Simple's Uncle Sam.

First edition of Hughes' classic work. Octavo, original cloth. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. From the library of Henry Lee Moon with his bookplate on the front free endpaper. Henry Lee Moon was an American journalist, author and civil rights activist. In 1948, Moon began working for the NAACP as their public relations director. Moon held the position until 1974. During his tenure at the NAACP, he promoted voting rights and encouraged the organization to work harder to elect politicians friendly to their cause. While at the NAACP, he also wrote the book Balance of Power and edited a collection of W. E. B. Du Bois’ writings. In 1988, the library at the NAACP’s headquarters in Baltimore was renamed in his memory. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Jacket design by Saul Lambert. A nice association.
