In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we are offering a very rare, first-edition Ebony picture biography, donated to Third World Press Foundation by the Johnson Publishing Company. This fundraiser will help sustain our work and keep Third World Press alive.
These final 50 copies represent an act of stewardship, using what has been entrusted to us to sustainThird World Press and continue our work as a vital Black publishing institution.
Three years ago, Third World Press experienced a major flood that deeply impacted our operations, and we are still in recovery. In a powerful act of solidarity, Johnson Publishing Company donated a portion of their archival inventory to help keep Third World Press operational, continuing a long tradition of Black institutions supporting one another.
As Dr. Haki R. Madhubuti shared, “Dr. King represents the best of our heroes.” In that same spirit, Third World Press Foundation remains committed to honoring Dr. King not only in word, but in practice. Alongside this fundraiser, we continue to publish and preserve works such as ‘Along Martin Luther King: Black America’s Travel on America’s Main Street’ (by Jonathan Tilove) in admiration to Dr. King’s legacy.”
We hope that you will support us.
