Early magazine and newspaper articles

Big thanks to David McCain, one of my kindred spirits in chronicling early
queer music history. He painstakingly copied these articles from a library collection
(hence the 'second hand' quality on some, but I'm grateful for what we have).

This first section are from three main sources for the articles,
The Chicago Defender, New York Daily Mirror, and Ebony Magazine.
