Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First. Albert Cecil Williams(1929 2024) was an American pastor, civil and LGBT rights activist, community leader, and author who was the pastor of the famous Glide Memorial Church in San Francisco. He was one of the first African-American graduates of the Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University. Drawing on his experiences in the civil rights movement, Williams was also one of the first African-Americans to become involved in the gay rights movement. Under his leadership, Glide Memorial became a diverse 10,000-member congregation of all races, ages, genders, ethnicities and sexual orientations. To this day, it is the largest provider of social services in San Francisco. Although Williams signed many copies of his autobiography, this one is unique in that it is inscribed to his personal friend, the noted San Francisco-based author Kay Boyle. Kay Boyle(1902 1992) was an American novelist, short story writer, educator, and political activist. She was best known for her fiction, which often explored the intersections of personal and political themes. Her work contributed significantly to modernist literature, and she was an active participant in the expatriate literary scene in Paris during the 1920s. This copy is near fine with a beige cloth spine on green paper-covered boards and silver and black titles on the spine. Minor bumping at the spine ends but otherwise unmarked and undamaged. The unclipped DJ, having been in a protective plastic cover, is also near fine, with just slight edge wear. Inscribed by Williams on the half title page. There is an envelope affixed to the ffep containing an unmarked photo. A newspaper clipping of Williams obituary is laid inside the front cover. . BI24. Seller Inventory # B1152
