The Embryo of the Voice of the Negro: A Magazine Struggling to Be Born
New York: The Voice of the Negro, 1927.
Vol 1, No. 1. February, 1927. 4 pp. A single sheet folded once, 9.25" x 12.5". Very Good+ with light wear. This scarce publication served as a proposal for a new magazine Harrison wished to found, The Voice of the Negro, for his organization, The International Colored Unity League. Harrison died after its first issue was completed, less than a year after this was published. Includes articles such as "What This Race Really Needs is a Good Magazine," "Lincoln and Douglass," "On Reading Negro Books," and a critical piece on Lincoln titled, "Martyred President was Not an Abolitionist..."
Considered "The Father of Harlem Radicalism," the author had worked as an editor for New Negro magazine and Marcus Garvey's newspaper, Negro World.
