Presentation inscription on free, front endpaper from "St. James A.M.E. Church Newark N.J." to "Rev. H.P.

Expanded edition of a substantial compilation of historical and biographical information on the religious, educational, business, and civic institutions and organizations conducted by and/or for African Americans. First published in 1896, the book retains the original introduction by Benjamin W. Arnett (1838-1906), African Methodist Episcopal Bishop, politician, and Colored Conventions movement participant.

A chapter devoted to "Prominent Colored Women" includes profiles and portraits of authors Frances E.W. Harper and Alice Ruth Moore, later the wife of Paul Laurence Dunbar.
This expanded edition contains over 25 new photographic images and 11 new chapters with such titles as "Hampton Institute, Hampton, Va.," "C.M.E. [Colored Methodist Episcopal] Schools," "Coleman Manufacturing Company," and "Colored Soldiers."
Author G.F. Richings was a noted public lecturer in the African American community. His talks were illustrated with stereopticon views "...showing the great advance made by the colored people in this country."¹
