194068113Springfield: 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.

1962220401962. African American Comics Negro Americans: The Early Years Classics Illustrated No. 169. New York: Gilberton Company Inc. 1962. Staplebound with color-illustrated wrappers. A standalone issue of Classics Illustrated devoted entirely to the contributions of Black Americans from the colonial period through the 20th century. Published in 1962 during the height of the Civil Rights Movement this comic-format educational work-unusual in the Classics Illustrated series for focusing on real historical figures rather than literary fiction-was part of a broader mid-century effort to integrate African American history into mainstream curricula. As the cover proclaims the issue was intended to spotlight "the early years" of Black American achievement and in doing so it offers one of the earliest accessible visual histories of Black leaders for a youth audience. Historical figures covered in this issue include Crispus Attucks the first American killed in the Revolutionary War Benjamin Banneker mathematician and surveyor of Washington D.C. James Beckwourth a pioneering scout of the American West Harriet Tubman Frederick Douglass Daniel Hale Williams the first successful heart surgeon Booker T. Washington educator and founder of Tuskegee Institute George Washington Carver agricultural scientist and Matthew Henson co-discoverer of the North Pole.<br /> <br /> The comic also addresses Black contributions to the American Revolutionary War and Civil War with attention to the roles of enslaved people Black regiments and wartime espionage. Notably the "Inventors" section highlights Elijah McCoy lubrication systems Garrett Morgan gas mask and traffic light and Granville T. Woods rail signaling foregrounding underacknowledged Black innovation in American industrial history. Illustrated in full color throughout with strong sequential art emphasizing dignity resilience and ingenuity. Though the terminology "Negro Americans" reflects mid-century nomenclature the tone is respectful and didactic aimed at broad public education. These visual histories played an important role in the representation of African American figures in postwar American youth culture.Light wear and creasing consistent with age and small pen marks to cover but internally clean and complete. A remarkable and visually compelling early effort to narrate African American history to a popular audience. unknown

1976192297New York: Ballantine Books 1976. A long time ago in a publishing house far far away. First edition signed by the ghostwriter Alan Dean Foster on the title page though solely credited to George Lucas. Published five months before the film's release this popular novelization was the world's first encounter with a long-form story from the galaxy far far away. The cover bears one of Ralph McQuarrie's famous concept illustrations a critical element in 20th Century Fox's decision to greenlight the Star Wars project. Before audiences had seen the special effects heard the sound design or absorbed John Williams's orchestral score Lucas's fast and intense story sold millions of copies. This book version is "perhaps most notable for allowing its readers to experience the interiority of characters from the film. Although the film establishes Leia's willingness to shoot the stormtroopers the novelization allows its readers to imagine the consequences of her act more vividly by narrating the stormtrooper's thoughts and aspirations" Webster p. 51. The novelization includes several key details omitted from the finished 1977 film but later retconned into the series including Palpatine p. 1 the Sith p. 8 and a medal for Chewbacca p. 219. By contrast the most famous opening line in film is here given as "Another galaxy another time". Octavo. Original pictorial wrappers designed by Ralph McQuarrie edges yellow.
