About This Item
Berkeley / New York City: Anthony M. Platt / The Mayor's Commission on Conditions in Harlem, 1970. Staplebound Wraps. Unpaginated preliminaries, 84p., printed rectos only, typewritten throughout (competently, without such niceties as right-margin justification), standard leaves under red coversheets, side-stapled. A couple of corner-tips and margins are a little creased, but a good to very good copy of a fragile production. We were informed that Anthony M. "Tony" Platt (School of Criminology, University of California) is not only the self-copyright holder but typed or arranged to have typed this facsimile he has shepherded. Amongst the board members of the 1935 committee were several well-known quantities: A. Philip Randolph, Countee Cullen, Arthur Garfield Hays and Morris Ernst.
