Contact seller5-star sellerCondition: Good. Second Edition. Second edition. Bound in publisher's original blue stapled wraps printed in darker blue. Good. Tear at bottom edge of front cover repaired with tape, and creasing throughout. An African American civil rights advocate and trade unionist. In his more than 40 years as a clerk in the Detroit post off…ice, he employed his low-key strategies to improve working conditions for his fellow workers. He once told a reporter about how he got the postmaster to let blacks work at the counter windows. "During the '20s, they wouldn't even let Negroes work at the window selling stamps. I asked the postmaster, and his answer was that white people would not stand for buying stamps from Negroes," Grigsby recalled. "I told him the post office had a monopoly on selling stamps, and I said if [whites] don't buy them at the post office, where are they going to buy them?".
