MILLER, KELLY.
The Negro in the New Reconstruction.
24 pages. Tall 8vo,
original printed grey-green stiff wrappers; two neat punch-holes at the spine, probably for
inclusion in a binder; some rust in the gutter from the stapled spine on the later pages; still,
a near fine copy.
Washington, D.C.: Howard University, 1919
[350/500]
Part of a series written by Miller around the time of the First World War, addressing “Moral
Revolution,” “Power and Principal”, and in general discusses the power of the strong over the weak.
This came at a time in which many were asking what a post-war world would be like, especially the
colonies of the defeated, like German East Africa.

NATIONAL LIBERTY CONGRESS.
Representing . . . more than one tenth
of the fighting strength of the U.S.
Small broadside, 9 x 5 inches, paper evenly toned, a
couple of tiny nicks.
Washington, D.C., 1918
[350/500]
Continuation: ”we desire in this Congress to ask President Wilson and Congress at this time to
remove from the statutes of our country, all proscription laws of race discrimination of whatever kind,
that we may have at home, for ourselves and our prosperity, that which we are fighting and dying for
in a strange land to secure for others.” Wilson was not disposed toward people of color; and needless to
say, this did not happen.
