Rare issue of The Crisis, the official magazine of the NAACP, published in February 1961 during a pivotal period in the Civil Rights Movement. Founded in 1910 by W.E.B. Du Bois, The Crisis served as one of the leading voices advocating for racial equality, social justice, and African American culture. A portion of the back cover is torn. This issue reflects the urgency and momentum of the early 1960s, featuring articles, commentary, and reporting on civil rights activism, national events, and cultural developments of the time.
Overall condition is good for its age. The magazine shows expected signs of wear consistent with vintage publications, including discoloration and fading to both the cover and interior pages due to the original paper quality. There is edge wear with small tears and minor chipping, along with some creasing. A previous owner’s label is present on the back cover. Despite these flaws, the issue remains complete, fully readable, and a highly collectible piece of civil rights history.
