Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Octavo, blue boards and black cloth lettered in silver; pictorial dust jacket. First edition. Louise Meriwether's copy, with her ownership signature on the half-title page and numerous annotations, several of which refer to "mood ebony" and W.E.B. Du Bois's writings regarding the "co…lor line" ----- Acclaimed author and tireless activist, Meriwether earned a permanent place among literati whose writings reassess the African American experience. During the 1960s, in Louisiana, Meriwether worked with the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), where Farmer served as the program director; back in New York she was instrumental in keeping Muhamad Ali, then world's heavyweight champion, from fighting in South Africa and breaking a cultural boycott. A wonderful association copy linking two of the enduring civil rights activists of the era. Signed by Author(s).

Contact seller5-star sellerdj. First printing. Inscribed first edition of this first book by the National Director of CORE, association copy to activist and political scientist Charles V. Hamilton, with his notes and marginalia throughout. As co-founder (1942) and eventual director (1961) of the Congress Of Racial Equity - and through its ethos of nonviol…ence, later championed by Martin Luther King jr. - Farmer was instrumental in pioneering what would become some of the Civil Rights movement's most high-profile actions, including sit-ins, jail-ins, and Freedom Rides. Farmer was Program Director for the NAACP before ascending to CORE director, would eventually serve as assistant secretary of health, education, and welfare under Nixon and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Bill Clinton. Charles V. Hamilton co-authored the best-selling and enormously influential BLACK POWER: THE POLITICS OF LIBERATION IN AMERICA (1967) with Kwame Ture (formerly: Stokely Carmichael), a manifesto which would heavily inform the movement of the same name and functionally introduce the concept of "institutional racism." Hamilton's influence in the field of political science would continue through his long tenure as a professor at Columbia University. This copy benefits from his scholarly eye, as it contains considerable notes by Hamilton on the rear endpaper, with numbered references to specific pages and passages. An incredible association between two pivotal figures of the Civil Rights and Black Power movements. 8.5'' x 5.75''. Original quarter dark blue cloth, light blue paper boards, stamped in blue and silver to front board, silver-lettered spine. In original unclipped ($4.95) typographic jacket designed by S. Neil Fujita. Fore-edge machine deckle. Red topstain. xxiv, 200 pages. Inscribed by Farmer in blue ink on front fly leaf: "To Chuck, / a fine scholar, / and one of the few / guys around who / understands what's happening! / Jim Farmer." Hamilton's owner signature in blue ink to front fly leaf, with underlining and marginalia on a few leaves and substantial notes on rear paste down. Price struck through and re-priced in ink. Jacket moderately toned at margins and spine, couple small chips to spine, minor soil and rubbing. Book with light soil and rubbing, minor toning at edges. Overall sound. Very good plus in very good jacket. Signed.
