    Description
    A second edition of White Supremacy and Negro Subordination, by J. H. Van Evrie, a hardbound book covered in blue leather. The cover itself is blank, the spine of the book has the title [WHITE / SUPREMACY / and / NEGRO / SUBORDINATION / VAN EVRIE] in gold lettering with a makers stamp on the bottom that state [VE&Co]. There are approximately 410 pages. The stated intention of the book is to demonstrate “that the so-called slavery of the South was the Negro’s normal or natural condition.” Evrie cites phrenology, physical anthropology, comparative anatomy, and biological determinism in support of the argument that the enslaved were absolutely dependent on their masters. The work begins with a page of four illustrated figures and page numbers. Throughout the book, there are six colored lithographs depicting stereotypical figures of different races. The first illustration on page 16 is a man standing on a colorful tiled floor with Washington, D.C. in the background and is titled [CAUCASIAN]. The other lithographs are not titled. On page 67, an African figure is pictured wearing a loose white garment with swords tucked into a red sash. Behind the individual is a desert background. The third illustration, on page 89, is a color plate depicting an Asian indvidual holding a smoking pipe with a long shaft, standing next to a bamboo table, with mountains and a pagoda in the background. On page 221, an American Indian figure is depicted wearing a beaded and feathered headdress and animal skin leggings with a blanket wrapped around his shoulders. He carries a spear and stands on a rock. An Eskimo figure is shown on page 269. He is depicted wearing fur garments and holding an ice fishing spear, with snow covered mountains in the background. The last illustration plate on page 308 depicts a black man seated and smoking a pipe. He wears red striped pants that are soiled and torn at the knee, a white shirt and tan vest. He is barefoot. The tall masts of ships are visible in the background. The back of the book includes pages of advertisements for other works including those published by Van Evrie, Horton & Co.

    Description
    "Joe's Bed Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads" is famed director Spike Lee's first feature film. Lee submitted the film as his thesis while attending New York University's filmmaking master's program. The film tells the story of a barbershop owner who must decide whether or not to make a deal with a local gangster in order to keep his shop open.
    Consists of: 16mm Film (a).
    2017.55.22.1a:16mm film. The film begins with two men speaking idly in voiceover over black before one demands that the other starts the film. The credit sequence then proceeds. The first scene opens with a tracking and panning shots of a barbershop as the proprietor, Joe, packs a suitcase and closes the shop. The scene ends with two men demanding that Joe accompany them in their car. In the car, Joe attempts to make conversation to no avail.
    In the next scene, Joe begs for his life as the men tie cinderblocks to his body and toss him in the East River as retribution for stealing money from them.
    Zach, Joe's business partner, and his wife, Ruth, discuss what do about the barbershop now that Joe is dead. She insists that he sells it, while he refuses to do so. Ruth informs him that people only frequented the shop to play the numbers, not get their hair cut. A montage of Zach walking to the shop and opening for the day follows.
    Zach idles away the day in a mostly empty shop until a single customer comes in for a shave. The customer says the shop isn't the same without Joe running the numbers and overpays for his shave to help Zach when he is informed that Zach won't continue the racket. The film returns to Zach's home as Ruth returns from work. The two playfully continue their conversation about selling the shop.
    The subsequent scene takes place at the Department of Social Services where Ruth works. She is introduced to Teapot, a teenager at risk of falling into a life of crime. She pushes a resistant Zach to hire him in order to keep on the straight and narrow. In the next scene, Zach finds Teapot waiting outside the shop and puts him to work. Over a game of checkers, Teapot asks Zach why he doesn't have any customers. Zach explains that he won't do the processed hairstyles that have become popular. As Teapot sweeps up for the day, Zach informs him not to come in because he has some thinking to do.
    The next scene begins with a long panning shot of a group of young people standing in a circle around a boombox in the lobby of an apartment building. The boombox is turned on and the young people begin dancing to the unidentified hip hop music it plays. Ruth enters the building and winds her way through the partyers to the elevator, which she finds broken. She climbs the stairs to the apartment of Ms. Figueroa who initially refuses to open the door.
