Byblos: The first volume of Jim Crow: Voices from a Century of Struggle, Part One: 1876-1919, from the Library of America was delivered by the postman. The second volume spans the years 1876–1976—the kind of time period that will likely result in both volumes being prohibited from Florida military academies and institutions. Tina Steptoe, an associate history professor at the University of Arizona and the author of Houston Bound: Culture and Color in a Jim Crow City (2015), serves as the set’s editor. According to LOA’s synopsis: This first of two volumes, which includes speeches, pamphlets, journalism, legal opinions, congressional testimony, and poetry by both well-known and lesser-known authors, begins with Frederick Douglass’ passionate 1876 call to protect freedmen’s right to vote and ends with W. A. Domingo’s defiant declaration of the New Negro during the bloody Red Summer of 1919. Along the way, readers come across Mary Church Terrell criticizing the brutality of the convict labor system, William Monroe Trotter dramatically confronting Woodrow Wilson in the White House over segregation in the federal workforce, and Ida B. Wells exposing the atrocities of lynching and the lies used to justify it. Additionally, there are inflammatory newspaper pieces that led to a violent coup by white mobs in Wilmington, North Carolina, in November 1898, as well as troubling displays of white supremacy by South Carolina politician Benjamin Tillman and Harvard paleontologist Nathaniel S. Shaler. Black and white press editorials present opposing viewpoints on two Black individuals whose defiance turned into flashpoints: heavyweight champion Jack Johnson, who defeated James Jeffries, the Great White Hope, in 1910, and the notorious Robert Charles, who killed four white police officers in New Orleans before being shot to death following a citywide manhunt in 1900. A helpfully comprehensive table of contents for volumes one and two may be found here.

In many ways, the concert was special. Some of our most esteemed colored individuals, who were also dressed in evening attire, were seated next to some of the top white citizens. Neither colored nor white occupied boxes have any color lines drawn in any area of the house. Members of both races were crammed into Carnegie Hall, and hundreds were turned away. Despite laws prohibiting discrimination, no disaster occurred since the colored citizens were not segregated in certain areas of the theater as some of our theater managers believe is required. Furthermore, it should not be forgotten that both the white people and the people of color in attendance embodied the best aspects of their race.Numerous white composers and authors make every effort to denigrate syncopated music, also referred to as ragtime, and demonstrate why this genre of music is not even worthy of a cursory examination. However, I observed that the audience didn’t show more than normal interest until the Clef Club had performed Panama. Then, as white men and women exchanged glances and grinned, a woman sitting in a conspicuous box started to diligently beat time with her right palm, which was encrusted with numerous pricey stones. After a quick mental debate, I was compelled to come to the conclusion that, in spite of the unfavorable opinions of those who cannot play it, syncopation is actually a homegrown product, a musical form that originated with the Negro but is generally well-liked by all Americans.
