192936266Munich: Bremer Presse 1929. Hardcover. Near Fine. Hardcover. 365 copies. This is a magnificent production from the famed Bremer Presse of Germany - probably their masterpiece. They published books from 1911 to 1939 interrupted only by World War I. It was founded by Willy Wiegand and like England's Doves Press rejected ornament except for splendid initials draw by Anna Simons and relied upon carefully chosen types and painstaking presswork to produce its limited edition hand printed books. The colophon states that this edition was printed to commemorate the 400 year anniversary of the publication of Martin Luther's German bible. The text was based on the editions published in 1545 and 1546. The Bible German: Lutherbibel was the first German language Bible translation from Latin sources. The New Testament was first published in September 1522 and the complete Bible containing the Old and New Testaments with Apocrypha in 1534. Luther continued to make improvements to the text until 1545. The five volumes are: Die Bucher Mose; Teil des Alten Testaments; Teil des Alten Testaments; Die Propheten; Das Neue Testament. Each volume has a different copy number. They are bound uniformly in blue paper boards with linen spines with the title written in calligraphy. The volumes are housed in gray paper board slipcases. In near fine condition in very good slipcases. Measures 10 x 14 inches. Unpaginated each volume about 250-300 pages PRI/011623. Bremer Presse hardcover

19675899Chicago and New Orleans: September 1967. 21 leaves illustrated with ninety-nine photographs mostly black-and-white but some in color. All ninety-nine images with a printed caption in the margin reading "Sep 67."Square folio. Contemporary red leatherette stamped in gilt on front cover string tied. Minor wear some images loose. Very good. An important photographic record of a notable moment in the interplay between the Civil Rights Movement the Black Power Movement and 1960s white liberalism documenting the 1967 National Conference on New Politics NCNP in Chicago. Simon Hall in his 2003 article in Journal of American Studies entitled "On the Trail of the Panther: Black Power and the 1967 Convention of the National Conference for New Politics" described the event as "one of the most ambitious attempts to forge a broad political alliance of antiwar organizations New Left insurgents and the radical wing of the Civil Rights Movement in 1960s America." The album is captioned on the inside front cover: "The National Conference on New Politics Aug. 31 - Sept. 4 1967 Palmer House Chicago." Seventy-five images document the conference many captioned on the album leaves identifying speakers attendees and settings or providing commentary.<br /> <br /> Chief among the delegates to the conference was Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who delivered the keynote address on the first night. The title of the speech was "The Three Evils of Society" which King defined as “the sickness of racism excessive materialism and militarism.†The present album includes five candid shots of King from that night. These include four shots of King at the microphones during his keynote address three with captions that read "There are no communists at this conference" "I am not a member of 60 communist fronts" and "We do not believe in violence but rather civil disobedience on a vaster scale than ever before" respectively. The fourth photograph of King shows him sitting with Ralph Abernathy and Michael Wood this image captioned "Center: Michael Wood of the Nat'l Student Assn who blew the whistle on the CIA."<br /> <br /> In addition to the photographs of Dr. King the album includes dozens of candid shots of conference participants that reads like a who's-who of civil rights and Black Power activists of the moment including members of SCLC SNCC CORE and the Black Panthers. These portraits memorialize the conference participation of Julian Bond Dick Gregory Ralph Abernathy one of which catches him sleeping during King's speech and is humorously captioned "The alert audience of ML King" Hunter Pitts "Jack" O'Dell Floyd McKissick James Foreman Lois Allen Vietnam War protester Private Ronald Lockman and a woman from the "Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party" who appears to be Victoria Jackson Gray Adams.<br /> <br /> The album also pictures white members of the New Left or sympathetic supporters of the civil rights movement such as Dr. Benjamin Spock Dr. Donna Allen Women's Strike for Peace Simon Casady influential California Democrat William Pepper Executive Secretary of NCNP Clark Kissinger National Secretary of the Students for a Democratic Society and Robert Scheer publisher of the radical Ramparts magazine. The album also includes some shots of other unnamed notables and additional attendees views from the main conference floor a display of posters featuring "Heroes of the National Liberation Movement" such as Che Guevara Malcolm X and Stokely Carmichael and book displays by vendors such as the Progressive Labor Party Marxist publisher Lou Diskin CADRE Chicago Area Draft Resistors and the Student Mobilization Committee.