Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Granger, Josie (illustrator). Neuware - Willy Wombat often complained to his friend Katie Kangaroo that rabbits were always digging unplanned or badly designed tunnels everywhere, all too often breaking through the walls or ceiling of his well-furnished burrow. Whenever this happened, more than one rabbit would bounce off his head or end up landing in his soft bed before rushing outside, almost certainly to do it all over again. He often entertained his great friends, Bertie Bilby and Eric Echidna, while sharing his burrow with a family of friendly Owls, some of whom really enjoyed staying in burrows instead of living in barns or hollows in trees.

Draft typescript from Civil Rights leader and longtime director of the National Urban League, Lester B. Granger (1896-1976) on African-American boxing legends Sam Langford and Jack Johnson. After a childhood spent moving around the Jim Crow American South, Lester Granger and his family eventually settled in Newark, NJ, where he began working with the National Urban League, an early Civil Rights organization. He would eventually move to New York where he became its executive director and broadly expanded the scope and membership of the organization, achieving gains on a Federal level under President Eisenhower safeguarding against defense hiring discrimination. The seemingly-unpublished essay "Man Alive" shows Granger considering the racial and societal implications of Jack Johnson's famed refusal to entertain a rematch with Sam Langford. The two heavyweights were the premier black boxers of the late 19th / early 20th centuries, and after a single victory by decision from Johnson ("with a 35-pound edge") over Langford, Johnson never once let it be chanced that he may lose to his primary rival. Granger recounts personal experiences witnessing the two men separately and explores what could have been if the championship title had been allowed to express itself as a competition between the two men, rather than one gatekeeping his throne against possibly his biggest threat to both title and image. Writing on Johnson's ascent, Granger notes: "Once on top he kept his contenders lily-white; he refused to fight his racial colleague and rival; he hugged that championship belt tight [.]". The narrative then moves to comparing the fighting styles of the two, recounting a Langford match witnessed in Boston in thrilling detail and moving to watching Johnson give boxing lessons in his fifties to a youth in California. Granger recollects, "His victory over Jeffries had been a personal triumph when I was a kid on my block in Jersey. Ever after I had heard the legend that he was clever beyond all dreams of present-day men. Old fans still tell how he could stand on a handkerchief, never move his feet from it, never raise a hand in defense, and defy any bystander to land a blow on his head." A poignant manuscript which considers the imperatives of black leadership against the personal pressures of being a barrier-breaking athlete in American athletics -- which again and again has proven a potent method of upsetting culturally prescribed racial order. While perhaps on subjects outside of the scope of Granger's life's work, the concerns and thought displayed here still lie squarely within it. Very Good. Lightly age-toned and edge-worn; else clean and well-preserved. Carbon-copy typescript (8-1/2 x 11 inches) with holograph corrections in pencil. Typed to recto only. 3pp.
