A good only copy with significant association. Housed in a custome folding case. J. Max Barber was an African American civil rights activist and educator who with Du Bois and others founded the short-lived, but influential Niagara Movement in 1905. Led by Du Bois the group was named after the location of its first meeting, which took place at Niagara Falls, and its members included prominent figures such as Ida B. Wells, Mary Church Terrell, and William Monroe Trotter. A precursor to the modern Civil Rights Movement, it laid the foundation for many of the strategies and tactics used in the struggle for racial justice in the decades that followed, going against what they saw as the more conservative tactic of Booker T. Washington and his allies. Barber, later on, was editor of 'Crisis magazine and president of the NAACP Philadelphia branch from 1919 to 1921. He would also go on to become the president of the John Brown Memorial Society and continue to publish articles on racial injustice and inequality in Abbott's Monthly between 1930 and 1933. As Barber focused more on his professional dental practice later in, his involvement in social movements became less frequent, and who he isn't as widely known as one of the stars of the early civil rights movement, there's no doubt that his place was of utmost importance as any others from the time.

In 1899, W.E. Burghardt Du Bois (1868 Ð 1963) published The Philadelphia Negro, his first major study of Black life in the United States. The monumental study was the result of over eight hundred hours of interviews in 2,500 households in PhiladelphiaÕs seventh ward. Du BoisÕ work in Philadelphia Òprefigured much of the politically engaged scholarship that Du Bois pursued in the years that followed andÉreflected the two main strands of his intellectual engagement during this formative period: the scientific study of the so-called Negro Problem and the appropriate political responses to it,Ó (ANB). After completing the Philadelphia study and a study of southern Black life in Farmville, Virginia, Du Bois began teaching sociology and directing research at Atlanta University. He published the hugely influential collection of essays The Souls of Black Folk (1903) while at Atlanta, which brought Du Bois to the forefront of revolutionary Black scholarship in the United States. In 1910, Du Bois left Atlanta to join the NAACP as an officer, its only Black board member, and to edit its monthly magazine, theÊCrisis. By the publication of the present work, Du Bois was enmeshed in the study of Pan-Africanism, Marxism, and the colonization of Africa, and had begun to publish more radical contributions in the Crisis. Octavo. 349 pp. PublisherÕs blue cloth titled in gilt. Binding is bright and attractive aside from some slight darkening to spine and minor rubbing to corners. Minor marginal toning. A fresh, near-fine copy of a historical work that detailed the contributions of Black people to the United States from the first colonies to the present. First edition. Part of the Knights of Columbus Racial Contribution Series. The present work marks the midpoint of Du BoisÕ career as a sociologist, historian, and activist. It is a precursor to Du BoisÕ most important historical work, Black Reconstruction in America: An Essay toward a History of the Part Which Black Folk Played in the Attempt to Reconstruct Democracy in America, which he published in 1935. The Gift of Black Folk also includes a lengthy chapter on Black soldiers, which reflects Du BoisÕ advocacy during World War I. He fought for officer training for Black soldiers, and, in 1919, launched an NAACP investigation into charges of discrimination against Black troops in Europe. Another chapter, ÒThe Freedom of Womanhood,Ó explores Òhow the black woman from her low estate not only united two great human races but helped lift herself and all women to economic independence and self expression,Ó (p. 259). The present work both reflects Du BoisÕ early-career sociological studies of Black American life and anticipates his major historical works, including Black Reconstruction in America as well as The World and Africa: An Inquiry into the Part Which Africa Has Played in World HistoryÊ(1947). See American National Biography.

Spine lettering dull, faint tidemark on the foredge and in the bottom margins of the pages, very good lacking the rare dustwrapper. Artist Meta Warrick Fuller and her husband Dr. Solomon Fuller's copy with contemporary ink inscription very likely in the hand of Meta Warrick Fuller: "Dr. & Mrs. S. C. Fuller. Warren Road, Framingham, Mass." Meta Warrick Fuller and her husband Dr. Fuller, were friends of Du Bois and they are mentioned by him in this book, as African-Americans who have contributed to "the Making of America" (p. 315-316). In addition to the ink ownership inscription of the Fuller's on the front pastedown, the book also has a few pencil scorings in the text in Meta's hand. Meta Warrick was a sculptor, "one of the most important precursors of the Harlem Renaissance" [Driskell, *Harlem Renaissance: Art of Black America,* , p. 25]. She trained at the Pennsylvania Museum and School for Industrial Arts, and studied with Rodin in Paris, who proclaimed her "a born sculptor." Benjamin Brawley described her as one of the first artists to explore "the tragedy of the Negro race in the New World" [Driskell, p. 27]. She is considered by some to be the first African-American woman professional artist, and in 1907 she was the first African-American woman to receive a Federal commission for her art. "By the early 1920's Fuller had become one of the preeminent black artists of her time. As her principle advocate and close family friend, Du Bois sought out Fuller for the "America's Making Exposition." Her meeting with Du Bois is thought to have brought about a turning point in her career, by encouraging her to incorporate more African and African-American themes into her art. Du Bois commissioned her to do a piece to mark the 50th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, which led to her most famous sculpture, "Ethiopia Awakening." Her husband, Dr. Solomon Carter Fuller was the first recognized African-American psychiatrist. An important association copy of one of Du Bois's scarcest books, which was issued as a title in the Knights of Columbus Racial Contribution Series.
