William Henry Jernagin was a devout Christian and fierce advocate for civil rights in the first half of the twentieth century. He was senior pastor of the Mount Carmel Baptist Church in the Mount Vernon Square neighborhood for more than forty-five years. His activism made him an internationally recognized figure. He was a foundational leader in the American civil rights movement. His residency allowed him to contribute to the collective action to abolish Jim Crow in the nation s capital. Through his office in the National Baptist Convention, he also identified the potential in a lesser-known leader of the time, Martin Luther King Jr. Jernagin s passion lifted him to leading positions in the National Baptist Convention and National Fraternal Council of Negro Churches, as well as close work with Presidents Roosevelt, Truman and Eisenhower. Author Ida E. Jones reveals the story of this often-overlooked leader and his fight for civil rights while living in the District of Columbia."
First published 1905. Illustrated by C. M. Relyea. It is pretty safe to say that no writer for young folks can write of boarding-school life so interestingly as Ralph Henry Barbour. His latest book for boys is The Crimson Sweater, and is the best he has done. The girls will like it, too, for the heroine of the story is the daughter of the headmaster of the school. Ralph Henry Barbour (November 13, 1870 - February 19, 1944) was an American novelist, who primarily wrote popular works of sports fiction for boys. In collaboration with L. H. Bickford, he also wrote as Richard Stillman Powell, notably Phyllis in Bohemia. Other works included light romances and adventure. Biography: During his career, Barbour produced more than 100 novels as well as a number of short stories................... Charles Mark Relyea (April 23, 1863 - 1932) was an American illustrator whose work appeared in magazines and popular novels in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Life and career: Relyea was a native of Albany, New York, and spent most of his early years in Rochester. He studied art under Thomas Eakins at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and under Frank Vincent DuMond at the Art Students League in New York City before completing his training in Paris. After returning to the United States, he made his home in New Rochelle, New York. His illustrations appeared in the children's magazine St. Nicholas, as well as magazines for broader audiences, such as Munsey's. In 1897, a publishing house chose Relyea to illustrate The Rub iy t of Doc Sifers, Hoosier poet James Whitcomb Riley's poem satirizing The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. Because Relyea was not from Indiana, Riley insisted that he visit the state before making his drawings, to ensure that he would not misrepresent Indiana or caricature its residents. Selected works: Books with illustrations by Charles M. Relyea include: The Rub iy t of Doc Sifers (James Whitcomb Riley, 1897) Standard First Reader (1902), published by Funk & Wagnalls Children of the Tenements (Jacob A. Riis, 1903) A Defective Santa Claus (James Whitcomb Riley, 1904) Her Brother's Letters (Anonymous, 1906) Just Patty (1911) Left Tackle Thayer (Ralph Henry Barbour, 1915), Dodd, Mead & Company The Slipper Point Mystery (1921)....
