Additional Details

An issue of a quite scarce New York monthly edited and published by Capres Gunther of Harlem. Articles include "Problems in Black," excerpts from Hubert Harrison and Marcus Garvey, short stories, and poetry. Personalities profiled for the magazine's "Hall of Fame" include two young up-and-comers, Thurgood Marshall and Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. (page 11). The advertisements and profiles are rooted in New York, but the other contents have a strain of Pan-Africanism. OCLC shows just a single copy at Emory, dated February 1937; none traced at auction. Not listed in Danky-Hady or Lomazow.
