See below for archive contents. A collection of materials relating to pioneering Black linguist, professor, and publisher Lorenzo Dow Turner, including several very scarce early issues of his short-lived newspaper; ephemera promoting the newspaper; the first yearbook of Howard University (his alma mater), inscribed to his mother; and a fine studio photograph of Turner as a young man, taken by noted Black photographer Arthur P. Bedou. These items evidently all once belonged to Turner's mother. Lorenzo Dow Turner (1890-1972) was born in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, the youngest son of Elizabeth Freeman and Rooks Turner. He graduated from Howard University in 1914, afterwards obtaining a Master's Degree and PhD from Harvard and the University of Chicago, respectively, and becoming head of the English Department at Howard. In 1928, university politics led him to leave the position, and, with his brother Arthur as the business manager, he established The Washington Sun. "Fearless, Aggressive, [and] Independent" (according to its byline), the paper was intended to "stimulate a wider and keener local interest in education, religion, and business.and.promote the civic welfare of the community" (Wade-Lewis, p. 55). The first issue appeared on September 6th, 1928, but the paper lasted only through January of 1929. The following summer, Turner accepted a temporary position at South Carolina State College at Orangeburg (now South Carolina State University), where he heard Gullah spoken for the first time by two of his students. After visiting their families on John's Island, Turner became convinced that Gullah was not, as scholars had previously supposed, merely "bad English" derived from the "baby talk" spoken by white masters to new slaves. In the fall of 1929 he accepted a position at Fisk University, where he would teach for the next sixteen years, found the first African Studies program in the country, and conduct extensive research on the African linguistic diaspora in the United States, England, Brazil, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Ghana, and elsewhere along the west coast of Africa. This work informed his groundbreaking 1949 study Africanisms in the Gullah Dialect, for which he is best known. From 1946 until his retirement in 1970, Turner taught at Roosevelt University in Chicago, and, in the 1960s, helped found a training program for Peace Corps volunteers to Africa, collaborated with the Encyclopedia Britannica Educational Corporation on filmstrips for classroom use, and consulted with two dictionaries as they attempted to better account for African languages and African American culture. He was elected to the Hall of Fame of Chicago in 1969, and on his death two years later he was mourned as "one of America's truly great linguistic scholars" (Chicago Daily Defender, February 10, 1972). ARCHIVE CONTENTS The Washington Sun. Washington, D.C., No. 1, September 8, 1928; No. 8, October 27, 1928; No. 11, November 17, 1928; No. 16, December 22, 1928. 21.5" x 17.75", 8 pp. CONDITION: Very good to good+, slight chipping and a few minor tears to margins, moderate chipping to central horizontal folds, with slight losses to text in the Nov. 17 edition. Published shortly after Turner was pushed out of his professorship at Howard University, and less than a year before he embarked on the landmark study that would establish the field of Gullah studies, The Washington Sun aimed "To Serve All The People All The Time," according to its motto. The Turner brothers garnered some early and important subscribers, including many of Lorenzo's former colleagues at Howard, and the "quality of the reporting was first-rate," with "News underscoring triumphs in the progress of African Americans grac[ing] the front page, along with details of defeats and tragedies. The coverage was local, national, and international. The multifold message to the black population, like that of other black newspapers, was: be a model American citizen, be proud of black accomplishments, be aware of the virulence of racism, work vigorously to advance both individual and group progress, and be politically active in order to foster change" (Wade-Lewis, p. 56). Topics covered in the four editions offered here include court cases and crimes (including a particularly brutal murder of a mother by her son), biographical sketches (including an interview with a pastor who had been enslaved until the age of fourteen), sports (for instance, "Hampton U Upsets Va. State, 16-0"), society and church news, the arts (including a piece on an honorary reception for Harlem Renaissance painter Laura Wheeling Waring), race relations ("Of unusual significance" being the National Interracial Conference, which took place in Washington D.C. in December of 1928), Black political success ("Five Negroes Will Go to the State Legislature in Illinois"), and more. Ads for beauty products, cafes, signmakers, cleaners, funeral services, shoe repair, upcoming plays and musicals, and so on appear throughout.
