School the first African-American-owned business school in the United States. The co-educational school was founded in 1834 in the Nation's Capital followed in the next few years by branches in Chicago and Baltimore. The founder Cortez W. Peters taught himself to type as a child and went on to become the first African-American champion of the World's Amateur Typing Contest. Peters' school was one of the first to teach typing to Black students while also offering instruction in shorthand and other clerical skills. The present yearbook begins with a message from Peters which strikes a conciliatory tone in the wake of racial tensions that followed the conclusion of the Second World War: "We naturally resent discrimination lack of opportunities oppression.But on the other hand there are many other values to be considered which should make us tolerant and willing to work out these traditional handicaps generally." This is followed by messages from the dean and class president Eva Itene Brown then portraits of students and faculty a class history a class prophecy class will class poem and twelve pages of group photographs including shots of the men's and women's basketball teams the coronation ball and images featuring students in the classroom. Many of the students both men and women have included words of advice or stated their personal goals which are printed beside their portraits "To be a good typist" "To be a stenographer" and so forth. OCLC lists a single copy of three similar yearbooks all under different titles from other years and branches of the school Washington D.C. and Chicago in 1948 and an undated yearbook from Baltimore but not this particular year at the school's home base.

réf. 103283Bombay circa 1860. . Large painting on board signed 'Punir Shabab Bombay' signed in lower left-hand corner gouache on thick board depicting an elegantly robed gentleman seated on an open terrace with a moon-lit countryside and winding river in the background with stars illuminating the sky 600 x 440 mm; some light water-staining and a small section of the top-left corner chipped with loss rubbed and darkened as often; reverse blank in modern frame glazed. A very attractive and large portrait of a Governor of Bombay possibly of Parsi heritage apparently executed by a local Indian artist. The large verandah on which the subject is seated features some classical western architectural features including the column and balcony railing. These features paired with the silk embroidered robes and multiple strands of beaded jewellery of the subject signify that the sitter was of high rank and likely governor of the region and land that is disproportionately seen behind him as a vast and luscious landscape. The scene is rather unusually set at night-time with the light of the moon and stars shining against a darkened sky to create a very atmospheric and captivating image. Bombay, circa 1860. unknown
