Book Excerpt

The JEH Project's new, edited and annotated edition of A Nickel and a Prayer was published in 2011 by West Virginia University Press as part of Regenerations, a new series dedicated to renewing scholarly interest in out-of-print books by African American writers.

The following is a preview of a chapter excerpted from the second edition of Hunter's autobiography, which was published in 1941 by Parthenon Press in Nashville, Tennessee, yet copyrighted in 1940 by Elli Kani Publishing Company.
