Crisis- A Record of the Darker Races, Vol. I, No. 2

The Crisis, the official journal of the NAACP, debuted in 1910 under the editorial leadership of W. E. B. Du Bois, one of its founders. For over two decades, Du Bois wielded significant influence over the publications content, passionately advocating for civil rights and racial equality. In his own words, The object of this publication is to set forth those facts and arguments which show the danger of race prejudice, particularly as manifested to-day toward colored people. This edition delves into pressing issues such as Jim Crow laws, the Socialist movement in Oklahoma, and the importance of education. It also features a thought-provoking article, The Real Race Problem by Franz Boaz, and insights from Talks about Women by Mrs. John E. Milholland. Join us as we explore this critical moment in the fight for justice and equality. - Summary by Larry Wilson
