    The Negro in Modern American History Textbooks
    A study of the Negro in selected junior and senior high history textbooks as of
    By Irving Sloan,
    Chicago: Wraps, stapled 8 x 8 inches, 47 pages, American Federation of Teachers, AFL-CIO, 1966. Fine-VG, front-cover corner bent (upper right). Sold as is.
    From the introduction:
    The fact is that the account in American history textbooks of Negroes and of their contributions to society has never been complete or well-balanced. To be sure, there has been improvement through the years. One need go back only to the 1950s and compare those editions with 1966 editions of the same texts to see the startling changes and improvements. (Included in this study is a graphic example of this situation. Following the analysis of The Growth of America, we reproduce an analysis made of a 1959 edition of this same text. The contrast is dramatic.)"
