1968146528Philadelphia/Boston: Pilgrim Press 1968. First edition thus of this collection of King's two notable devotional addresses "What is Man" and "The Dimensions of a Complete Life." 12mo original cloth illustrated with photographs by Kenneth Thompson Wide World and United Press International. Boldly signed by Coretta Scott King on the front free endpaper. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Rare and desirable signed. In August 1958 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. preached two sermons "What is Man" and "The Dimensions of a Complete Life" at the first National Conference on Christian Education of the United Church of Christ at Purdue University. In response to demands made by conference attendees King allowed publication of the addresses. With King's consent the sermons were published by the Christian Education Press in a short book entitled "The Measure of a Man." The press and King arranged for proceeds to be shared evenly after the former had recovered its costs of publication. King first developed the theme of "What Is Man" during his seminary days. King believed the sermon's title to be "one of the most important questions confronting any generation" proposing that man is many things: "a biological being" "a being of spirit" who is "made in the image of God" and "sinners in need of God's divine grace".

1958022820Chicago: Sydney Harris 1958 Black-and-white print depicting the civil rights leader against a black background signed by Civil Rights photographer Sydney Harris. Matted and framed 19 x 17 inches in fine condition. Provenance: From the estate of Addie Wyatt who appears in an Associated Press photograph by Nam Huh with the print. The Reverends Addie and Claude Wyatt Jr. were fixtures of the American Civil Rights movement through the second half of the 20th century. Addie began her career working with the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of North America in Chicago in 1941. Together they founded Chicago’s Vernon Park Church of God in 1956 and for the next twelve years were closely associated with Dr. Martin Luther King’s peace movement joining him at the March on Washington in 1963 the Selma to Montgomery Marches in 1965 and the Chicago demonstration in 1966. In the early 1960s Eleanor Roosevelt appointed Addie to a position on the Labor Legislation Committee on the United States Commission on the Status of Women. A vital force in the arena of labor rights she founded the Coalition of Labor Union Women in 1974. The following year she and Barbara Jordan became the first African American women to be honored as Persons of the Year by Time Magazine. Claude Wyatt Jr. served as the Southern Christian Leadership as Chicago director of the Ministerial Leadership Movement and as a board member of People United to Serve Humanity PUSH. Sydney Harris worked for nearly half a century as a photographer activist and union organizer with a focus on civil rights. During the Spanish Civil War he served as a scout with the Abraham Lincoln Brigade and upon his return to American shores he devoted himself to the cause of equal rights in the United States. During the 1950s he was labeled a subversive by the U.S. government and was subject to surveillance for many years after his associations with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and Cesar Chavez gaining him extra scrutiny throughout the 1960s.

