Softcover. First edition, with Comment by Shirley Graham. Octavo. 192pp. Pictorial wrappers. Modest rubbing on the wrappers, very good or better. This volume tells the story of the indictment of Du Bois and four codefendants as unregistered foreign agents of the Soviet Union, describing his arraignment and fingerprinting in February 1951, his trial that November, and his eventual acquittal, with Albert Einstein outspoken in his support. Despite many frightened sponsors withdrawing from Du Bois' 83rd birthday celebration in February, both Paul Robeson and E. Franklin Frazier "spoke courageously and feelingly" at the milestone event. Scarce.
