Cover states the title as Kelly Miller's Authentic History of the Negro in the World War. It is fair to the Negro. Kelly Miller (July 18, 1863-December 29, 1939) was an American mathematician, sociologist, essayist, newspaper columnist, author, and an important figure in the intellectual life of black America for close to half a century. He was known as "the Bard of the Potomac". Appointed professor of mathematics at Howard in 1890, Miller introduced sociology into the curriculum in 1895, serving as professor of sociology from 1895 to 1934. Miller graduated from Howard University School of Law in 1903. In 1907, Miller was appointed dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. His deanship lasted twelve years, and in that time, the college changed significantly. The old classical curriculum was modernized and new courses in the natural sciences and the social sciences were added. Miller was an avid supporter of Howard University and actively recruited students to the school. In 1914, he planned a Negro-American Museum and Library. He persuaded Jesse E. Moorland to donate his large private library on blacks in Africa and the United States to Howard University and it became the foundation for his Negro-Americana Museum and Library center. Miller was a prolific writer of articles and essays which were published in major newspapers, magazines, and several books, including Out of the House of Bondage. Miller assisted W. E. B. Du Bois in editing The Crisis, the official journal of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Miller started off publishing his articles anonymously in the Boston Transcript. He wrote about both radical and conservative groups. Miller also shared his views in the Educational Review, Dial, Education, and the Journal of Social Science. His anonymous articles later became subject for his lead essay in his book Race Adjustment published in 1908. Miller suggested that African Americans had the right to protest against the unjust circumstances that came with the rise of white supremacy in the South. Miller supported racial harmony, thrift, and institution building. In 1917, Miller published an open letter to President Woodrow Wilson in the Baltimore Afro-American against lynching, which he called "national in its range and scope, " and called the government's failure to stop it "the disgrace of democracy." Miller published Kelly Miller's History of the World War for Human Rights which included "A wonderful Array of Striking Pictures Made from Recent Official Photographs, Illustrating and Describing the New and Awful Devices Used in the Horrible Methods of Modern Warfare, together with Remarkable Pictures of the Negro in Action in Both Army and Navy" in 1919. Derived from an obituary for Rev. William Schiebel from the Washington Post: The Rev. William Albert Schiebel served for 50 years as pastor of Mount Olivet Lutheran Church in Washington. Dr. Schiebel retired as the pastor of Mount Olivet in 1984 after having spent almost his entire ministry there. He helped organize the church in 1931 while he was an intern at a Lutheran seminary. After serving as assistant pastor of a Lutheran Church in St. Louis, he returned to Washington in 1934 as the pastor of Mount Olivet Church. Founded as an African American church, Mount Olivet met initially at the Phyllis Wheatley YMCA at Ninth Street and Rhode Island Avenue NW and later moved to a sanctuary on Vermont Avenue. During his pastorate, Dr. Schiebel and other members of the church formed a coalition of black Lutheran churches and supported civil rights activities, including the 1963...
