Despite some damage, or lack of the wrappers of several numbers, these pamphlets represent the work of some of the greatest African American scholars of any era. Founded in Washington D.C. by 78-year-old Reverend Alexander Crummell, the American Negro Academy was an organization of black intellectuals dedicated to the promotion of higher education, the arts, and science for African Americans as part of the overall struggle for racial equality. This group of their Occasional Papers includes: Alexander Crummell's 1898 paper "Civilization the Primal Need of a Race;" the Inaugural Address of the Academy; "Alexander Crummell, an Apostle of Negro Culture" (Ferris); "The Educated Negro and His Mission" (Scarborough); "The Demand and Supply of Increased Efficiency in the Negro Ministry;" "The Ballotless Victim of One Party Politics" (Grimke); "Modern Industrialism and the Negroes of the United States" (Grimke); "Peonage" (Hershaw); "Papers of the American Negro Academy for 1915" (six studies); "The Ultimate Criminal" (Grimke); "Charles Sumner Centenary" (Grimke); "The Negro and the Elective Franchise, a Series of Papers" by six members of the Academy; "A Comparative Study of the Negro Problem," by Charles C. Cook; and "The Disfranchisement of the Negro" by John L. Love.
