[Robb, Frederic H. Hammurabi]. The Chicago History Roundup

Title: [Robb, Frederic H. Hammurabi]. The Chicago History Roundup
Publication: Chicago: The House of Knowledge, [1974]

Description: 11" x 14". Stapled self-wrappers. pp. [32]. Very good due to staining of wrappers at edges and and old price in ballpoint on front cover; internally near fine.

This is a Black history calendar published by The House of Knowledge which was created by F.H.Hammurabi Robb, an African American attorney who toured the country (and ultimately the world) speaking on Black history. He also wrote and published on the subject under both the imprint here as well as The Century Service Exchange. The building that housed his businesses on South Michigan Boulevard in Chicago was later used as the first home for the DuSable Museum of African American history.

The book contains reams of data regarding Black history as well as African Americans in Chicago. Each page takes awhile to absorb because of the slapdash approach to layout with images and text calling for attention on numerous spots of each page.

OCLC locates no copies. Very good.
