I try to pay attention to how the things I post on Tumblr move through the web. When I recently posted scans of images from a 1971 magazine titled Black Is… by Martin Dreyer, I was happy to see that a number of Afrocentric blogs picked up on these photos and began recirculating them. In the interest of giving the people some more of what they want, I’ve scanned the entire publication. You can download it from the Public Collectors PDF page.
Black Is… is a photo-heavy magazine celebrating several generations of key figures in black history across many fields and disciplines. It includes black athletes, musicians, politicians, writers and revolutionaries. The magazine is particularly enjoyable for the many photos sourced from United Press International that are accompanied by short biographies. From the introduction by Dreyer: “In these pages you see some of the many blacks who have made the breakthrough, who say with hope and compassion to their brothers and sisters: “Follow me. The only way we can go from here is up.”“