    The film cuts to the two men that murdered Joe standing over Zach as he naps in his barbershop. They ask him to go with them to meet their boss; he refuses and they besat him before taking him to an unidentified basement. The man who stopped in for a shave earlier in the film emerges from the darkness and identifies himself as Nicholas Lovejoy and the person responsible for running the numbers in Bedford-Stuyvesant. He tries to persuade Zach to continue taking people's numbers using the rhetoric of black empowerment. Zach appears to agree under duress.
    In an aside from the main plot, Teapot walks along the waterfront in Brooklyn Heights he comes across a model and photographer engaged in a photoshoot.
    The subsequent scene begins with Zach examining his wounds in a mirror at home. He sits down at a table and Ruth brings him something to eat. It is apparent that he has lied about the source of his injuries. Ruth implores him to reconsider his position on doing processed hairstyles in order to drum up business; to her frustration, he again refuses. She tries to convince him to join her at her parents' home in Atlanta, but he rejects the offer out of hand. Nicholas Lovejoy appears at the door and presents himself as Zach's business associate. A skeptical Ruth questions Lovejoy, who presents himself as an investor and mentions the value of the land where the barbershop sits.
    In the next scene, Lovejoy explains how to run the numbers to Zach as the two stand together at the Dean St. subway station. The film cuts to Zach's now very busy barber shop. Zach cuts hair as Teapot takes people's numbers. At the end of the busy day, Zach smiles as he sweeps the floor and sends Teapot home for the day.
    In another brief aside, Teapot teaches a younger child how to properly curse. This is followed by a scene in which Ruth returns to see Ms. Figueroa, but is attacked by an unidentified assailant in the stairway before reaching the apartment.
    The subsequent scene begins on Zach's stoop as he discusses the attack with Teapot. They go on to discuss the state of the neighborhood as they explore Teapot's now closed and abandoned elementary school. The scene concludes with them goofing around on the school's basketball court.
    Zach returns home and is confronted by a still rattled Ruth who asks that he stop involving Teapot in running the numbers. He agrees, but the film cuts to Teapot continuing to do so. Lovejoy's two enforcers enter the shop and instruct Zach to make sure that an unidentified individual receives a small package containing cash that they hand to him. Rather than ensure the package's delivery, he calls Ruth and instructs her to meet him at the airport to fly to Atlanta. He then hands several bills to Teapot and tells him to get out of New York for a while.
    At the airport, Zach purchases tickets, but Ruth fails to show. He receives a call and it appears as though Ruth has been kidnapped. Zach returns to the shop to find Lovejoy, his enforcers, and Ruth waiting for him. Lovejoy acts disappointed in Zach and demands the lease to the barbershop in exchange for not killing him. When Lovejoy and the others leave, Ruth castigates Zach for his stupidity before leaving the shop.
    The next morning Teapot opens the shop to find Zach asleep in one of the chairs. Zach asks why he didn't leave the city as instructed and Teapot explains that he used the cash to buy a camera. Resigned to his fate, Zach sits down to a game of checkers with Teapot.
    The film concludes with a close-up of the shop's barber pole.

    Caption
    Frances Rollin and her four sisters, Charlotte, (Chair of the SC Woman Suffrage Association), Katherine, Louise, and Florence were 19th century suffragettes who actively advocated for equal rights for women. During Reconstruction, they operated a successful political salon in Columbia, SC where blacks, whites, women and men discussed civil, social and political rights for all Americans.
    Frances Anne Rollin was also a writer and the author of Life and Public Services of Martin R. Delany which upon appearing in 1868 became the first full-length biography written by an African American. Rollin also kept a diary in 1868, making it the earliest known diary by a southern black woman.
    Major Martin Delany, the highest ranking black in the military, was so impressed by the young teacher that he commissioned her to write his biography. Rollin traveled to Boston to write and to seek a publisher. Her account describes her writing experience as well as her meetings with notable abolitionists and luminaries of the Civil War era and notes Delany’s financial challenges once the Civil War ended.
    Returning to South Carolina in 1868, Frances Rollin was employed by a Pennsylvania-born black attorney, William J. Whipper, who had been recently elected to the South Carolina Legislature. Rollin and Whipper married a few months later.
