To Be Equal

Author: YOUNG, Whitney M., Jr.
Title: To Be Equal
Publication: New York: McGraw-Hill, (1964)
Edition: First Edition

Description: First Edition. Hardcover. Octavo, 254pp. A crisp, clean copy, about fine, in a near fine dust jacket with some rubbing to the base of the spine. This copy SIGNED and warmly INSCRIBED by Young on the front free endpaper: "To Zelma: With respect, admiration and appreciation for you as a real friend and a real "Pro" in the cause. Whitney Young, Jr." Zelma is almost certainly Zelma Watson George, the African-American philanthropist, advisor to President Eisenhower, and opera singer who broke barriers in numerous fields. She was the first African-American to play the lead in Gian-Carlo Menotti's opera "The Medium," a lead role which would ordinarily have gone to a white woman. She settled in Cleveland, and served on the boards of numerous civic and activist groups. This would account for Young's unusually effusive inscription. Fine / near fine.
