Softcover. Condition: Very Good. Vol. IV, No. 12. Small octavo. 98pp. Stapled wrappers. Wrappers tanned with moderate wear and soil, a very good copy. A single but notable issue from this influential and important digest, which was the foundation of the Johnson Publishing empire. In addition to excerpting articles by and about African-Americans from other publications, there was also much original content written expressly for the magazine. This issue is especially notable for printing a "condensation" from Era Bell Thompsons's *American Daughter*, an important memoir of Black life in Iowa and North Dakota, later recognized for its excellence and republished in the Sixties. This issue also prints the recurring articles "How I Beat Jim Crow" and "If I Were an Negro," the former by Charles Clinton Spaulding (the longtime President of North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, at the time of publication the largest Black-owned business in America) and the latter by activist and author of *Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer* Saul Alinsky and further titled "Beware the Liberals." This issue also with a four-page insert bound in advertising the NEW *Negro Digest* in full color, as well as the articles "Who is a Negro? The Inside Story of Two Million Negroes Who Passed for White" by Herbert Asbury (condensed from *Collier's*); "A Southerner Looks at the South" by Hodding Carter (condensed from *The New York Times*); "Acid Test of America" by Clare Booth Luce (condensed from *Today's Woman*); "The Harlem Nobody Knows" by Bucklin Moon (condensed from *Glamour*); and the recurring article "My Favorite War Hero," this month penned by Herbert M. Frisby, who was a war correspondent for the *Baltimore Afro-American*. An important magazine; early issues are uncommon.
