Bill and Miriam Crawford were well-known activists in Philadelphia from the late 1940s. Many people first met Bill when they visited his store, the New World Book Fair at 113 S. 40th Street in West Philadelphia. Open from 1961 to 1974, the store featured Marxist and African American books, serving as an invaluable resource and gathering place for many people interested in progressive cases. The Crawfords’ home was an equally important setting for formal and informal political work. Bill Crawford began a habit of placing significant memorabilia—posters, handbills, clippings, announcements from campaigns and struggles—on the walls of the family dining room in the Parkside neighborhood of West Philadelphia. Eventually, the dining room was covered with more than 500 items: four walls collaged with 40 years of social change memorabilia. The walls of their dining room chronicle four decades of their political life, as well as four decades of Philadelphia movement history.
