First edition of this important Civil Rights-era anthology of African American writing published in 1966 by Harper & Row. Contributors include major figures such as Arna Bontemps, LeRoi Jones (Amiri Baraka), Melvin B. Tolson, Ossie Davis, Albert Murray, Saunders Redding, and Robert Bone. Edited and with an introduction by Herbert Hill. 8vo (6” x 8.5’), hardcover with printed dust jacket, 227 pages. Warmly inscribed by Hill on the front free endpaper: “For June—Who knows what it is to be found ‘Beyond Anger’—With Much Affection—Herbert,” dated March 1966. The recipient was June Shagaloff Alexander (1928-2022), pioneering NAACP educator and desegregation strategist who, as the organization's first National Director of Education, played a central role in implementing school integration following Brown v. Board of Education. Herbert Hill (1924-2004), for decades the NAACP's Labor Secretary, was one of the organization's leading advocates for racial equality in organized labor.
Light bumping and rubbing to dust jacket. A significant association copy linking two major figures in the postwar NAACP.
