[AFRICAN AMERICANA] [CIVIL RIGHTS] KING, JR., Martin Luther (contributor)

"Negroes, Jews, Israel and Anti-Semitism. As seen by a leader of the Negro freedom movement" [In] Jewish Currents - Vol.22, No.1 (January, 1968)

New York: Jewish Currents, 1968. First Edition. Slim octavo (21.75cm); original pictorial wrappers, stapled; 46pp; illus. Light wear and handling to wrappers, with a tiny stain and a small abrasion to lower rear wrapper; Very Good+. A lengthy response by King to an inquiry addressed to him after a New Politics Convention in Chicago, IL, asking him to "disassociate himself publicly" from anti-Israel and anti-Semitic manifestations at the Convention. He responds (in part) quite emphatically: "SCLC has expressly, frequently and vigorously denounced anti-Semitism and will continue to do so. It is not only that anti-Semitism is immoral – though that alone is enough. It is used to divide Negro and Jew, who have effectively collaborated in the struggle for justice" (p.8). Additional contributors include Anatol Rapoport, Louis Harap, and Daniel N. Stone. An uncommon appearance, not cited in Pyatt (Martin Luther King, Jr. An Annotated Bibliography).
