Octavo, softcover, fine in black and white pictorial wraps. Giftable. Frank Marshall Davis (1905-1987) was a central figure in the black press, working as reporter and editor for the "Atlanta World," the "Associated Negro Press," the "Chicago Star," and the "Honolulu Record." "Writings of Frank Marshall Davis" presents a selection of Davis's nonfiction, providing an unprecedented insight into one journalist's ability to reset the terms of public conversation and frame the news to open up debate among African Americans and all Americans.
