I haven't been to the current periodicals room of the Library of Congress yet, but I just put in an appearance in the microforms room. In the old days you had to feed coins into a machine to make inferior copies of old microfilmed newspapers and such. Now, while the old microforms are there, you can do so much more. The microform readers are now hooked up to PCs and laser printers. You put your microfilm or microfiche under the lens, and when you've got what you want, properly focused, you can scan it and save it on your flash drive and/or print out the result with a laser printer (up to 50 copies total, for free). What a world, what a world . . . You can save scanned pages in three or four formats. I recall the JPEG and PDF formats. You can also perform at least some elementary image editing operations--rotate, crop, etc. It took some time for me to figure all this stuff out, so I didn't do as perfect a job as I should have. I finally figured out how to save all the scanned pages of a document in a single PDF file, but I mixed up the order of the pages in the process. So what was I up to? You may recall that in a previous adventure I discovered possibly the first African-American Esperantist, William Pickens, who was to become a major civil rights leader of the early 20th century: William Pickens: Who?s Who in Colored America http://autodidactproject.org/esperanto2010/pickens-whoswho.html Pickens wrote two articles on Esperanto in the periodical VOICE OF THE NEGRO in 1906. In addition to those two articles, I scanned one of the issue covers as a JPG I can add later. maybe next time around I can improve on what I did this time. But here are the two articles: Esperanto, the New International Language, April 1906 http://autodidactproject.org/esperanto2010/pickens-espo1.pdf "La Vojo"--Zamenhof's Poem in Esperanto, Dec 1906 http://autodidactproject.org/esperanto2010/pickens-vojo.pdf This second article is especially interesting in that he translated Zamenhof's poem into English, in addition to discussing the problem of translation and showing his sympathy for Zamenhof's ideals. I don't know offhand whether anyone else has translated this poem into English or who it was. For all I know, Pickens could have been the first. The context of the time is also worthy of note. I don't recall when the American esperanto movement really took off, but these were the early years, four years before the World Congress of 1910 in Washington. Pickens also wrote this three years before the founding of the NAACP, in which he was to play a leadership role. While scrolling through the fiche, I chanced on another article,comparing the plight of Black Americans to that of Russian Jews. The author concluded that for both groups the prospects in their respective nations were probably hopeless, and things were bound to get even worse. ou may recall that the failed Russian Revolution of 1905 unleashed yet another round of horrible pogroms which had quite an impact on Zamenhof, instigating him to push the "interna ideo" and hilelismo/homaranismo even harder. And in the USA, this was the period of the "nadir", in which black Americans found themselves in the worst situation since slavery, with all the rights they had gained from emancipation stripped away, with the system of Jim Crow consolidated and the rule of lynch law a terrifying reality. For both groups in both countries, the combination of mob violence and government repression rendered life and well being notoriously precarious. I will likely upload this little article as well. I don't know how long Pickens stuck with Esperanto. His family today is aware of the Esperanto connection, perhaps in the same way I am. Perhaps I should make an effort to enquire. I don't know whether Pickens attended the 1910 Esperanto Congress or whether he even could have, given the rigid segregation enforced in all places of business. Imagine if Zamenhhof had met Pickens and the kind of conversation they might have had.

Jen s^ia poemo pri li: "Ars Poetica #17: First Afro-American Esperantist" by Elizabeth Alexander Kaj jen la esencaj informoj pri Pickens: William Pickens: Who?s Who in Colored America http://autodidactproject.org/esperanto2010/pickens-whoswho.html Vi trovos ligojn al aliaj koncernaj pag^oj. Nu, mi trovis kaj enretigis la du konatajn artikolojn de Pickens, kiuj aperis en du numeroj de la revuo La Voc^o de la Negro en 1906. Jen la enirpag^o: http://www.autodidactproject.org/esperanto2010/pickens-negrovoice.html . . . kiu kondukas al la du artikoloj: 'Esperanto?-The New International Language', The Voice of the Negro, 3: 4 (April 1906), pp. 258-262. '?La Vojo??-Zamenhof's Poem in Esperanto', The Voice of the Negro, 4: 2 (December 1906), pp. 550-551. Mi produktis la PDF-dosierojn en biblioteko, kaj, c^ar tia afero estas nova je mi, mi iom fus^is la pag^ordon. La dua artikolo aparte interesas, c^ar Pickens tradukis la poemon de Zamenhof anglalingven. Mi ne memoras, c^u ekzistas aliaj anglaj tradukoj de "La Vojo", kaj kiu kaj kiam se jes oni tradukis g^in. C^u eble Pickens estis la unua? Pickens ankorau mencias la problemon de tradukado kaj simpatias al la idealoj de Zamenhof. Oni konsideru ankau la tiutempan socian kuntekston. Jen la fruaj jaroj de la usona Esperanto-movado, kaj Pickens verkis kvar jarojn antau ol la Universala Kongreso de 1910 en Vas^ingtono. Pickens ankau verkis tri jarojn antau ol la fondo de la NAACP, la c^efa organizo por antauenigi civitanajn rajtojn por negroj kaj aliaj. Mi hazarde trovis alian artikolon, de septembro 1906, kiu komparas la desperan situacion de negroj en Usono kaj judoj en Rusio. La autoro konkludis pesimisme pri ambau, kaj anticipas ec^ pli disastran sorton por ambau popoloj. Vi memoros, ke ondo de pogromoj sekvis la malsukcesan rusan revolucion de 1905, kiu ja dolorigis Zamenhof kaj firmigis lian engag^on de la interna ideo kaj hilelismo/homaranismo. En Usono, c^i tiu periodo estas nomita la nadiro, kiam negroj suferis la firmigon de rasapartiga sistemo, la plej malbona situacio post emancipig^o el sklaveco, sen lauleg^aj homaj rajtoj kaj je kapricoj de eksterleg^aj murdemaj huliganoj. Por ambau popoloj la vivo estis stato de timo kaj teruro. Mi enretigos ankau c^i tiun artikolon. Mi ne scias, kiom longe Esperanto okupis Pickens. Lia aktuala familio scias pri la konekso kun Esperanto, sed mi ne scias--eble mi provos enketon--c^u ekzistas pluaj informoj. Mi ne scias c^u Pickens partoprenis la UK de 1910 au c^u li ec^ povis partopreni, konsidere de la rigida rasapartigo kiu regis en c^iaj komercaj instancoj kiel en la cetera c^iutaga vivo. Mi apenau povas imagi renkonton inter Zamenhof kaj Pickens, kaj kia konversacio rezultus. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

