About this Item
"Workers Quarterly" was published by The Walther League, a charitable organization funded under the aegis of the Lutheran Church. It worked hand-in-hand with other organizations to provide needed assistance and support for indigent peoples of the world. This is Volume 39, No. 1, titled "Hymns for Now, a Portfolio for Good, Bad, or Rotten Times", being a collection of 26 hymns and folk protest songs presented in an avant garde format. *************************************************** Typographically the book is unusual with the songs printed amidst a melange of words printed in various angles, backwards, up-side-down, in mirror image arranged within a collage-like assortment of photographic images of various peoples of different races and nationalities. The result is unusual and striking. The book was meant to be distributed and used as a vehicle to encourage works towards the betterment of people and communities, and to throw a light on injustice and inequality. Published in July of 1967, just 48 years ago, it is a relic from that era, which at times seems so far away . and at other moments, as if it had just happened. ********************************************* SERIES TITLE (PERIODICAL) : Workers' Quarterly / ISSUE : Volume 39, No. 1 / DATE : July 1967 / ISSUE TITLE : Hymns for Now (A Portfolio for Good, Bad, or Rotten times) / EDITOR : Dean Kell / IMPRINT : Walther League / PLACE : Chicago, Illinois / EDITION : Fourth Printing / STATUS : OP / PHYSICAL DETAILS : Tall, narrow book.
