1959214441959. African American family photograph album late 1950s to 1960s documents domestic life interracial relationships and social networks in New York City during the Civil Rights era and provides direct visual evidence of everyday experience within Black urban communities at a moment of significant social change. The photographs record gatherings leisure and home environments alongside public street scenes capturing both private and public dimensions of life in mid century New York. The presence of interracial couples within intimate domestic settings situates the archive within evolving attitudes toward race and relationships during a period marked by legal segregation's dismantling and ongoing social resistance supporting research into African American history urban studies and the cultural history of the Civil Rights era.<br /> <br /> Approximately 107 black and white silver gelatin photographs many with date stamps from the late 1950s through the 1960s arranged in plastic sleeves most measuring approximately 5 x 3.5 inches. Images depict interior domestic scenes with family members gathered in furnished living rooms featuring mid century décor including televisions console stereos and framed artwork. Numerous photographs show interracial couples in relaxed poses dancing or attending house gatherings alongside children engaged in play and multigenerational family interaction. Music appears as a recurring element with records instruments and dancing featured prominently including one image showing a young woman dancing near a record player and a displayed album associated with jazz performance culture. Exterior scenes include New York City streets and transit locations such as the Dyckman Street subway platform with visible advertisements including Levy's rye bread and Seagram's 7 as well as campaign signage for judicial elections. Additional photographs depict waterfront transit commercial storefronts such as Buster Brown Shoes beach outings likely at Coney Island or Rockaway and suburban yard scenes suggesting leisure and possible residential mobility beyond the city.<br /> <br /> Produced during a period of expanding civil rights activism and cultural transformation these photographs document how African American families navigated urban life while building social and cultural spaces that extended across racial lines. The inclusion of interracial relationships within informal personal settings reflects changing social practices that were not always visible in public discourse while the emphasis on music dance and gathering highlights the role of cultural expression in community formation. Street imagery further situates the album within the commercial and political landscape of New York linking personal experience to broader urban change. As a cohesive archive the photographs provide a detailed record of family life social interaction and environment during a transformative period in American history. Minor wear to some prints with overall strong image clarity and preservation in sleeves; overall condition very good. unknown

This little tract containing a brief citation of the religious views customs and regulations of the "United Society of Believers" usually known as "Shakers" has been written with the hope of answering collectively the questions most frequently asked by strangers who from various motives seek information concerning us. Having been especially designed to enclose with letters brevity became a necessity. If after careful perusal the reader should desire further information upon particular points pertaining to our history life or religion we have pamphlets and tracts that treat these different subjects separately and larger publications giving fuller information. We kindly request those who receive any of these writings to circulate them among friends. Among the topics addressed are: Origin and Early History of the Shakers Organization Social Arrangements and Employments Hygiene Recreation Literature and Correspondence Form of Worship Concerning the Bible. The tract states that the Shakers have a "Parental form of government." The tract also states that "All correspondence will be subject to the examination and advice of the Elders." The United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing more commonly known as the Shakers are a millenarian nontrinitarian restorationist Christian sect founded circa 1747 in England and then organized in the United States in the 1780s. They were initially known as "Shaking Quakers" because of their ecstatic behavior during worship services. Espousing egalitarian ideals women took on spiritual leadership roles alongside men including founding leaders such as Jane Wardley Mother Ann Lee and Mother Lucy Wright. The Shakers emigrated from England and settled in Revolutionary colonial America with an initial settlement at Watervliet New York present-day Colonie in 1774. They practice a celibate and communal utopian lifestyle pacifism uniform charismatic worship and their model of equality of the sexes which they institutionalized in their society in the 1780s. They are also known for their simple living architecture technological innovation music and furniture. During the mid-19th century an Era of Manifestations resulted in a period of dances gift drawings and gift songs inspired by spiritual revelations. At its peak in the mid-19th century there were 2000-4000 Shaker believers living in 18 major communities and numerous smaller often short-lived communities. External and internal societal changes in the mid- and late-19th century resulted in the thinning of the Shaker community as members left or died with few converts to the faith to replace them. By 1920 there were only 12 Shaker communities remaining in the United States. As of 2019 there is only one active Shaker village: Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village in Maine. Consequently many of the other Shaker settlements are now museums. As pacifists the Shakers did not believe that it was acceptable to kill or harm others even in time of war. As a result the Civil War brought with it a strange time for the Shaker communities in America. Both Union and Confederate soldiers found their way to the Shaker communities. Shakers tended to sympathize with the Union but they did feed and care for both Union and Confederate soldiers. President Lincoln exempted Shaker males from military service and they became some of the first conscientious objectors in American history. North Family paperback