By the onset of World War I in 1914 there were 1800 such clubs. These clubs that promoted a common universal language were an early expression of the desire for an international or global community. A number of religious organizations also promoted transnational social and cultural activities, like the YWCA, founded in 1894 and the social gospel movement that was reaching its peak during Bunche's youth. Even the sports world reflected a growing global consciousness with the revival of the Olympic games and the founding of the International Olympic Committee in 1894."

Zamenhof! 16 Dec 2009 http://jamesfallows.theatlantic.com/archives/2009/12/esperabto.php There's no real substance here, but also no mockery, unless one takes one of the links provided as mockery. It is, though, just a blog toss-off, not a considered essay on the subject. And publicity alone is good publicity. One can rarely expect more than vacuity in the zombie mass media world, even for a middlebrow audience. If Fallows were to become more intimately involved with Esperanto, would he perform Fallotio? ___________________________________________________ "If I hadn't learned to live without a culture and a society, acculturation would have broken my heart a thousand times." ?

And this writer is no less than a relation of abolitionist John Brown: "The Russian Jew and The American Negro" by John D. Swain http://www.autodidactproject.org/esperanto2010/negrovoice-russianjew.html There are a few statements that would make a contemporary person wince, but this article is a forceful and bleak portrait of an historical moment of two terrorized peoples. One can only imagine how Zamenhof would have felt about this had he been better informed about the "land of liberty" he spoke nonsense about in Jim Crow Washington. (William Pickens, where were you?) Of course Zamenhof could not have spoken one word of the truth, regardless of his knowledge or feelings, or he would not have made it out of Washington alive. (Still, we would have got to see the official representatives of South Carolina and Louisiana crap their pants.) In any case, this linkage of the social conditions on two continents (were there other Esperantists who made this connection back then?) gives us a forceful feeling of what makes Zammy run, as well as of why Esperanto might have mattered to William Pickens. There is, of course, more to Esperanto history on this question, e.g.: "Misisipi" de Lejb Malah^ (La kadavro de Johano Brown putras en la tomb' . . . ) At 04:51 PM 12/13/2009, Ralph Dumain wrote: >Poetino Elizabeth Alexander, who verkis la >inauguran poemon por Barack Obama, asertas ke >William Pickens (1881-1954) estas la unua >Afrikdevena-Usona Esperantisto.

Zamenhof and the Shadow People The amazing story of how Esperanto came to be. Esther Schor The New Republic December 30, 2009 http://www.tnr.com/article/books-and-arts/ll-zamenhof-and-the-shadow-people By now many of you have probably seen this. I wouldn't call Zamenhof my household god, but otherwise I am very pleased to see this article, in which Esperanto takes second place to Zamenhof, meaning that the picture of Zamenhof--his underlying motivations, what he tried to accomplish in the various phases of his life--has finally migrated from the small world of Zamenhof Esperanto scholars that have emerged since the 1970s to the non-Esperantist public at large. Esther Schor has been engaging the general public on a number of fronts, and if she speaks on this theme at the DC kongreso in May, then I won't have to, since she has already accomplished with Zamenhof what I only recently set out to do. The "shadow people" were the Jews of Eastern Europe, and "Hilelismo" was a key phase in Zamenhof's overall trajectory, wherein the Jewish question and the quest for a universal language again merge. Schor focuses on this phase, but also covers the various twists and turns of Zamenhof's personal trajectory as well as of the Esperanto movement, showing the English-speaking public how complex was the terrain that Zamenhof sought to navigate and makes sense out of his strategic maneuvers. She also illustrates the important point about how the twists and turns of history elude our various attempts to get a grip on it. This was as true for the various political and cultural positions taken by East European Jewry as it was for the Esperantists seeking the universal adoption of their language. A century ago who could have imagined the twisted course the 20th century would take? It turns out that Esther Schor and I already crossed paths, though she wouldn't know it. I attended her talk on her book on Emma Lazarus at the DC Jewish Community Center a few years ago, which was pretty inspiring. Then I had no idea she was interested in Zamenhof or Esperanto. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
