77642Small collection of material from African American writer and historian Lorraine Passovoy to the prominent collector Dion A. Stams revealing newly-discovered information about Chicago’s founder the Black fur trader Jean Baptiste Pointe du Sable circa 1745-1818.<br /> <br /> It is now well known that du Sable settled near the mouth of the Chicago River in the mid-1700s building a home and establishing a trading post there. But he was not recognized by the State of Illinois as the founder of Chicago until 1968.<br /> <br /> In one of the typed letters in this group Passovoy 1919-90 shares with Stams 1908-98 that a 1763 letter in the Illinois Historical Collections came to light which is likely “the earliest reference to one of the first settlers of Chicago the free Negro Bapstiste La Pointe du Sable.†In light of this she was reworking her articles about him as the new information revealed he “may have built his first piteau-a-terre trading post decades earlier than I thought.â€<br /> <br /> This collection also includes another half-page typed letter from Passovoy to Sams and copies of two letters from Sams to Passovoy.<br /> <br /> Other materials in this collection include:<br /> <br /> Two copies of Point Sable and Chicago 1778-80 1982 by Passovoy self-published<br /> <br /> Two copies of The Mysterious Coast Button 1979 by Passovoy published by Peradam Publishing House<br /> <br /> The Black Root: Documents of Point Sable and Chicago 1983 by Passovoy and fellow du Sable scholar Virginia Julien<br /> <br /> Typescript of The Tailor Who Altered History never published<br /> <br /> Typescript of Jeannot by Passovoy never published<br /> <br /> These materials evidently were in Stams’ personal collections and several bear his personal markings and bookplate. Passovoy’s papers are held within the Vivian G. Harsh Research Collection of Afro-American History and Literature at the Chicago Public Library. unknown

193017155Green Bay Wisconsin: ca. 1930s Card paper homemade three-ring binder. 9 in. x 11 in. . With over three dozen pages with fabric swatches sketches and small artworks including two paper weaving samples and a watercolor plus clippings from periodicals laid-in or laid down. Light creasing and wear to pages light occasional offsetting from fabric samples. A very good very robust example of an advanced course in textiles sewing and fashion that also reveals the Depression-era labor history of women in the garment industry. This portfolio represents all the skills a Depression-era woman would need to create her own garments and other textile goods: sewing dyeing and weaving; selecting the right fabrics from stores; repurposing discarded household items into tools to save money e.g. a cigar box into a loom; and much more. Periodical clippings of illustrations of women weaving in industrial and commercial settings indicate that students who completed this correspondence course would not only be able to produce textile goods for their own families but also find skilled employment in the garment industry.

19512784<p>New York: Masses & Mainstream Inc. 1951. First Edition First Printing. <br /><br />A theatre review by Lorraine Hansberry appears in this issue of Masses & Mainstream the cultural magazine of the Communist Party USA. Hansberry 1930-1965 wrote an enthusiastic review of William Branch's "A Medal for Willie" which the Committee for the Negro in the Arts presented at Harlem's Club Baron. <br /><br />The play concerns the mother of a young African-American who was killed in the Korean War. Willie's mother Mrs. Jackson was due to receive a medal from a general but she refuses to accept it calling out the racism and hypocrisy of Jim Crow America. "This is good" Hansberry writes in her review. "This is exciting and moving.Watching the play I experience the glorious feeling that perhaps now -- in our time -- the dream of a New Harlem Theatre shall be realized."</p><p>Although she points out a few flaws in the play she concludes her review writing: "But the play is a powerful indictment of Negro oppression. It has terrific impact. Don't miss it." <br /><br />This marks yet another appearance by Hansberry in Masses & Mainstream. The September 1950 issue contained her first published work the poem "Flag From a Kitchenette Window" published when she was "a twenty-year-old art student in Chicago." Another poem "Lynchsong" was published in July 1951.</p><p>Hansberry went on to write her most famous work "A Raisin in the Sun" a play about the struggles of a Black family in Chicago. It opened on Broadway in March 1959 and starred Sidney Poitier and Ruby Dee.</p><p>Besides Hansberry's review this issue contains excerpts from a novel by V.J. Jerome; Richard O. Boyer's appreciation of Pettis Perry an African-American who was a Communist Party official; labor news including an article by Howard Fast; drawings by Hugo Gellert; and more. <br /><br />This issue of Masses & Mainstream is rare. OCLC shows no institutional holdings. <br /><br />PHYSICAL DETAILS: Small Octavo 7 3/4 x 5 1/4 inches; 197 x 135 mm 64 pages in stapled printed wrappers soft cover. <br /><br />CONDITION: Some scattered stains and soiling.
