Weaver, Robert C. Hemmed In / ABCs of Race Covenants in Housing. Chicago: American Council on Race Relations, 1945. 14 pp. Illustrated with drawings by Des. 6x8½", original wrappers.

Robert C. Weaver, one of the most prominent Blacks in New Deal Washington, with expertise on the problem of racial housing discrimination, key to residential segregation, which he discusses in this rare World War II pamphlet. Weaver was the first African American appointed to a Presidential Cabinet as Secretary of the newly established Department of Housing and Urban Development. Dr. Charles Johnson, a distinguished scholar and the first Black President of Fisk University, wrote an exhaustive study of every aspect of the problem for a Presidential Commission of the Hoover Administration. The Johnson book was extensively illustrated with photographs of "Negro Housing" during the Depression, which might be compared with the photos in Virginia and Florida in the 1927 and 1951 pamphlets.

Condition

Johnson dustjacket chipped; few ownership marks; overall very good with exception of the Wolff and Gillogly which is stained on cover and on some text pages.
