Hard to believe this is from 50 years ago, as I type this on May 30, 2021, almost to the day.
In addition to an article titled, "A New Breed - The Militant N*gro in the South" with quotes from Dr. King and other founding members of the civil rights movement, there is also a story about the Freedom Riders. Additionally, and this is why I *love* reading these magazine, buried on pages 47 and 48 is the story about the birth of Apartheid in hotsell South Africa, "A Time for Fear."
As we continue to evolve as a country, reading a magazine like this offers an invaluable insight into where we've come. Simply a fascinating magazine.
If you've been coming to our shop, then you know that I like to share links for what the general "marketplace" value of something. In this case, I couldn't find an issue of this magazine for sale anywhere. There was a picture of it on Pintrest, and that was it. A part of me doesn't want to let this one go, but I've read it. And as I do with all our treasures, I hope it finds its way into the hands of someone who will appreciate and be as moved by these articles as I was.
This is a well-cared for but vintage magazine. Please review the attached pictures; they are the best judge of the quality. No pages are missing. And the magazine has not been despined.
