Bookplate of Moorfield Storey on front endpaper. Signed on the dedication page: "Moorfield Story / July 18, 1877." (Howes L, 421). Moorfield Storey (1845-1929) was an American lawyer, civil rights leader, and anti-imperialist. He was the founding president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), serving from 1909 until his death. Storey was a staunch advocate for civil liberties and racial equality, working tirelessly to challenge segregation and disenfranchisement laws. He argued several significant cases before the Supreme Court, including Buchanan v. Warley in 1917, which struck down racial zoning laws. Additionally, Storey was a vocal opponent of American imperialism, criticizing U.S. policies in the Philippines following the Spanish-American War.
