[Associated Publishers] [Prospectus:] Negro Musicians and Their Music by Maud Cuney-Hare. [Washington, D.C.: Associated Publishers, Inc., 1936]. [2]pp. Quarto sheet. Faint toning at folds; near fine. Prospectus for Negro Musicians and Their Music published in 1936 by Carter Woodson’s Associated Publishers, the first firm devoted exclusively to publishing Black-themed books and related materials. The 439-page, illustrated book is promoted as the first history of Blacks in music and the first “to compare scientifically the achievements of the Negro in this sphere with those of other advanced peoples.” The prospectus reprints the book’s table of contents as well as six newspaper or magazine reviews including those in The Knickerbocker Press, The Boston Globe, The Birmingham News-Age-Herald, and The Nashville Banner. An order blank is printed on the back. “The Associated Publishers was born in the fertile mind of Carter G. Woodson, being part of his plan to correct the widely held belief that the Negro had no history. Following World War I, Woodson sensed a desire among Negroes to know more about their past. Publishing companies, however, were not interested in bringing out serious works on the Negro. Hence, in November, 1920, Woodson organized The Associated Publishers, with himself as president of the board of trustees.” (Quarles, Benjamin. “A Profile: The Associated Publishers” in Negro History Bulletin, Vol.28, No.4 (1965), p.81).
