Between the Covers

Softcover. Presumed first, and probably only edition. Quarto. Mimeographed and stapled self-wrappers. [6]pp. Fairly sizable but faint stain, an about near fine copy of this essay by Kenyatta, a body guard and protégé of Malcolm X who became a Harlem street orator after the latter's death. He and his Mau Mau Society were investigated by HUAC for his supposed threats to kill moderate civil rights leaders. Scarce and ephemeral, probably handed out in the streets. The wrappers feature inflammatory headlines and photos from two New York newspapers from May, 1971. No copies in *OCLC*.
