1963221701963. Civil Rights African American Slavery and Abolition A complete set of the Adventures in Negro History educational LP series created to promote Black history and culture during the Civil Rights era through dramatized narration and scholarly commentary. Adventures in Negro History: Volumes I-III. Highlight Radio Productions 1963 1966 1969. Three original 12-inch 33⅓ rpm vinyl LPs each record housed in original illustrated jacket. Commissioned by Pepsi-Cola and produced by the Chicago-based Highlight Radio Productions this project brought together historians actors and community leaders in an accessible audio-driven public history format. Each volume explores a distinct theme in African American experience with powerful graphic covers and scholarly liner notes by eminent historians John Hope Franklin and Elsie M. Lewis.<br /> <br /> 1 Volume I: Adventures in Negro History 1963. Illustrated in stark black and white the cover features a stylized portrait of a bound enslaved man visually evoking the violent conditions of enslavement and the struggle for freedom. The back cover provides capsule biographies of pivotal figures including Estevanico Crispus Attucks and W.E.B. Du Bois as well as dramatizations of "Douglass!" and "Pinchback!" The LP includes dramatized reenactments written and directed by Ossie Davis and is voiced by Ruby Dee Godfrey Cambridge Brock Peters and Roy Glenn. The liner text opens: "We cannot afford to let the story of Negro Americans-who they were how they lived what they did-go untold. This is a job that needs doing in all the classrooms of America." The tone is urgent and pedagogical designed to be played in schools libraries and community centers. <br /> <br /> 2 Volume II: The Frederick Douglass Years 1817-1895 1966.With a bold blue cover echoing the design of Volume I this LP focuses entirely on Douglass's life from enslavement to abolitionist leader. A full panel on the reverse contains the essay What the Douglass Years Mean to America by John Hope Franklin then Professor of American History at the University of Chicago. Franklin writes: "The Frederick Douglass story is the story of America in the nineteenth century. it is the story of man's struggle for justice and liberty in a society often committed more to self-interest than to high principle." The dramatizations include scenes from Douglass's escape from slavery his debates with white abolitionists and his role during Reconstruction. The same acclaimed voice cast from Volume I returns. <br /> <br /> 3 Volume III: The Afro-American's Quest for Education - A Black Odyssey 1969.This volume shifts focus to the historical struggle for Black educational access from slavery through desegregation. The cover rendered in burnt sienna and black features a graphic portrait of a bearded elder flanked by line drawings of teachers students and historic Black institutions. On the verso Dr. Elsie M. Lewis Professor of History at Howard University contributes a major essay declaring: "No phase of the American Negro's history is more crucial more dramatic or more moving than his long dogged quest for education." Her commentary frames education as both a right and revolutionary act for African Americans. Like earlier entries Volume III blends narrative scenes with documentary-style commentary. <br /> <br /> All three LPs are in very good condition with minor edge wear to sleeves. Vinyl appears clean with no visible scratches. These records were not mass-marketed and were distributed largely through educational and community networks making complete sets scarce. unknown

1970209241970. African American Black World: A Johnson Publication. Chicago: Johnson Publishing Company 588 pages total. Five magazine issues in library binding 1970. Contains individual magazine covers in book binding. A five issue set of Black World from the months of May to October of 1970. The magazine was initially called Negro Digest and was founded by John H. Johnson in order to provide an African-American alternative to the broadly white focused Reader's Digest. Founded in 1942 the magazine experienced a collapse in 1950s but was revived in the 1960s as Black World. Reflecting the influence of the Black Power movement of the time the magazine shifted its focus towards political economic and social issues effecting the black community at the time. The five volumes contained within this book contain poetry short stories reflections on pan-Africanism examinations of racism Swahili language studies and continental African politics. Much of the content of the issues reflects a wider change at the apex of the Black Power movement in which the magazine pivoted towards the politics of continental Africa and the Caribbean broadening the scope of the movement itself. Overall very good condition pages 57-62 of September volume missing. Ultimately the issues demonstrate a new moment in African-American politics following the Civil Rights Movement. unknown
