The popu- larity of the books has been based on their usefulness as networking docu­ ments for Black and other Americans.

Black organizations have enriched every aspect of American life, " wrote Hugh Cullman, Vice Chairman, Philip Morris Companies Inc., in the intro­ duction to the book He added that those familiar with the Guide know "that this small booklet does two very big jobs Not only is it a convenient directory; it also provides an encouraging overview of the organized Black community." Stanley S. Scott, Vice President, Director of Corporate Relations and Assistant to the Chairman, Philip Morris Companies Inc., told the reception guests: "The Guide pays tribute to the dedication and the hard work of the people who struggle to keep these groups going —people doing a lot with a little This is a tribute to black leadership —they are carrying out the long­ time commitment to progress in the spirit of W.E.B. DuBois and of Booker T Washington." Each major, national, civil rights, religious, fraternal and economic group is listed. It also lists 31 Black state legislative caucuses. Also appearing are many local organizations that provide such unique and positive services that they were listed to prompt the development of similar groups. Opera North," for instance, is a Philadelphia, PA-based opera company that provides additional opportunities for Black performers and musicians in grand opera The "Legislative Coalition Caucus of Utah" is led by the state's only Black and only Hispanic legislators, one of each, who have organized 60 business, religious, civic and community supporters to work on behalf of that state's minority populations. "The Doll League" is an advocate group working to improve the quality of life for disadvantaged children and young adults through annual fund- raising programs. And "The Afro American Historical and Genealogical Society" was founded as a result of the "Roots" phenomenon created by Alex Haley and it encourages scholarly research in Afro American history and genea­ logy."
