Add to basketFolded sheet. Condition: Near fine. Octavo, unpaginated [4pp.] Single folded sheet. Old falttened folds, else clean; near fine. A mimeographed program leaflet for an end-of-summer musical theatre performance by the girls in the Phyllis Wheatley Branch of the YWCA in Atlanta. Though there have been a number of YWCA branches with…this name, some sleuthing into the name of the Branch Executive Director (Mrs. Magnoria Smothers) confirms that this branch was in Atlanta. A revue of theatre and musical numbers with a theme of world travel makes up most of the program. The first number is a "worship" number with the title "God's Trombone." THe name sof all the girls in the group, as well as their coordinators, are printed on the last leaf. Phyllis [usually spelled Phillis] Wheatley is regarded as the first African-American poet to be published in North America. Born in West Africa and sold into slavery at a young age, she ended up enslaved by the Wheatley family in Boston. In an unusual exception to standard practices, they taught her to read and write, and encouraged her talent, emancipating her soon after her book "Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral" was published in 1773.

Contact seller5-star sellerdj. Attractively bound in purple woven cloth with faded gilt stamping on the spine. Very clean and tight throughout. With a frontispiece of Phillis Wheatley. This was Hall Johnson's book and dated 2-10-36 Pasadena, Cal. Johnson was a renowned African American bandleader and musician who died in a Brooklyn fire. Many of his books… survived, and this is one. In the original dust jacket with some browning along the right side of the front panel and the top of the rear panel. Uncommon in dust jacket. Handsomely signed by Hall Johnson. Note: Johnson worked with Walt Disney; and the Hall Johnson Choir was featured in the soundtracks on Snow White, Dumbo, and Song of the South. Hall Johnson was a highly regarded African American choral director, composer, arranger, and violinist who dedicated his career to preserving the integrity of the Black spiritual as it had been performed during the era of slavery. His Hall Johnson Choir, the first professional group of its kind, enjoyed a successful concert and recording career for more than three decades in the United States and abroad. During his professional life Johnson coached hundreds of distinguished musicians, including the famous opera singer Marian Anderson. Virtually every Black singer of note has performed Johnson s solo compositions and arrangements. Born on March 12, 1888, in Athens, Georgia, Hall Johnson was the son of William Decker Johnson, a minister, and Alice Virginia Sansom, a former slave. Johnson was given his first at age 14, with which he taught himself to play. Athens was home to a large, prosperous African American middle class, with excellent schools, and Johnson did well. He graduated from the preparatory school in 1903 and then moved on to Allen University in Columbia, South Carolina, where his father had recently been named president. In 1908, Johnson switched his studies to the University of Pennsylvania. After receiving his college degree in 1912, Johnson returned to Athens. Johnson gained a reputation as an excellent music teacher, and played violin in the orchestras of several Broadway productions, performing behind great entertainers such as Eubie Blake, Noble Sissle, and Josephine Baker. He found additional work in more than one dance band, including a stint touring the United States with a group known as the Southern Syncopated Orchestra. In 1923, he took the seat of the violinist in a chamber music group he helped form called the Negro String Quartet. The group performed pieces across a wide spectrum from the standard classical canon to contemporary pieces by African Americans. Johnson produced his own Broadway musical in 1933, Run Little Chillun, a production he called a folk opera. Johnson worked with Walt Disney; and the Hall Johnson Choir was featured in the soundtracks on Snow White, Dumbo, and Song of the South. Over his lifetime, Johnson was a consummate breaker of barriers, and not just between White and Black or between the world of churches and the world of mass entertainment. On April 30, 1970, Johnson died when a fire broke out in his New York apartment building. This volume is from Hall Johnson s library, much of which was salvaged from the Brooklyn fire. First Edition. Later printing with the 1934 title page date and (copyright dates of 1918, 1921, and 1929 by Dodd and Mead).
