A pair of rare programs issued for the 1956 and 1957 benefits for the March of Dimes Fashion Extravaganza at the Latin Quarters in Detroit. The programs include information on the organization's committee, hostesses, sponsors, and more. The event itself is titled, "Fashion in Colorama" in the earlier program and "Spring Fashions in Symphony" in the latter, with a schedule of events listed in both cases. Each program is profusely illustrated with photographs pertaining to the event itself, but also in the numerous advertisements which populate both throughout. The ads feature a wide variety of local Detroit businesses, providing critical information on commercial entities both owned by African Americans in and around Detroit, and also those friendly to the local African American community. The only institutional holdings for these programs in OCLC reside at the Detroit Public Library.
Price: $450
