First edition of this comprehensive anthology that compiles historical documents, speeches, and firsthand accounts to trace the evolving struggle for African American freedom and equality. Quarto, original publisher's orange cloth boards, with black and white illustrations. Association copy, inscribed by Martin Luther King Jr. to Sammy Davis Jr. on the front free endpaper, "To my Dear Friend Sammy Davis Whose Friendship I Cherish very deeply MartinÂLutherÂKing." Sammy Davis Jr. (1925â"1990) was an American singer, dancer, and actor whose extraordinary versatility made him one of the most celebrated entertainers of the twentieth century. As the only Black member of the Rat Pack, Davis broke racial barriers in entertainment while confronting segregation both on and off stage. His friendship with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. began through Davisâs activism and fundraising for Kingâs civil-rights efforts and deepened during the Civil Rights Movement. Davis used his fame to raise awareness and funds for Kingâs initiatives, performing at civil rights benefits and supporting the 1963 March on Washington. In near fine condition with a small loss to the crown of the spine. Edited by Alfred E. Cain. Illustrated by Horace Varela. Housed in the original orange cloth slipcase within a custom folding chemise within a custom half morocco slipcase with gilt titles to the spine. Martin Luther King Jr. was a Baptist minister and activist who became the most visible spokesperson and leader in the civil rights movement from 1954 through 1968. He is best known for his role in the advancement of civil rights using the tactics of nonviolence and civil disobedience based on his Christian beliefs and inspired by the nonviolent activism of Mahatma Gandhi. King led the 1955 Montgomery bus boycott and in 1957 became the first president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). With the SCLC, he led an unsuccessful 1962 struggle against segregation in Albany, Georgia, and helped organize the nonviolent 1963 protests in Birmingham, Alabama. He also helped organize the 1963 March on Washington, where he delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. On October 14, 1964, King received the Nobel Peace Prize for combating racial inequality through nonviolent resistance. In 1965, he helped to organize the Selma to Montgomery marches, and the following year he and the SCLC took the movement north to Chicago to work on segregated housing. In his final years he expanded his focus to include opposition towards poverty and the Vietnam War, alienating many of his liberal allies with a 1967 speech titled "Beyond Vietnam". In 1968, King was planning a national occupation of Washington, D.C., to be called the Poor People's Campaign, when he was assassinated on April 4 in Memphis, Tennessee. He was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal. Martin Luther King Jr. Day was established as a holiday in numerous cities and states beginning in 1971, and as a U.S. federal holiday in 1986. The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., was dedicated in 2011.

First edition of the novelization of Schulberg's Academy Awardâ"winning screenplay for the classic 1954 film On the Waterfront. Octavo, original publisher's cream cloth. Association copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper to Sammy Davis, Jr. in the year of publication, "For Sammy Davis Jr. A great artist who sings songs into life and life into song. Godspeed all the way, from your friend, Budd Schulberg Sept. 9 1955." The recipient, Sammy Davis Jr. was a prominent American entertainer whose career encompassed a range of disciplines including music, film, and theater. Emerging from the vaudeville tradition, Davis achieved notable success in the mid-20th century through his performances in various genres, including jazz, pop, and Broadway. His association with the Rat Pack, alongside figures such as Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, further established his position within the entertainment industry. Davis's career was marked by both significant professional accomplishments and personal challenges, including issues related to racial discrimination. Additionally inscribed by the author (at a later date) to actor Joe Pantoliano on the title-page, "For Joe Pantoliano, Here we go again. It's an honor to meet his distinguished son of Hoboken. I've enjoyed our talk today. Here's to many more. With my admiration and warmest wishes Budd Schulberg 5/5/06." The recipient, American actor Joe Pantoliano has played over 150 roles across film, television, and theater. He is best known for portraying Ralph "Ralphie" Cifaretto on the HBO crime drama The Sopranos (1999â"2007), for which he won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series, and Cypher in the sci-fi action film The Matrix (1999). Near fine in a near fine dust jacket without the usual fading to the spine. An exceptional double association copy. Building on his Academy Award-winning screenplay of the classic film, Budd Schulberg's Waterfront is the story of ex-prizefighter Terry Malloy's valiant stand against corruption on the New Jersey docks. It generates all the power, grittiness, and truth of that great production, but goes beyond it in set and setting. It is a novel of strength and fallibility, of hope and defeat, of love and betrayal. "Intensely personalized, white-hot fiction with all the menace, suspense, narrative flow, fresh characterization and social message anybody could reasonably expect in a novel It's the best of Schulberg, a full-fledged performance by a gifted American writer" (New York Times). Elia Kazan directed the film On the Waterfront, starring Marlon Brando and features Karl Malden, Lee J. Cobb, Rod Steiger, Pat Henning, and, in her film debut, Eva Marie Saint. The soundtrack score was composed by Leonard Bernstein. received twelve Academy Award nominations, winning eight, including Best Picture, Best Actor for Brando, Best Supporting Actress for Saint, and Best Director for Kazan. In 1997 it was ranked by the American Film Institute as the eighth-greatest American movie of all time. In 1989, the film was deemed "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.

Archive of 17 letters between illustrator Al Hirschfeld and noted actors, including Orson Welles, Elizabeth Taylor, James Earl Jones, Sammy Davis Jr., Bob Hope, Angela Lansbury, Peter Ustinov, Yul Brynner, Jerry Orbach, Carol Channing, Raul Julia, Richard Kiley, Chita Rivera, Juim Dale, and Gwen Verdon, requesting permission from Hirshfeld for the publication of his caricatures of them for use in a calendar and various stationery and customized household items. Many of the letters with brief affectionate handwritten notes by Hirshfeld in the margins, and all dated between 1981-1985. All letters on Hirschfeld's personal letterhead, and all excepting the return letters from Marlene Dietrich, Raul Julia, and Carol Channing are signed by both Hirschfeld and the receipient. Marlene Dietrich's return letter is a personal TLS to Hirschfeld rather than a confirmation of permission, graciously declining the request "for obvious reasons." A charming confluence of Broadway's greatest caricaturist and some of the finest actors of the twentieth century. The letters to Carol Channing and Raul Julia are signed by Hirschfeld and the two actors' assistants (in their absence). The remaining 14 letters, all signed by both Hirschfeld and the recipient, are from: Orson Welles, Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Langella, James Earl Jones, Sammy Davis Jr., Bob Hope, Angela Landsbury, Peter Ustinov, Yul Brynner, Jerry Orbach, Richard Kiley, Chita Rivera, Jim Dale, and Gwen Verdon. Letters 8.5 x 11 inches, each with two horizontal creases from mailing. Near Fine.

Unbound. Condition: Very Good. Green sheet of paper. Approximately 5.75" x 4.5". Age-toning at the edges, very good. Boldly Signed by Sammy Davis, Jr. on one side, and Inscribed by Sal Mineo on the other. The autograph seeker has noted the date of each autograph - on successive days in 1961. Though never on-screen together, the two stars actually have an interesting connection: Davis sang the title track for the 1955 film *Six Bridges to Cross*, which featured Mineo's debut performance, and it was reportedly while en route to the recording studio to perform the song that Davis was in the auto accident in which he lost an eye, entirely changing his life and career. One might argue which is the more desirable autograph: Davis the bigger star, Mineo's autograph the scarcer. You decide.
