Light wear to extremities, small library shelf label to base of spine, else clean throughout, with no markings in text; Very Good+. The first musicological journal on the study of Black music. "The Black Perspective in Music is committed to the publication of news from all over the world about black musicians and their music. The immediate goals of the journal are few and, hopefully, realistic. It seeks to become a source of current history of Afro-American and African music and to provide information periodically about the past of this music. It seeks to improve the conditions for the performance, publication, and recording of an important area of American and African music that hitherto has not received its due share of attention" (Vol.1, No.1, p.3). The journal was edited by Eileen Jackson Southern (1920-2002), an African-American pianist and musicologist, and the first African-American to receive a PhD in musicology from an American institution (NYU, 1961). While known for its serious dedication to scholarship and accuracy, BPIM had a fairly low circulation rate during it's first few years (200-300 subscribers), reaching 1,000 subscribers at the ten year mark.

8pp. Facsimile folio newspaper. Old folds, minor soiling. Very good. Facsimile of the 1947 graduation issue of the school newspaper from Booker Washington High School, an all African-American high school in Tulsa established in 1913. The center two pages display the yearbook photographs for every member of the Class of 1947, and the last page features the "Class of 1947 Seniors of Distinction." There are also various club pictures, sports news, and other features common to high school newspapers. The paper shows hallmarks of being printed by novice printers, with uneven inking and ink splashes. A wonderfully-amateurish school newspaper from a segregated high school in racially-divided Tulsa that remained segregated until 1973. Danky posits 1938 for the beginning of the newspaper's run, which he calls a newsletter, noting the frequency of the paper as "unknown." It is uncertain why this facsimile of the 1947 graduation issue of Booker Washington High School was produced. DANKY, AFRICAN-AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS AND PERIODICALS 6299.
