One of the woodcuts on colored stock has been separated at inner margin but is still present. Edges of boards a bit shelf-worn A novel about black entertainers in the South. An outspoken proponent for the positive treatment of black performers, Muse (1889-1979) fought demeaning stereotypes for most his career. Ironically, he was a staunch supporter of the controversial black-oriented TV series The Amos 'n Andy Show (1951). He insisted that, despite the standard caricatures of the title players, the series allowed black actors to portray white-collar roles such as doctors, bankers, judges, and professors, generally not done in white-oriented series. Clarence Muse was one of the first African American actors to star in a major motion picture. He appeared in more than 150 movies and wrote the script to the musical film adaptation of Way Down South with Langston Hughes.
