Additional Details

An upscale monthly for the Black market, issued only from January 1920 to June 1921. The editor was Robert L. Vann, who also published the Pittsburgh Courier. Articles in this issue include "The Negro Workingman at the Westinghouse," "Development of Negro Business Ventures in Tidewater, Va.," sections on sports and theater, five short stories, and more. This issue bears the address label of Mrs. J.W. Burden of 1315 Adams Street--apparently Susie M. Burden, wife of John M., who was at that address in Grant, Indiana in the 1920 census. She was a "cateress" and her husband was a teacher. We trace no other examples of The Competitor at auction.