1968191501968. King Martin Luther Jr. Speeches by The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. About the War in Vietnam published 1968 presents a compilation of public addresses delivered during the final year of King's life in which he articulated his opposition to United States involvement in the Vietnam War. King had emerged as the most visible leader of the Civil Rights Movement during the 1950s and 1960s and by 1967 he increasingly connected civil rights activism with broader questions of American foreign policy and global justice. In these speeches King framed the war as both a moral and political crisis arguing that the conflict contradicted principles of human rights and diverted resources from domestic efforts to combat poverty and racial inequality. The speeches therefore document the moment when King expanded his public advocacy from civil rights legislation to criticism of American military policy.<br /> <br /> King Martin Luther Jr. Speeches by The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. About the War in Vietnam. New York: Clergy and Laymen Concerned About Vietnam 1968. The pamphlet collects three speeches delivered between April 1967 and February 1968: "Vietnam and the Struggle for Human Rights" "The Domestic Impact of the War in Vietnam" and "Vietnam Is Upon Us." In these addresses King explained his decision to speak publicly against the war writing that "my conscience leaves me no other choice." He described the conflict as a "nightmarish conflict" and argued that its consequences extended beyond Southeast Asia emphasizing the social and economic effects of wartime mobilization on American communities. The publication was issued by the organization Clergy and Laymen Concerned About Vietnam an interfaith coalition of religious leaders and activists formed in 1965 to oppose the war.<br /> <br /> King's opposition to the Vietnam War generated significant debate within the Civil Rights Movement and American political life. Many supporters of civil rights legislation worried that criticism of U.S. foreign policy might weaken political alliances necessary to advance domestic reform. Nevertheless King continued to link the war to broader questions of global inequality and American political responsibility. The speeches included in this publication were delivered in the months immediately preceding his assassination in April 1968 and therefore represent some of his final public statements on international policy and social justice. Minor foxing present along the margins of the cover; interior text remains clean. Overall condition very good. unknown
1968209201968. King Jr. Martin Luther. Conscience for Change published in 1968 presents a series of lectures delivered by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Toronto during the final year of his life. The lectures form part of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Massey Lectures series and address several central political and moral questions of the late 1960s including the struggle for civil rights in the United States the growing opposition to the Vietnam War the role of youth activism and the philosophy of nonviolent social transformation. Delivered in 1967 and published shortly before King's assassination in April 1968 the lectures provide insight into his evolving political thought during the later phase of the Civil Rights Movement.<br /> <br /> King Jr. Martin Luther. Conscience for Change: Massey Lectures 1967. Toronto: CBC Publications 1968. First edition second printing. The volume contains five lectures originally broadcast by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in which King examines the moral foundations of nonviolent protest and the broader struggle for racial equality. The lectures also articulate King's increasingly public opposition to the Vietnam War and his criticism of arguments used to justify American military involvement. The text presents King's reflections on the responsibilities of younger generations within social movements and the ethical obligations of democratic societies confronting injustice.<br /> <br /> The Massey Lectures series brought prominent intellectual and political voices to Canadian audiences and King's participation reflected the international significance of the Civil Rights Movement during the 1960s. By the time these lectures were delivered King had expanded his activism beyond the fight against segregation to include criticism of militarism and economic inequality. The publication therefore captures a late stage in King's intellectual development when his public statements increasingly connected civil rights peace activism and global questions of social justice. Paperback volume measuring approximately 8 × 5 inches. 46 pages. Original printed wrappers. Light handling wear with a previous owner's name on the inside front cover. Very good condition overall and a concise printed record of King's late reflections on civil rights war and nonviolent change. unknown

1965178461965. King Jr. Martin Luther. Original silver gelatin press photograph 1965 depicting Dr. King addressing a large crowd of demonstrators at the conclusion of the Selma to Montgomery march one of the pivotal public actions of the modern Civil Rights Movement. The march formed part of a coordinated campaign to secure federal protection of Black voting rights in the South culminating in the 54 mile procession from Selma to the Alabama state capital between March 21 and March 25 1965. Organized in response to violent suppression of earlier demonstrations including the events of "Bloody Sunday" the march became a catalyst for passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The image captures King in the act of public address visually embodying the convergence of grassroots protest media coverage and federal legislative transformation that defined the movement's mid decade phase.<br /> <br /> King Jr. Martin Luther. Press photograph. No place 1965. Silver gelatin print approximately 6.5 x 4.5 inches black and white with light ink stamp on verso and handwritten notation "Secola - 4 Colonne."<br /> <br /> As a press photograph produced for editorial circulation the print reflects the essential role of photojournalism in shaping national and international perception of civil rights activism.

