Book deaccessioned from a Lamar County-State of Alabama African American segregated school or school library. [4], 121, [3] pages. Hardcover: H 20.25cm x L 15.5cm. No dust jacket. Red cloth rubbed and soiled with some staining; spine ends scuffed with fraying at heel. Ink stamps on front and rear pastedowns "Negro" and "State Textbook Purchasing Board | This book is the property of | The State of Alabama | Lamar County" with latter stamp (and not the former) repeated on the title page. Past owner's ink signature dated October 1989 on front free endpaper well past its deaccession; light soiling to otherwise fairly clean interior text pages (much less than the usual abuse inflicted upon library or school texts). An interesting relic of Alabama's staunch support of segregated facilities. Lamar County, Alabama's primary segregated school - Todd High School - was located in Vernon (although some internet search results incorrectly indicate Millport) with there being several segregated elementary schools throughout the county as those were established by community need. It appears that the book was purchased directly by the state for segregated school distribution. This contrasts to Mississippi's practice which, with the few books encountered over the years, seems to have been to direct new book purchases to white schools leaving the black schools with dated "hand-me-down" texts.…
