Additional Details



First and only edition. Printed by the Troutbeck Press as Leaflet Number Eight in an edition of only 200 copies. This rarity is Du Bois' recollection of the momentous conference held on the Spingarn estate in 1916. Convened as a reaction to "race segregation, discrimination and mob murder (lynching)," as well as to mark a "new era" beginning with the passing of Booker T. Washington the year before. <
