(RACE HISTORY.) JEFFERSON, LOUISE.
Americans of Negro Lineage.
Large map of the United States with a multitude of vignettes, 39-3/8x29-1/2 inches (100x75
cm); creases where folded, one tiny (1 cm) closed tear at the conjunction of two folds.
NewYork: Friendship Press, 1946
[1,500/2,500]
An historical map, with the locations of the birthplaces of scores of noted African-Americans.
Also shown are numerous historical sites such as the monument to Crispus Attucks at Boston
Common, and Howard University.The most inclusive “map” of its sort that we have ever seen,
from the earliest arrival of slaves in Jamestown to the accomplishments of colored troops in
World War II, which had ended a year before this was published. Friendship Press issued a
later version of this in 1965, bringing it up to date with Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Civil
Rights Act, and adding a group of “flash cards” for teaching purposes, as we believe the present
map was intended as well.

Joel
Augustus Rogers (1880-1966) was what one called a “Race Man.” He, together with Arthur
A. Schomburg, John E. Bruce and others formed the core of NewYork’s race historians. Rogers
wrote numerous books over the course of a very active life. “Sex and Race” a massive three
volume work, “From Superman to Man,” and “The World’s Great Men of Color,” all
showed the accomplishments of people of African descent through the ages.
