    Description

    Humorous  stories of the daily life and wisdom of the unfortunately named Simple. Originally written for the African American readership of The Chicago Defender.
    "No matter what a man does, sick or well, something is liable to happen, especially if you are colored" Very timely!
    This copy once belonged to Delyte Morris (1906-1982) well known educator and later Chancellor / reformer/ transformer of Southern Illinois University,  as evidenced by Hughes' inscription dated 1954
