Hello,
The True Reformers published a book on their organization, though I do
not have the citation. W.E.B. DuBois covered the organization in one of his
Atlanta University studies of the black community. Moreover, some one at
the LV--it is early and I cannot remember whom--did a MA thesis and an
article in the VMHB on the True Reformers.
best,
Harold
