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.

Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) A modern fine full leather bdg. in the Ottoman style. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 14 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 134, [1] p., 1 Washington's portrait, 3 unnumbered b/w plates. First and only Turkish edition of this exceedingly rare biography of the important African-American leader Booker T. Washington. The first studies and translations regarding slavery and abolition were made in the early years of the young Turkish Republic, which had refused the legacy of its imperial predecessor. In this period, several classics of American anti-slavery literature and the present work were translated for the first time. Booker Taliaferro Washington was an American educator, author, orator, and adviser to multiple presidents of the United States. Between 1890 and 1915, Washington was the dominant leader of the African American community and the contemporary black elite. Washington was from the last generation of black American leaders born into slavery and became the leading voice of the former slaves and their descendants. Özege 11210.

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.

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. Burke Dorothy C. Guinn Frances Gunn and Edward J. McCoo. These works explore themes of racial identity historical struggle and the resilience of African American communities.

"This is the book of knowledge acquired through research carried on since three-quarters of a century in the neighboring countries bordering the Black Sea." (From the Preface by Ekrem Barlas). "This manuscript gives for the first time, a general summary of the marine and freshwater fishes in the Black Sea Basin. In the last century, a series of documents on the fauna of the Aral-Pontic, Caspian Basin has been published by K. Kessler and other authors. But, Since then, several investigations on the fauna of fishes of the Black Sea Basin made by individuals and expeditions revealed the existence of entirely different conditions. Therefore some deceased species have been described. Furthermore, as a result of the migration of the Mediterranean fauna into the Black Sea, the lists have become richer with the addition of many species which were unknown earlier. This book consists of two sections: 1. Special section which deals with the study of the composition of the fish fauna, and its systematic and biological characteristics. 2. The section consists of a summary of the historical study of the Black Sea fauna, its genesis, and a short hydrological and geological history of the sea. In the special section, 237 species and subspecies have been described. These belong to 20 groups, 56 families, and 122 genera. This section also includes the emigrants of the Mediterranean, remnants of Pontic fossils, and freshwater forms." (From the Slastenenko's foreword).
