11" x 7¾". Two color double-sided leaves, adhered at top edge with hole for hanging. Pp. [4]. Very good: faint stains to background of one image and a few light creases and scuffs, else fresh and bright. This is a rare and beautiful wall calendar celebrating four civil rights leaders, all of whom had been murdered. It was issued by a long-standing African Americanowned funeral home in Louisiana, founded and run at the time by an enterprising educator and community leader, Buena King. A 1977 feature in the Ruston Daily Leader offered a wealth of background on the impressive "Buena King - Businesswoman." Reared in East Texas and one of six children, she started domestic duties at an early age and put herself through college by supervising campus residential buildings. In 1926 she was hired to teach at a Black school in Ruston, Louisiana; she also established the library and science department, instigated fundraising for the auditorium, served as assistant principal and coach of the girls' basketball team. "During the Panic of 1932, when banks and businesses were failing because of the scarcity of money, Mrs. King pooled the family's funds and established a burial club." In 1960 she retired from teaching to work the funeral home full-time with her husband, and when he died in 1968 she "assumed full responsibility for the business." She was "the only female member of the Interracial Committee" in Ruston and worked to open roads, a park and swimming pool for Black residents. She was also active with the local voters league, NAACP and Chamber of Commerce, and served on the Board of Directors for the State and National Funeral Directors and Morticians Associations. King's Funeral Home, per their website, has been offering "personalized funeral services since 1932." The business is now run by W.D. McKeever, who "was fortunate to receive the majority of his training from the late Buena E. King. She passed on to him her passion for the customer." This beautiful calendar shows the dates for three months of 1969 to each of four pages and advertises King's Funeral Home: "Quality (We Have It) - Service (We Give It) - Satisfaction (We Guarantee It)." Each page also has a photographic image of a civil rights leader who met an untimely demise: John F. Kennedy, Medgar Evers, Robert F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Rare and beautiful promotion for a funeral home run by an ambitious African American woman in Louisiana. No evidence of this calendar was found in OCLC or online.…

Descripción de la tienda
You may notice that despite the name of our business, you won't find a lot of books here. While we do sell some printed matter, we specialize in selling original source materials that tell compelling American stories. Our principal abandoned a reasonably successful law career to do this full time because life is too short not jump out of bed excited to start a work day. Our slogan, “The Extraordinary History of the Every Day”, matches our approach to the trade: we seek to preserve the exceptional stories of everyday people. Most of these folks probably had no idea that their actions were anything other than ordinary. As you look through our website and catalogs you'll find a wealth of compelling narratives. Also note that we don't limit ourselves to those lost to history as our work has enhanced many a wiki page. Considering our present inventory, you might also think we only buy and sell material related to underrepresented social groups and social movements. That's because of the response we receive from customers for this type of material and we would do nearly anything to avoid practicing law again. Truth be told, we get excited about preserving all sorts of interesting stories so the more you would educate us about your collecting interests, wants and what gets you excited, the more likely we'd recognize this material as something we should bring to market. So please feel free to reach out and tell us what you collect. Also, if you have items that you think may be of interest to us, please do not hesitate to write or call.…
