The Messenger was the third most popular magazine of the Harlem Renaissance after The Crisis and Opportunity. Unlike the other two magazines, The Messenger was not tied to a civil rights organization. Labor activist A. Philip Randolph and economist Chandler Owen started the magazine in 1917 to advance the cause of socialism to the black masses. They believed that a socialist society was the only one that would be free from racism.

The socialist ideology of The Messenger "the only magazine of scientific radicalism in the world published by Negroes," was reflected in the pieces and authors published in its pages. The Messenger Reader contains poetry, stories, and essays from Paul Robeson, Zora Neale Hurston, Wallace Thurman, and Dorothy West.

The Messenger Reader, will be a welcome addition to the critically acclaimed Modern Library Harlem Renaissance series.

I'm gonna get more.
Color: Black Grey Heather, Size: XX-Large
Can't love this hoodie enough. It's a very light weight, soft, breathable hoodie for any occasion. It runs a bit on the long side so you don't have to worry about it riding up on you especially if you're taller. 10/10 would buy again.

Great thin hoodie
Color: Black Grey Heather, Size: X-Large
Very soft and comfortable. It’s great in weather in the 50s-60s without wind. Perfect for those days where you could “wear a t shit and jeans or sweater and shorts” type days. Very breathable

Where are the thumb holes
Color: Black Grey Heather, Size: XX-Large
I love the fit Don't Really unzip it but the zipper seems solid I hate the thumb holes on all of these hoodies but this one needs it as the wrists have no elastic if you do not wear a watch or have bracelets like myself it will be in the palm of your hand but the hoodie is the first I've ever had that stays on top of your head not over your eyes
