About This Item
Detroit, Michigan: The H. O'Reilly Clint Co, 1930. Very good. 12¼" x 9¼". Sheet music. Pp. 6. Very good with moderate wear and light dust soiling.
This is the sheet music for a composition "dedicated to the Booker T. Washington Memorial, Detroit, Mich." It features a full page illustrated image of Washington as well as striking cover art of "Lifting the Veil of Ignorance," a statue of Washington created by Charles Keck in the 1920s and which is on the grounds of Tuskegee Institute.
We were unable to find any information about the music/lyrics or about the Booker T. Washington Memorial in Detroit for which it was composed, save one Detroit newspaper article found online that mentioned the "tiny Booker T. Washington Memorial Park, started in the 1920s by a group of Black lawyers."
Rare documentation of a possibly lost memorial to Washington, coupled with previously unknown uplift music. A ghost of a project, with OCLC locating no copies; no mentions in numerous variants of Google searches, nor on newspapers.com.
