EDITORS COMMENTS
This cover page is from the Thanksgiving Crusader Magazine, titled "Onward for Democracy; Upward with Race," published between 1918 and 1922. The exact creator of the image remains unknown, but it is attributed to Cyril V. Briggs. The cover showcases a determined and proud African American woman, dressed in fashionable clothing of the era, with an elegant hairpiece adorning her head. The lettering on the cover is bold and clear, with the magazine title and the tagline "Onward for Democracy; Upward with Race" prominently displayed. The background is a simple yet effective design, with a textured pattern reminiscent of a Thanksgiving feast. The cover page is a testament to the spirit of the time, reflecting the ongoing fight for civil rights and democracy for African Americans in the United States during the 1910s and 1920s. The image of a strong, independent woman in fashionable attire was a powerful symbol of progress and empowerment for the African American community. This cover page is now part of the extensive collection of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library. It is a valuable historical artifact that provides insight into the cultural and social climate of the time and the role of African Americans in shaping the nation's history.
