IT WAS CREATED IN RESPONSE TO JIM CROW LAWS THAT REMAINED IN FORCE IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND ELSEWHERE. THIS SCARCE PRIMARY SOURCE MATERIAL DOCUMENTS THE NEEDS OF AFRICAN AMERICAN BUSINESS OWNERS TO UNITE IN ORDER TO SURVIVE. <br /> <br /> Our charter shows that the "Negro Licensed Beverage Association of Western Pennsylvania" NLBAWP was a group of African American hotel owners restaurant owners and tavern owners. Lingering Jim Crow laws and other societal forces made it exceptionally difficult for such businesses to succeed in the Pittsburgh area and of course elsewhere. The late 1950s and early 1960s saw the development of similar organizations in Philadelphia National Negro Licensed Beverage Association and New Orleans Negro Tavern Owners Association. <br /> <br /> Importantly this document lists the goals of the NLBAWP organization:<br /> <br /> "To foster strengthen and improve business within the Negro community." <br /> "To advance the cause of the Negro tavern and hotel owner as a whole." <br /> "To give service to members to do things for them which they cannot do for themselves or which can be done better or less expensively if done collectively." <br /> "To create and project the proper image of a tavern or hotel owner in the community." <br /> "To sponsor aid and assist any charitable or civic project approved by the members."<br /> <br /> One noteworthy incorporator listed here was Vivian Mason Lane. Lane owned four Pittsburgh taverns in the 1960s and was a community leader through at least the 1980s. She led a neighborhood Chamber of Commerce and ran unsuccessfully for County Commissioner and the State House.<br /> <br /> The 1966-67 Negro Traveler's Green Book "For Vacation Without Aggravation!" lists a grand total of eight suitable motels tourist homes and restaurants in Pittsburgh. In any event we have been unable to determine what -- if anything -- became of the Negro Licensed Beverage Association of Western Pennsylvania. Shields, Watson & Washington, Attorneys at Law unknown

1944WRCAM55481Detroit 1944. Illustrated broadside printed on thick cardstock 21 3/4 x 13 3/4 inches. Soiling chipping closed edge tears and creasing. Good condition. An extraordinary survival - a large-format illustrated fundraising poster for the Detroit chapter of the United Negro College Fund UNCF in the first year of the organization's existence. Though the poster is undated it likely emanates from 1944 the founding and initial fundraising year for UNCF when its national fundraising goal was $1.5 million and the number of schools involved with the group was twenty-seven. The fundraising "quota" for the Detroit area was $75000 as stated here. The poster is printed in brown and green urging potential donors to "help maintain 27 Negro Colleges." Three photographs are printed in brown in the middle of the poster showing a young African- American man in a laboratory "Training for Scientific Production in War and Peace" a young man on a tractor "Education in Action - Training for Food Production" and an image of several men standing on the steps of a government building captioned "Lord Halifax Observes Training for Leadership." Both national committee members including John D. Rockefeller Jr. and the local "Detroit Committee" are listed at the bottom just above a notice that "Workers are Needed" and listings of the address and phone number for the Detroit office. <br> <br> The United Negro College Fund was founded in 1944 to address inequities in higher education funding and opportunities for African-American youth by appealing to the "national conscience." The organization focused on private historically-black colleges and universities and initially sought funding solely from the African- American community. Over the last seventy- five years the organization has grown to assist almost forty schools of higher education and advocate for K-12 education and has raised more than $5 billion to help over half a million students earn college degrees. <br> <br> No copies of this fundraising poster are listed in OCLC nor in any source we can locate. It is a rare surviving artifact from the founding year of one of the most important organizations devoted to African- American higher education.

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. Bookseller ink stamp to first leaf. Extremities of wrappers creased and rubbed rear wrapper and bottom edge warped occasional spotting. A very good copy. Jeremy W.

This anthology of plays written by African American playwrights from the late 1800s onward is a landmark anthology of African American drama compiled and edited by Harlem Renaissance playwright Willis Richardson.

His works emphasized racial pride dignity and the richness of Black history helping to lay the foundation for later generations of Black playwrights. In the introduction Richardson gives credit for historical correctness of the facts to Dr. Carter G. Woodson. This compilation was created in order to praise the history and works of African American writers and inspire other African Americans to learn about their heritage and celebrate their culture. It features a selection of plays and pageants written by Richardson and other notable Black playwrights including Thelma Myrtle Duncan Maud Cuney-Hare and John Matheus May Miller Willis Richardson Inez M.

Lewis.<br /> <br /> 1 Volume I: Adventures in Negro History 1963.

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.
