Sobre este artículo
(New York: Masses & Mainstream, 1952. Softcover. Very Good. First edition. With Comment by Shirley Graham. Octavo. 192pp. Pictorial wrappers lettered in white. Tape reinforced covers and front cover tear reinforced on the verso, a dime-sized stain on front wrap, thus good or a little better and presentable copy. A presentation copy, Inscribed: "For Paul Robeson, W. E. B. Du Bois" on the half-title page.
This volume tells the story of the indictment of Du Bois and four codefendants as unregistered foreign agents of the Soviet Union, and described his arraignment and fingerprinting in February 1951, his trial that November, and his eventual acquittal, with Albert Einstein outspoken in his support. Despite many frightened sponsors withdrawing from Du Bois's 83rd birthday celebration in February, both Paul Robeson and E. Franklin Frazier "spoke courageously and feelingly" at the milestone event.
Additionally laid in are printed and written invitations for a reception given by "The Legation of the Hungarian People's Republic".
An extraordinary presentation copy, linking two of the most influential civil rights leaders of the 20th century, we haven't seen any other books inscribed by Du Bois to Robeson on the market.
