19448121Norfolk Virginia: Guide Quality Press 1944. Good. 8 7/8†x 6â€. Stapled thin card wrappers. Pp. 46. Good due to large damp stain to every page; text is still legible and images still vivid. <br /> <br /> This is a detailed history concerning the participation of African Americans in the Revolutionary War. It was written by a noted Black educator author and civil rights activist Luther Porter Jackson. <br /> <br /> Luther Porter Jackson was born in Kentucky in 1892. He taught in Kansas and served as Director of the Academic Department at the South Carolina HBCU Voorhees College before accepting employment at Virginia State College. Founded in Petersburg in 1882 as the state's only institution of higher education for African Americans it is now Virginia State University. Jackson organized the school's History Department and served as Professor and Chairman for nearly 30 years. Together with his friend and mentor Carter G. Woodson Jackson was active with the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History ASNLH and wrote many articles for the Journal of Negro History. He helped establish the Petersburg League of Negro Voters a predecessor of the Virginia Voters League as well as the Petersburg Business League which became the Virginia Trade Association. He also worked with Thurgood Marshall to promote equal pay for Black and white teachers and challenged the segregation of public transit in Richmond. Jackson is noted for his Free Negro Labor and Property Holding in Virginia 1830–1860 1942 which challenged antebellum racial stereotypes and misconceptions. He also authored several works on lesser-known Black histories and activities such as The History of the Virginia State Teachers Association 1937; Religious Instruction of Negroes 1830 to 1860 with Special Reference to South Carolina 1930; and Negro Office-holders in Virginia 1865-1895 1945. He died in 1950. The Black Cultural Center at the University of Virginia and a Dendron Virginia middle school Per this work's preface it was “published and presented†to Virginia teachers “as a token of appreciation for their constant support†of the ASNLH. The author argued that “in a larger sense this publication is the property of all teachers of all schools and of the entire public. It should have wide circulation because the history of the Negro is but a cross section of the history of all people.†The book lists the names of 179 African Americans who served their country in the Revolutionary War. There are notes highlighting the efforts of about half of the servicemen as well as five essays which cover in detail the “exploits of four soldiers and seamen and those of one particular family.†The book includes a sketch of and facsimile of a writing by James Lafayette “spy to General Lafayette. Born a slave . . . died a free man.†There are also six photographic images of descendants of the soldiers four of whom are women. <br /> <br /> A compelling work documenting an under-studied aspect of Black history by an accomplished African American author and activist.

2281574Harper & Row 1963. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good. First edition stated with $3.50 price on jacket. Owner bookplate remnant on front endpaper reverse of jacket foxed jacket a bit rubbed. 1963 Hard Cover. x 2 146 2 pp. 8vo. King's second book a collection of sermons preaching the value of love and nonviolence and urging the sort of mutual understanding and respect King spoke about during his speeches as a civil right activist. "If there is one book Martin Luther King Jr. has written that people consistently tell me has changed their lives it is Strength to Love." So wrote Coretta Scott King. She continued: "I believe it is because this book best explains the central element of Martin Luther King Jr.' s philosophy of nonviolence: His belief in a divine loving presence that binds all life. By reaching into and beyond ourselves and tapping the transcendent moral ethic of love we shall overcome these evils." In these short meditative and sermonic pieces some of them composed in jails and all of them crafted during the tumultuous years of the Civil Rights struggle Dr. King articulated and espoused in a deeply personal compelling way his commitment to justice and to the intellectual moral and spiritual conversion that makes his work as much a blueprint today for Christian discipleship as it was then. Individual readers as well as church groups and students will find in this work a challenging yet energizing vision of God and redemptive love. Harper & Row hardcover books

196713328New York: Harper and Row 1967. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good /near fine. Octavo 207pp. A crisp clean copy very good or better in the publisher's yellow boards with black cloth spine. Some foxing to the top edge and the tops of the boards else tight sound and unmarked. In a near fine dust jacket a bit darkened on the spine with some isolated foxing to the verso some nicks to the top edge but otherwise fresh and bright. Apparently a review copy with a glossy promotional photograph of King by Bob Fitch for the SCLC laid in but no review slip or any other ephemera. The caption reads: "Author of 'Where Do We Go From Here' to be published by Harper & Row on June 19 1970." The photograph which depicts King standing at is modest desk with a portrait of Gandhi on the wall behind him was reproduced on the rear panel of the dust jacket. This was the last of four books published by King in his lifetime and outlines the more wide-ranging social progressivism that he hoped to spread using the momentum of the Civil Rights Movement most especially the eradication of poverty.

A typed letter signed Luther Burbank on his personalized letterhead. Burbank wrote about his writing projects and the recent loss of his cat. Dear Mrs. Ward: Thank you for note card and picture of you and your pet. You look very happy with the little doggie. We just lost a beautiful cat which seemed one of the family. All feel so badly that we can hardly bear to have another pet. It seemed to know everything that we said. I am sure it understood most of our conversation. Have been busy beyond expression in publishing twelve volumes of books besides my other business and really consider myself as my friends do the busiest man in the world. Perhaps we are mistaken but I never know of any one who improved his time better. We are looking over the splendid books which you sent me the other day and are having them numbered with the other books in my library and thought you would like to see one of the bookplates which I used so inclose sic one. Faithfully yours Luther Burbank. There is a handwritten note in pencil on the verso seemingly by the recipient. In very good condition. unknown
