Grown Deep: Essays on the Harlem Renaissance [Signed with Ephemera Laid-in]

Zustand: Very Good +. First Edition. Winter Park, FL: FOUR-G Publishers, 1998. First Edition. Paperback octavo (21cm); publisher's wraps with $12.95 price intact at rear; 150pp. Waps lightly rubbed. Binding sound. Textblock a touch foxed; endsheets and interior pages clean. Bar code sticker affixed to rear panel. Very Good or better copy of this scarce Black Studies title with unique DC ephemera. Signed and briefly inscribed "For [Lectie?] / with best wishes and fond memories / Richard A. Long" at half-title page. Laid-in at front are two pieces of ephemera - the first, a staple-bound booklet for a lecture Long delivered at Howard University in 1999. Grown Deep provided the basis for the talk, which was part of the school's Charles Eaton Burch Memorial Lecture series. The second, seemingly unrelated to the book or lecture, is an invitation to the "Dedication of an Exhibit Honoring the Life and Achievements of Mary Church Terrell," dated 2003. Terrell was an activist for racial equality and suffrage who spent much of her adulthood in DC, where she taught at Paul Laurence Dunbar High School and co-founded the National Association of Colored Women. The event occurred at Terrell Place, a one-time department store whose cafeterias Terrell successfully integrated while serving as chairman of the city's Coordinating Committee for the Enforcement of Anti-Discrimination Laws. Booklet faded at edges and creased widthwise due to previous folding; invitation smudged. Signed. Artikel-Nr. 49566
