Julius Lester was a member of “Snick,” [SNCC] as it was known. As such, he
traveled around the south collecting these African-American folk songs and tales while he and others from
SNCC were trying to register voters. The tales became part of his 1969 book “Black Folk Tales.” The
title-page has a black panther reading a red colored book to 3 young children. Lester has stated that this
was published in-house at SNCC and he believes that less than 1,000 copies were printed.