    Rollin continued her diary during their brief courtship and first year of marriage. The diary allowed a rare glimpse into the social life of Columbia, the South Carolina capital, and recorded the anti-black, anti-Republican violence then ongoing in the state during Reconstruction.
    Description
    Personal diary of Frances Anne Rollin, written during the year 1868. The content of the diary covers the publication of Rollin's book, her courtship and first year of marriage to William J. Whipper, member of the South Carolina state legislature, and life in Reconstruction-era Columbia, South Carolina. The diary is wrapped in black leather with a flap extension on the right that slips inside a strap on the body of the book. On top of the strap is the manufacture's mark in gold that is a circular shape with a starburst design on top. Underneath is the text, [DIARY / 1868]. The inside cover of the diary has many inscriptions in pencil. The text begins with the numbers, [62 / 135.] Underneath reads, [F. Rollin / 16 Blossom [illegible] / Boston / Mass]. On the right cover is a list of objects including the diary and their prices listed on the left with a total of 3.75. Another math equation below lists more objects and ends with 1.90.
    The inside title page is covered in decorative floral and leaf scroll work. The title reads, [ILLUMINATED / DIARY / for / 1868.]. Underneath is an illustrated image of the sea with a mast ship. The publisher below reads, [PUBLISHED BY / TAGGARD & THOMPSON, No. 29 CORNHILL, / BOSTON.] The diary begins with a calendar, differences in time in each state and city, postage information, and eclipses. There are gaps in entries between July 13-26, October 20-21, November 19-January 1, 1869. After the diary dates is a page of [MEMORANDA.] with a list of objects bought and their prices. Following are pages devoted to [CASH ACCOUNT] by month. The back cover has an inscription of two quotes from R. Waldo Emerson, but the quotes are mostly illegible as the graphite has faded. Below the quotes are two more math equations.

    Description
    This is the 10th issue of BLK magazine published September 1989. On the front cover, there is an image of Keith C. St. John. St. John wears a jacket, button-up shirt, necktie and a pair of glasses. At top left, [BLK] is printed in large, bold, white uppercase letters within a red rectangular textbox with [Number 10] along the bottom. The letters are partially obscured by the image of St. John. There are 30 pages in total, with articles, advertisements, classifieds, black and white photographs, and cartoon illustrations throughout.
    Under the heading [Word Up] there are four short articles: [Enlightened Self Interest / The Eddie Doth Protest / Dis This Jam] and the fourth reads [Florida Black Man Lives 30 Years as Woman, Fools 2 Husbands and Adopted Son]. This is followed by the calendar section [BLK BOARD] and letters to the editor [BLK MAIL].
    The cover story, which begins on page 6 and ends on page 7, is entitled [Working Inside / Openly gay black attorney runs for city post in Albany, New York]. Two quotes from the interview are printed in a larger font.

    The second issue of BLK magazine, published January 1989. It is printed in black and white and features an image of singer/songwriter Sylvester on the front cover. Sylvester is wearing large sunglasses and smiles widely at the camera. Close to the bottom of the page, there is a black textbox with the letters [BLK] written inside in large, bold uppercase white letters, followed by [Number 2, January 1989] in a smaller font. There are 16 pages in total, with articles, advertisements, black and white photographs, and cartoon illustrations originally from Ebony Magazine with new captions written by BLK.
    Page 3 displays the [January Calendar of Events]. Subsequent pages include articles such as [How Safe is Oral Sex?], [Remembering Sylvester] and [AIDS Conferences Held Throughout the World]. Pages 10-11 feature short articles on Minority AIDS Project activities, AIDS in Zaire, and the death of television news anchorman Max Robinson. Page 12 features a half-page statistical report on AIDS cases provided by the CDC in an article entitled [CDC Lists December Statistics On U.S. AIDS Cases]. The next page provides a short piece on the spread of AIDS in Ethiopia. The pages of articles are followed by several pages of a [Community Directory], which includes sections for [Bars and Baths] and [Organizations]. The final pages consist of classified ads for employment, housing, models, masseurs, and personals.
    There are advertisements throughout, including a [Special Benefit Preview Performance] of The Phantom of the Opera for [THE PHILIP MANDELKER AIDS PREVENTION CLINIC] and several for [976-HUGE].
