The MJP collection hosts 148 issues of Crisis edited by Du Bois between 1910 and 1922. They provide a cultural component to the Harlem Renaissance and a theoretical component to black liberation and historical record of negro repression. This magazine was for the talented tenth, educated blacks, but Du Bois had a longer view of black liberation. His Crisis biography of John Brown shows the latter's impact on black thought post emancipation.