<br /> <br /> An additional twenty-four color images picture H. Rap Brown Jamil Abdulla al-Amin and various scenes in New Orleans during Brown's trial for weapons charges in September 1967. Brown was a fiery activist who was that time serving as the fifth chairman of SNCC a post he held from May 1967 to June 1968. Incongruously Brown was a controversial head of SNCC for his constant calls for violent political action and even served a dual role as the head of SNCC and as Minister of Justice for the Black Panther Party in 1968. The first page of images featuring Brown in the present album is captioned: "Rap Brown in New Orleans. Arraigned on carrying a weapon in interstate while under criminal indictment in Maryland for inciting to riot & arson" referring to the riot in Cambridge Maryland earlier that summer. Seventeen of these images show Brown and his lawyers talking to reporters outside the courthouse then continuing to do so as Brown walks down the street and gets into a car. Seven of the images show various street scenes around New Orleans. Brown's trial was going on at the same time as the National Conference in Chicago. As such a handful of the latter images show James Foreman of SNCC who according to the manuscript caption "spoke for H. Rap Brown" at the conference. At the time Foreman was the International Affairs Director for SNCC.<br /> <br /> The conference was an odd combination of white liberals Civil Rights legends and Black Power advocates which according to a contemporary source "brought black militants and much of the white left into occasional dialogue and frequent chaos." A retrospective "This Week in History" piece in the Chicago Sun Times in 2021 set the scene of the conference and detailed Dr. King's keynote speech: "A haven for liberal politicians and supporters the National Conference for New Politics took place over Labor Day weekend in 1967. The Chicago Sun-Times extensively covered the conference where politicos activists and anti-war advocates mixed and mingled to excite their base and prepare for the upcoming election season. The highlight of the convention came on Aug. 31 when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. took to the stage to deliver the keynote address to 4000 people at the Chicago Coliseum. 'The promise of a Great Society has been shipwrecked off the coast of Asia on the dreadful pinnacle of Vietnam' he told conference-goers. The war he said 'has torn up the Geneva agreement seriously impaired the United Nations exacerbated the hatreds between continents and worse still between races: it has frustrated our development at home.If the will of the people continues to be unheeded all men of good will must create a situation in which the 1967-68 elections are made a referendum on the war' he said. 'The American people must have an opportunity to vote into oblivion those who cannot detach themselves from militarism.' King’s speech touched on more than the Vietnam War. He called for a national employment agency noting that capitalism 'was built on the exploitation and suffering of Black slaves and continues to thrive on the exploitation of the poor -- both Black and white -- both here and abroad.' The activist referred to racism as 'that corrosive evil that will bring down the curtain on Western civilization.' King received a standing ovation after his speech. September unknown
19633073<p>9 x 6 inches. 151pp including wrappers. Stapled white self-wrappers printed in grey. Faint dampstain near spine foot and to gutter of outside leaves; light wear to edges; vertical crease throughout. About Very Good.</p><p>The second printing of this edition issued in June 1963 and with the corresponding notation printed on back cover "No. 589A -- 30M -- 6-63 -- G.B. / First Printed 5-63 -- 50M"; this edition known as the first separate edition was preceded by the much scarcer mimeographed edition.</p><p>Written in April 1963 while King was incarcerated and in solitary confinement for leading nonviolent protests in Birmingham against the city's segregationist policies the letter quickly became a major text of the Civil Rights movement. It refutes the position of eight of the city's white clergymen who together penned an open letter published in the local newspaper titled "A Call for Unity" in which they argued that Civil Rights activists should cease their "unwise and untimely" demonstrations and instead seek to achieve their aims through negotation and the courts. In his response King immediately addresses these arguments in his letter including his role as a perceived "outside agitator" and lays out the four steps of nonviolent campaigns. As he notes in now famous words "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable netword of mutuality tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed. Frankly I have never yet engaged in a direct action movement that was 'well timed' according to the timetable of those who have not suffered unduly from the disease of segregation. For years now I have heard the word 'Wait!' It rings in the ear of every Negro with a piercing familiarity. This 'wait' has almost always meant 'never.'"</p><p>A seminal text of the Civil Rights movement that remains important today.</p> American Friends Service Committee

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.

19314309New York: Samuel French 1931. Hard Cover. Very Good binding. Octavo. 8 308 pp. Third printing. Issued in gray/green cloth that has faded fairly evenly to light brown; titled in gold on the front cover and spine; a nice copy with light shelfwear only. A fantastic presentation copy inscribed by actor and playwright Luther Adler to actor Frances Farmer on behalf of The Group Group Theatre a New York based theater collective that included such luminaries as Lee Strasberg Elia Kazan Cheryl Crawford Sidney Lumet Anna Sokolow Clifford Odets and Paul Green the author of this present collection of plays. November 4 1937 at the Belasco Theatre Adler and Farmer co-starred in one of Group Theatre's more successful Broadway productions Odets's "Golden Boy." That production opened a few months after this book was inscribed August 1937; one might surmise that it was a gift from Adler to Farmer thanking her for agreeing to be involved. While it was a short-lived collective 1931-1941 Group Theatre had a lasting impact and its members—during and after—went on to help shape American theater and film. Samuel French unknown
