[Welcome Placard for the National Association of Negro Musicians' 29th Annual Convention].

New York: [National Association of Negro Musicians], 1952. 4¼” x 11¾”. Sign printed on thick card stock. Near fine with light edge wear.

This is a placard for the National Association of Negro Musicians' 1952 annual convention held at St. Mark's Methodist Church at 139th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue. We imagine it would have been used at a registration table for the gathering that was attended by 350 delegates from 48 states and included a performance by a 200 member chorus. The keynote for the conference was given by Ruth Whitehead Whaley, the first Black woman to graduate from Fordham University School of Law. She was the third-ever African American woman to be admitted to the bar in New York, and was the first in North Carolina.
