The Messenger was the third most popular magazine of the Harlem Renaissance after The Crisis and Opportunity. Unlike the other two magazines, The Messenger was not tied to a civil rights organization. Labor activist A. Philip Randolph and economist Chandler Owen started the magazine in 1917 to advance the cause of socialism to the black masses. They believed that a socialist society was the only one that would be free from racism.

The socialist ideology of The Messenger "the only magazine of scientific radicalism in the world published by Negroes," was reflected in the pieces and authors published in its pages. The Messenger Reader contains poetry, stories, and essays from Paul Robeson, Zora Neale Hurston, Wallace Thurman, and Dorothy West.

The Messenger Reader, will be a welcome addition to the critically acclaimed Modern Library Harlem Renaissance series.

Immediate sloughing of dead skin
I love this exfoliant and I in fact have a few of them. It does smell like rice water, and immediately upon rubbing it on your face, you start getting little rolls of dead skin sloughing off. It doesn't burn or sting, so I'm really not sure how it does it, but my skin feels amazing after- so smooth and soft! I'm obsessed!

Great product!
Style: Deep Moisturizing, Size: 1.76 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love this stuff! My mom introduced this to me while I was visiting her, and within 3 days of using it I knew I needed to order one for myself. It has no smell, goes on buttery soft, and soaks in well. It is not heavy at all. At night I layer it on thicker and during the day I put a very thin layer on under my makeup. My skin is so much softer and hydrated. I have had small bumps on my cheeks for so long and they were gone within 3 days. My skin looks dewy and soft. I read reviews of other brands that smelled, were oily, or too heavy. This is none of those things and it is a great price!

Best Beef Tallow Cream I’ve Tried
Style: Deep Moisturizing, Size: 1.76 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Exactly what i was looking for, some of the beef tallow creams have a weird consistency which i don’t love wearing during the day. This cream is perfect for day and night. smells very good, application is perfect not greasy, moisturizing, soft. I love it! 10/10, will be buying again 💗
