194085641Washington: Associates in Negro Folk Education 1940. 1st ed. Hardcover. Very Good. frontis color numerous black & white illustrations and two pages in color 124 4 125-222p. Recent quarterbinding marbled boards attractively backed in leather. 31 cm. Horizontal crease as usual on frontis. Other internal soiling and wear but generally sound. No jacket. When we got this book the binding was beyond repair. We had the binder preserve and mount a small piece less than the size of a business-card of the original endpaper on which Locke had INSCRIBED this copy to Dorothy Maynor the talented singer and founder of the Harlem School of the Arts. The three panels of the Amistad Murals done on canvas by Hale Woodruff and located in Savery Memorial Library at Talladega College in Talladega Alabama are illustrated in color on the center pages of the unnumbered four page section which is found after page 124. These mural panels were unveiled in 1939 just a year before publication of this book. The unnumbered Amistad Murals section may have been a last minute addition to the book. The section is described on the Contents page as facing page 124. We don't know whether it was present in all copies of the 1940 edition. Associates in Negro Folk Education hardcover
