Crisis: A Record of the Darker Races, Vol. I, No. 4
by W. E. B. Du Bois
The Crisis is the official publication of the NAACP first published in 1910 with W. E. B. Du Bois, one of the founders, as editor. He exercised almost total control of the content and opinions of the publication until he resigned in 1934. Du Bois was one of the most ardent advocates for total civil rights for all racial minorities and was a prolific author for the cause. From Du Bois’ editorial: “The object of this publication is to set forth those facts and arguments which show the danger of race prejudice, particularly as manifested to-day toward colored people. It takes its name from the fact that the editors believe that this is a critical time in the history of the advancement of men.” This issue has editorials, opinions, and articles such as "The Negro as a Soldier" by Brigadier General Andrew S. Burt, "A Black Statesman of the Last Century" by Dr. Frances Hoggan, and several tributes to Charles Sumner, including a poem by Justice Wendell Phillips Staford. - Summary by Larry Wils