CAT0103Washington D.C. 1970. 3 pp. stapled mimeograph program for a service commemorating King’s birthday at The Washington Cathedral January 15 1970. Stapled together with a 1 pp. letter from Bishop Henry C. Bunton to the Interreligious Committee on Race Relations ICRR notifying members of the event and including a 1 pp. copy of the minutes from the ICRR board meeting on January 7 1970 at which the details were agreed upon and a 1 pp. announcement for the event. Program worn at corners two bent; letters originally folded creases beginning to split. Overall good. The first observance of King’s birthday was sponsored by the newly created King Memorial Center in Atlanta in 1969 only eight months after his death. In its “Making of the King Holiday†chronology the Center describes this service as “the model for subsequent annual commemorations of Dr. King’s birthday nationwide setting the tone of celebration of Dr. King’s life education in his teachings and nonviolent action to carry forward his unfinished work.†<br /> <br /> Scarce documentation exists for this event the second observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday following his assassination. The Interreligious Committee on Race Relations ICRR organized the event. The ICRR was established in June 1963 by leaders from Protestant Catholic and Jewish congregations in Washington D.C. One of its first goals was to support the passage of the Civil Rights Act which was then being debated in Congress. Its larger mission was to end racial discrimination particularly in public housing and employment and to foster communication between black and white communities in D.C. <br /> <br /> Few other early commemorations are documented; this mimeographed program and the ICRR meeting minutes reveal the significant evolution of the idea of a public holiday to celebrate King’s life. Speakers at The Washington Cathedral included Mayor Walter E. Washington and the civil rights leaders Rev. Walter E. Fauntroy and Bishop Henry C. Bunton. The ceremony also incorporated King’s “I Have a Dream†speech. A press release indicates how businesses schools and the D.C. government were already working together to initiate commemorative programs and “follow a liberal leave policy†for employees wishing to take the day off. The characteristic interfaith and interracial community celebrations and “teach-ins†that we know today were already essential components of commemoration for King in 1970. This program took place thirteen years before the federal holiday was finally signed into law. <br /> <br /> 3 pp. stapled mimeograph program for a service commemorating King’s birthday at The Washington Cathedral January 15 1970.

1907kz307NY: The Century Co. 1907. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. Signed by Authors. 1st Edition. 1907 1st edition 1st printing. Inscribed by Luther Burbank- superstar botanist American plant breeder pioneer of agricultural science. Beginning in 1880s Luther Burbank developed 800 strains and varieties of plants during his 55-year career. Burbank gained fame by saving U.S. potato crops from the deadly blight through cultivating russet potatoes-- thus cementing public opinion of Luther Burbank as a major influence in American botany horticulture and agricultural science. Burbank's plant studies led him to become a major and influential proponent of Eugenics the dominant social philosophy of the Western world in 19th to mid-20th century-- advocates included American President Woodrow Wilson & birth-control activist Margaret Sanger. "The Training of the Human Plant" is a highly readable book of Luther Burbank's views on Eugenics and how best to raise children into capable healthy adults. Burbank's experiences in horticulture and agriculture led him to consider raising kids the same way we tend and treat plants to grow big and strong-- in a poetic closing Burbank asked to "set our children free to thrive in nature".

Octavo original printed brown and cream paper wrappers. $1100.First edition of the first surgeon general's report on the connection between smoking and cancer accompanied by a printed presentation letter from Surgeon General Luther L. Terry.""On June 7 1962 recently appointed Surgeon General Luther L. Terry announced that he would convene a committee of experts to conduct a comprehensive review of the scientific literature on the smoking question. Terry invited representatives of the four voluntary medical organizations who had first proposed the commission as well as the Food and Drug Administration the Federal Trade Commission the American Medical Association and the Tobacco Institute the lobbying arm of the tobacco industry to nominate commission members. Ten were finally chosen representing a wide swath of disciplines in medicine surgery pharmacology and statistics though none in psychology or the social sciences. Candidates qualified only if they had taken no previous stand on tobacco use. Meeting at the National Library of Medicine on the campus of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda Maryland from November 1962 through January 1964 the committee reviewed more than 7000 scientific articles with the help of over 150 consultants. Terry issued the commission's report on January 11 1964 choosing a Saturday to minimize the effect on the stock market and to maximize coverage in the Sunday papers. As Terry remembered the event two decades later the report ""hit the country like a bombshell. It was front page news and a lead story on every radio and television station in the United States and many abroad. The report highlighted the deleterious health consequences of tobacco use. Smoking and Health: Report of the Advisory Committee to the Surgeon General held cigarette smoking responsible for a 70 percent increase in the mortality rate of smokers over non-smokers"" National Library of Medicine. The report specifically named lung cancer cardiovascular disease emphysema and several other ailments as risks of smoking. It also mentioned concerns about underweight and premature babies born to smoking mothers. By 1968 over three-quarters of Americans had been convinced that smoking caused cancer. As a result rates of smoking dropped over the following decades permanently altering the place of the tobacco industry in American life and culture. With a laid-in printed presentation letter from the surgeon general addressed ""Dear Doctor"" inviting the recipient to read the book and anticipating his or her ""particular concern"" as a physician.
