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

Creases at folds; chemise moderately worn; leaves lightly dust-soiled with one small stain. APPLICATION TO CHARTER AN AFRICAN AMERICAN NON-PROFIT BUSINESS ASSOCIATION. 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
