Description:
New York: New York Times, 1968. Lewis Steel was a lawyer for the NAACP when he wrote this article for The New York Times Magazine in 1968. In the article he challenged the traditional view of the Supreme Court as a liberationist institution, arguing that it "was a white court which would protect the interests of white America in the maintenance of stable institutions. In essence, the Court considered the potential damage to white Americans resulting from the diminution of privilege as more critical than continued damage to the underprivileged." The article was seen as a shot across the bow of both the Court and the NAACP, and the NAACP Board summarily fired Steel. In defense of Steel, the entire NCAAP General Counsel's Office resigned in protest. Steel's article recast the civil rights struggle as one of racial power rather than race relationships. It was arguably one of the most important of the seminal writings for the legal theory we now call Critical Race Theory. This…

Description:
Indiannapolis: The Bobbs-Merrill Company, 1927. 316 pages. First edition, first state with "quacked" instead of "piped" on page 33. Dust jacket is second state with Crawford blurb on front panel. Julia Peterkin was the first southern novelist to win the Pulitzer Prize, which she was awarded for her novel Scarlet Sister Mary, published in the year after this one. That novel, like Black April--like most of her writing--was a realistic depiction of rural southern black culture without the demeaning stereotypes that typified literature of that era. A southern white woman who lived on a plantation, Peterkin was reviled by many for writing about the Black experience. In a letter to H. L. Mencken she related that her own son wanted her to write about "beautiful white men and women, not niggers." But, she lamented, "no beautiful white people live in my head." The book is in very good condition: clean and tight; cover has a few small color rubbed spots, light…

New York: Harper's Weekly, 1865. Slavery Abolished in the United States! 16 pages. Large folio (16 inches by 11 1/4 inches). Original complete issue of Harper's Weekly. Harper's Weekly was the most important American pictorial newspaper in the 19th century. Because the original wood engravings in virtually every issue are highly collectible, complete issues are becoming more difficult to obtain. The issue offered here focuses on the passage in Congress of the Thirteenth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution. The amendment outlawed all slavery in the United States. On the front cover is a large wood engraving showing the celebration of members of Congress and citizens in the gallery; the caption reads, "Scene in the House on the Passage of the Proposition to Amend the Constitution, January 31, 1865. On page 2 is an editorial lauding passage of the Amendment and excoriating the 56 Representatives who voted against it. This issue of Harper's Weekly is disbound from an annual…

Description:
Macon, Georgia: The J. W. Burke Company, 1928. 52 pages. 12mo (7" X 5 1/4"). Staple-bound pamphlet in red pictorial wraps. First edition. Collection of 3 short stories originally written for publication in magazines in Century Magazine. Evelyn Magruder De Jarnette (1841-1902) was the wife of a slaveholder who lived on at "Pine Forest," a plantation in Spotsylvania, Virginia. The stories in this collection as well as others that were published in the Atlantic Monthly and Frank Leslie's various magazines reflect the typical mythological view of Virginians at the time. In 1929 Mrs. De Jarnette's daughter described that viewpoint: "The hardship s after a cruel war and the faithfulness of the family servants served as a background for Mrs. DeJarnette's writings. She makes us live again, through the tender care of her black mammies, the feeling of deep understanding and devotion that existed between the white people of Virginia and their former slaves, and there…
