Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good Minus. First edition. 145pp. Octavo [21.5 cm] Red cloth over boards with the title stamped in black ink on the backstrip.

Despite these flaws, the jacket still presents quite well. The story of the making of a revolutionary. The autobiography of American political activist H. Rap Brown (Jamin Al-Amin), a former Chairman of SNCC. Hubert "Rap" Brown (1943-2025) was a veteran of direct action. At the age of 15, he was responsible for organizing a student walkout at Southern High School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Eight years later, he came together with local activists in the Alabama Black Belt to rise against white supremacy through the ballot box, which often meant engaging in direct confrontations with authorities. During Brown's tenure as Chairman of SNCC, he was instrumental in the renaming of SNCC which replaced "Nonviolent" with "National." Confrontations with authorities intensified to the point where the U.S. Congress passed an anti-riot act, known as the "Rap Brown Law," in 1968. Legal woes forced Brown to step down from SNCC, but he remained dedicated to the Movement. "This country was born of violence. Violence is as american as cherry pie. Black people have always been violent, but our violence has always been directed toward each other. If nonviolence is to be practiced, then it should be practiced in our community and end there." - H. Rap Brown, Detroit, 1967.

First Edition. Bifolium (21.5cm); single sheet of white stock, text offset printed in black, folded to create a 4pp pamphlet. Fine. Pamphlet produced by the SNCC, decrying a string of brutal attacks and civil rights violations against Black citizens in the southwest Georgia city of Albany, between 1958-1963. It draws special attention to the case of Charlie Ware, shot without provocation by the sheriff of Baker County, GA in July, 1961. Ware brought a damage suit against the sheriff, and the case was heard by an all-white jury who decided for the sheriff. When leaders of the Albany Movement picketed the business of one of the jurors (whose store catered exclusively to Blacks in Albany), he complained to the Justice Department; the federal government responded by sending a force of 35+ FBI agents, a Grand Jury investigation, and indictments charging conspiracy against nine individuals - all leading forces behind Albany's direct action and voter registration campaigns. The pamphlet concludes with a call to action to help reverse the Albany indictments, and an appeal for financial contributions to assist with the cost of defense and expense of appeals.

Original window decal, with text silk-screened in blue on white gummed paper, measuring 31.5cm x 12.75cm (12.5" x 5"). A Fine example. Attractive, ephemeral relic of the 1963 "Stop! Don't Shop Downtown" Campaign, coordinated by the Chicago Area Friends of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (CAFSNCC) in conjunction with the Coordinating Council of Community Organizations (CCCO). The Campaign called for the ouster of Chicago School Superintendent Benjamin C. Willis, "and for the adoption of a positive policy for integration by the Chicago School Board. This action, supported by a growing number of community organizations, is the follow up to an Oct. 22nd FREEDOM DAY School Boycott, in which over 200,000 students and parents participated in the largest civil rights action in the country's history. The purpose odf the downtown boycott is to pressure business leaders, who have openly supported Willis" (The Student Voice, December 16, 1963, p.4). Not separately cataloged in OCLC, though we note an example held by Emory University.

4to (11" x 8.5"), light yellow printed front wrapper, 13 staple-bound pp. CONDITION: Chip to cover at corner with staples, with no loss of text. A Canadian edition of this compendium of SNCC statements and an interview with its president, Stokely Carmichael, first published in the U.S. The collection opens with sections titled "The Basis of Black Power," "White Power," "Roles of White and Blacks," "Black Self-Determination," "White Radicals," and "Black Identity."These are introduced as "excerpts from a working paper prepared by members of SNCC in Winter 196566," which, "according to the NY Times of 5 August 1966, from which this is taken,serves as the basis for SNCC's 'black power' philosophy." What follows is a seven-page interview with Stokely Carmichael and a one-page statement by him. The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) formed in 1960 in the wake of a series of lunch counter and university sit-ins, and quickly rose to prominence, with an early acknowledgement from Martin Luther King, Jr., who stated that: "What is new in your fight is the fact that it was initiated, fed, and sustained by students." During the 1960s "there were more SNCC field secretaries working full time in southern communities than any civil rights organization before or since" (Cobb). The organization partnered briefly with the Black Panthers. The Student Union for Peace Action (SUPA) emerged in Regina, Saskatchewan in 1964 out of the Combined Universities Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. Though short-lived (19641967), it quickly spread to campuses across Canada, organizing community projects, protests, publications, etc. Composed mainly of young Canadians, SUPA embraced participatory democracy, calling for power to be exercised "from the bottom up" and critiquing the undue influence of corporations and elites on Canadian politics. Its mandate was sweeping, tackling issues of war, racism, poverty, and social injustice, while situating Canadian reform in the broader context of Cold War tensions and the Civil Rights Movement. Central to SUPA's intellectual and activist work was its Research, Information and Publications Project (RIPP), which produced articles analyzing Canadian society and foreign policy. These included Jim Harding's Canada's Indians, L. C. and F. W. Park's Canadian Neocolonialism in Latin America, B. Roy Lemoine's Quebec, A Double Revolution, and Stanley Gray's Democracy and Social Change. This RIPP edition of SNCC Speaks for Itself is evidence of the organization making common cause with civil rights activists in the U.S. as well. Although SUPA dissolved by the late 1960s, its publications and ideals influenced subsequent organizations and shaped the direction of Canadian New Left thought. OCLC records a single copy of this Canadian edition, at Temple University. REFERENCES: Cobb, Charlie.
