Notes:
"This publication was created as a part of the exhibition 'Museum as Hub: Steffani Jemison and Jamal Cyrus : Alpha's Bet Is Not Over Yet!' at the New Museum of Contemporary Art"
"'Museum as Hub: Alpha's Bet Is Not Over Yet!' is an exhibition, reading room, and discussion space inspired by the energy and politics of radical, independent Black periodicals published during the first half of the twentieth century ... The project is accompanied by an illustrated publication that borrows the form of a reader--a compendium of essays, interviews, and selections from the periodicals and posters on display."--Publisher's Web site
