Description
Riverside, CA: The A to Z Printing Company, 2005. First edition. 4to, 147pp. Illustrated with black and white photos throughout. Gilt stamped red morocco, the binder's copy. Fine condition. The first book publication of the Riverside African American Historical Society, being a chronological overview of African American migration into Riverside beginning in 1893.  Includes noteworthy events and figures from economics, politics, sports, education, etc., with many contributors writing for the publication.   Dr. Lulamae Clemons (1917-2022) was a prominent civil rights leader and educator in the area, leading the Title IV School Desegregation Project in the 1960s.  She was also instrumental in securing the Martin Luther King Jr. statue which now stands on the Main Street Pedestrian Mall in Riverside.   This copy, from the binder Mel Kavin, is perhaps unique.  OCLC cites a publication under the same title and with fewer pages, though being noted as an issue of the Journal of the Riverside African American Historical society from 2007-8.  In any event, an important and recent history which does not seem to be readily available.  .
