nine rare numbers from the second, third and fourth years of the naacp's official organ. These early issues, barely 50 years after Emancipation, carry articles on the progress of the race, monthly reports from the NAACP, the ever-present issue of lynching and its remedies, plus original art, poetry, and fiction. The April 1913 issue features "Easter Emancipation," an epic poem by W.E.B. Du Bois not printed elsewhere, until the Collected Papers. Du Bois contributed a great deal of the content in these early issues. Contributing editors included Max Barber, Oswald Garrison Villard, Kelly Miller, Charles Edward Russell, and W.S. Braithwaite.
