This work was a result of the NAACP centennial commemoration of the Emancipation Proclamation.

NAACP executive Mildred Bond Roxborough was born on June 30, 1926, in Brownsville, Tennessee, one of three daughters of college sweethearts Ollie and Mattye Tollette Bond.

At the age of nine, Roxborough began selling subscriptions to The Crisis, the official publication of the NAACP. Good. Front cover scuffed. Cover has some other wear and soiling.
