Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine dj. Illustrated by (dj design) Richard L. Aquan (illustrator). First Edition. [sharp-looking copy, virtually as-new but for the teensiest bumping of the top corners; jacket similarly nice, with just a touch of crinkling at the spine ends]. (B&W photographs) INSCRIBED ("To Mom + Dad / congratulations on your 54th") and SIGNED by both authors on the title page (the inscription itself and Ossie's signature in black ink; Ruby's signature and an added date (10/28/98) in green ink). Joint memoir of the two great African-American actors and activists, who married in 1948 and frequently performed together until Davis's death in 2005. The book is structured as a kind of dual oral history, with each narrating parts of their story in turn. (The "Mom + Dad" to whom the book is inscribed are unknown, but since Ossie was 80 and Ruby was 76 when the book was published, we can be certain that it wasn't directed at either of their own parents; likely it was inscribed in this fashion upon request, for presentation as a gift to another party.) Signed by All Authors.

An appealing cache of works owned and annotated by Dee and Davis, one of the most revered couples of the American stage. Three of the books are scholarly works on race by Black authors published in the midst of the civil rights movement, in which Dee and Davis were leading figures. The marks of their reading demonstrate interest in the life of the Jamaican activist Marcus Garvey; the ways in which family life and romantic relationships are impacted by racial oppression; and the speeches of some of the greatest Black American orators. The collection is comprised of the following works: Edmund Cronon, Black Moses, The Story of Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association (1962). First edition, second printing, with Dee & Davis's ownership signature (in Dee's hand) on the front pastedown and underlining and marginal lining to 52 pages. Later in his life, Davis narrated the documentary Marcus Garvey: Toward Black Nationhood (2003). Roy L. Hill, Rhetoric of Racial Revolt (1964). First edition, presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "For Mrs. O. Davis, with regards, I am sincerely Roy L. Hill". There are brief annotations on pages 82 and 374 and sticky notes or scraps of paper used to mark Frederick Douglass's "Speech at Faneuil Hall", Martin Luther King's "Love, Law, and Civil Disobedience", and Booker T. Washington's "Atlanta Exposition Address"; Washington's address is marked by three small leaves of manuscript notes on a creative project, possibly a film. William H. Grier and Price M.
