The human drama of Black Like Me— the fearlessness of The Fire Next Time— a story which challenges one of society’s most violent taboos.

Two Paintings to Be Contributed by Princess Parlaghy
Princess Livoff (sic) Parlaghy, the artist, has offered to paint portraits of two of this country’s greatest men for hanging in the National Art Gallery of the new National Museum, nearing completion on the Mall, and the offer has been accepted by Director Walcott. The subjects will be decided upon later at a conference between the artist and the museum authorities.
Princess Parlaghy is said to be the only woman artist to receive a bronze medal at the Chicago exposition. She has received gold medals from Pope Leo XIII, the German and Austrian emperors, and the Paris salon. She is at present spending a few weeks at Hot Springs, Va., and will come to this city in May.
