Abert Colonel Corps Topographical Engineers paying homage to the accuracy of Baron Humboldt's map of the Valley of Mexico and stating that it was the only one in which they placed confidence for moving troops in to capture the city. He remarks however that he believes that the present map is the first survey of the valley ever made by triangulation. His colleague E.L.F.

1972List916N.P. 1972. . Poster measuring 14 x 22 inches. Some marks a closed tear with tape repair edgewear and creasing very good minus overall. Very Good. After John Conyers' efforts to create a national holiday honoring Martin Luther King Jr. failed in congress days following his assassination the first celebrations of Martin Luther King's birthday began in 1969 when the newly created King Center led by Coretta Scott King organized events in King's honor on his birthday of January 15th. Observations of King's birthday followed in each subsequent year with the SCLC collecting three million signatures in support of a national holiday in 1971. Despite these efforts no bill honoring King would be signed into law until 1973 in Illinois. Offered here is a poster from one of these early celebrations in 1972. We can find no record of the artist - a J.L. - or similar surviving examples of this poster. unknown books

Dust jacket with some minor soiling one small tear to top edge of rear cover. Japanese translation of Martin Luther King Jr.'s final book containing the important chapter on "Black Power." King's book is about non-violence in the face of growing black nationalism and militancy in the mid-1960s. "In his last book Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community 1967 King dismissed the claim of Black Power advocates 'to be the most revolutionary wing of the social revolution taking place in the United States' but he acknowledged that they responded to a psychological need among African Americans he had not previously addressed. 'Psychological freedom a firm sense of self-esteem is the most powerful weapon against the long night of physical slavery' King wrote. 'The Negro will only be truly free when he reaches down to the inner depths of his own being and signs with the pen and ink of assertive selfhood his own emancipation proclamation'" -- ANB.

15509King Jr. Dr. Martin Luther. Banner with a large illustrated bust at center and with the bold text "WE SHALL OVERCOME" along the top edge. A large original period banner measuring 12" x 15.5" with text and illustration of Dr. King in dark yellow on black felt with machine-sewn upper border inserted wood rod and stapled white tassels. This piece is a fine rare and well-preserved example celebrating the civil rights hero. It is the only example of this type we have ever offered. <br/><br/>The legacy left by King in the modern African American freedom struggle was to link black aspirations to transcendent widely shared democratic ideals. While helping grassroots leaders mobilize African Americans for sustained mass struggles he inspired participants to believe that their cause was just and consistent with traditional American egalitarian values. King also appealed to the consciences of all Americans thus building popular support for civil rights reform. unknown books
