NY, Holt Rinehart Winston, (1964). A memoir by the longtime civil rights activist, including her working in the Truman administration, her first political appointment in NYC, and her role as the only woman on the planning committee organizing the 1963 March on Washington. A blurb by Senator Jacob Javits calls the book a "...demonstration of how long the so-called Negro 'revolution' has been with us and how recently the conscience of the white community has finally awakened to it..." This copy is inscribed by the author: "To Marian Wise/ with deep appreciation/ Anna Arnold Hedgeman." A near fine copy in a very good dust jacket with a small price sticker on the front flap, shallow edge staining to the rear panel, and a few small chips, most notably at the crown. [#036820] $450
