Title: African American Military History Integrated U.S. Army 17th Field Artillery Battalion NCO Academy Photographs Featuring Command Sergeant Major Barber ca 1960s to 1970s
Author: African American Troops in Vietnam
Seller: Max Rambod Inc. (United States)
Description: 1950. Barber, Command Sergeant Major. U.S. Army 17th Field Artillery Battalion photographs, circa 1960s to 1970s, document integrated military training and the advancement of an African American senior noncommissioned officer within the post-desegregation Army. The images center on activities at a Noncommissioned Officer Academy and within field environments, placing the archive within the period following the formal integration of the U.S. military and during the era of the Vietnam War. The repeated presence of Barber in both instructional and ceremonial contexts situates him within the upper ranks of enlisted leadership, documenting the visibility and authority of Black noncommissioned officers at a time when opportunities for advancement had only recently expanded following mid-twentieth-century reforms. Archive of 30 black and white silver gelatin photographs. United States, circa 1960s to 1970s. Photographs range in size from approximately 7 x 5 inches to 4 x 3 inches. Images depict integrated groups of soldiers within the 17th Field Artillery Battalion, known as "The Persuaders," engaged in training and daily activities. Scenes include artillery instruction, trench digging, weapons handling, camp life, chapel gatherings, and a graduation ceremony in which soldiers take an oath and pass a unit flag. Several photographs show Barber prominently, including moments that appear to document formal oath-taking or advancement within the noncommissioned officer structure. The photographs appear to have been taken across multiple locations, including a more rugged field setting and a separate academy environment. Following the desegregation of the U.S. armed forces in 1948, African American soldiers increasingly assumed leadership roles within enlisted ranks, particularly during the Cold War and Vietnam War periods. The position of Command Sergeant Major represents one of the highest enlisted leadership roles in the Army, responsible for discipline, training, and the welfare of soldiers. This archive provides visual evidence of integrated unit cohesion, professional training systems, and the presence of Black leadership within those structures. The combination of field exercises and formal ceremonies offers material for examining race, hierarchy, and institutional culture within the modern U.S. Army. Light wear consistent with handling; overall very good condition.

Title: Labor Agitator: the Story of Albert R. Parsons
Author: [ANARCHISM - HAYMARKET AFFAIR] CALMER, Alan; Lucy E. Parsons, fwd; Mitchell Siporin, illus
Seller: Lorne Bair Rare Books (United States)
Description: New York: International Publishers, 1937. First Edition. First printing. Octavo (20cm); pictorial card wrappers, 126pp; illus. Mild soild and age-darkening to covers, with diagonal crease to rear wrapper, else a tight, Very Good copy. Ink ex-libris of Pittsburgh writer and activist J. Ernest Wright (see note), who has also made a few inobtrusive marks in the text. A sympathetic biography of Albert Parsons and the Haymarket Martyrs, written by a communist fellow-traveler and published by the New York division of the Comintern-backed International Publishers. A classic Popular Front example of the CPUSA appropriating a key historical figure - in this case, an anarchist - whose political views would have been considered irreconcilable with Marxism just a few years earlier (and would again by the time of the Hitler-Stalin Pact in 1939). Includes a glowing foreword by Lucy E. Parsons, who by this time was well into her eighties, and five illustrations after original lithographs by Mitchell Siporin. This copy with ownership markings of Pittsburgh labor activist and author J. Ernest Wright, director of Pittsburgh's New Theatre and author of an important history of the city's African American community, which wasn't actually published until near fifty years after the author's death (The WPA History of the Negro in Pittsburgh: University of Pittsburgh Press, 2004).
