Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

This is the 18th issues of BLK Magazine published May 1990. The front cover, printed with a tint of purple, features an image of Michael Jones, the Volunteer Coordinator of the Minority AIDS Project in Los Angeles, standing in front of room people, presumably volunteers for the program. In the upper left corner, [BLK] is printed in bold, white, uppercase letters within a purple rectangular box. The “K” in “BLK” is slightly obscured by Jones’ raised right hand. Directly above the purple text box and to the right, black text reads [Vol. 2, No. 5, Whole No. 18, May 1990]. Below [BLK] are the three headlines for the cover story and two feature articles: [The Black Community and / Volunteerism], [The Rhythm Nation and / Nadirah Ali], and [The BLK Guide to / Sneakers].
