19272783N.p. 1927. Very good. 9pp. Gathered signatures stapled. Minor rusting to staples light soiling to margins of outer leaves. A rare pamphlet printing an interesting essay on the nature of race prejudice by one of the foremost African American minds of the early-20th century. Kelly Miller a noted African American scholar mathematician and teacher was a professor at Howard University and a well-regarded essayist on racial topics. Four of his books were collections of these types of essays including Race Justice 1908 Out of the House of Bondage 1914 An Appeal to Conscience 1918 and The Everlasting Stain 1924. The present essay does not appear in any of these works and by necessity must have been printed sometime during or after the latter two works as it refers in the last paragraph to the number of French women who married "negroes" during the "World War." It is most likely an offprint of an article by Miller entitled "Race prejudice innate or acquired" published in the July-August 1927 issue of Journal of Applied Sociology. Miller's essay argues that race prejudice is not innate but rather an acquired "one-sided passion.stimulated by adult instruction.clearly modifiable by time place and circumstance.exhibited in varying degrees of intensity by the different sections of the white race." Further Miller discusses "natural antipathy" among the races especially with regard to "interbreeding."

19113634Clarksville Tn: W.P. Titus Printer and Binder 1911. Very good. 103pp. plus eleven photographic plates. Original grey printed wrappers. Minor edge wear. A history of the African American community of Port Royal Tennessee centered around the Carr family founders of the historic Mt. Zion Baptist Church. The history was compiled by Harriet Parks Miller a white resident of Port Royal from interviews with church pioneers and community members. The book begins with an interview of then-86-year-old Aunt Kitty Carr who was born free in the state of Virginia in 1915 followed by an interview of her husband Uncle Horace Carr the first pastor of the church who was born into slavery in Tennessee. The book contains anecdotes of antebellum times for instance descriptions of how whites and blacks used to worship in the same church an interview in which Uncle John McGowan describes being sold and a description of an antebellum corn shucking by Horace Carr. The book also covers the Civil War period as well as the period after the war with a focus on the pioneering days of Mt. Zion Church including tales of early sermons and camp meetings the organization of the church and sketches of prominent local religious figures. The tone is generally respectful of the African American community with the interviews free of dialect and the author providing a positive assessment of abolition rather than the romanticized versions of the antebellum past so common in that era noting that "surely the hand of divinity was in it all.the Institution of slavery was abolished.
