Near fine with the rear board a bit bowed and a touch of bumping at the corners. Inscribed by Murphy. A very uncommon title, an anthology of stories, taken from the pages of the *Afro-American*… newspaper in Baltimore, founded by former enslaved Civil War veteran John H. Murphy Sr. in 1897. Contributors include Ford, Faggett, Rudolph Fisher, Ollie Stewart, Ruth Johnson and many others. Carl Murphy took over as editor of the *Afro-American* in 1922. He was very active in the local Black community and served as president of the Baltimore branch of the NAACP, who with the help of Thurgood Marshall, forced the University of Maryland to open its law school to black students.
