- James_Ferdinand_Morton,_Jr. abstract "James Ferdinand Morton, Jr. (1870-1941) was an anarchist writer and political activist of the 1910s and 1920s, a notable museum curator, and a close friend of H.P. Lovecraft.Morton was born in Littleton, Massachusetts and attended Harvard University where he was a classmate of W.E.B. Du Bois. He graduated from Harvard in 1892. He campaigned actively for civil rights for blacks, was a member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and published The Curse of Race Prejudice (1906). Morton edited anarchist journals such as Free Society, and did editorial and writing work for journals such as Discontent, The Demonstrator, The Truth Seeder, and Emma Goldman's Mother Earth.He practiced law for some years in New York. He was also involved in political causes such as: safe birth control and free love; and anti-censorship.He was also interested in languages and in writing. He was vice-president of the Esperanto League for North America, and was the lead teacher of that language at The Ferrer Center (a long-running anarchist school) in New York City. He was actively involved in the amateur journalism movement, a leading member of the Blue Pencil Club of Brooklyn, and former President of the National Amateur Press Association (NAPA).His close friendship with the author H.P. Lovecraft is today perhaps the feature of his biography which arouses the most interest. Morton was a key member of the Kalem Club, the close circle of friends around Lovecraft in New York City in the mid 1920s.Morton was an active student of mineralogy and a leading member of the Thomas Paine Natural History Association. In the mid 1920s he was offered and took the post of head museum curator at the new museum at Paterson, New Jersey - then a regional locus of anarchism - where he would build a mineralogy collection which was admired by nationally and internationally. This job enabled him to marry the writer Pearl K. Merritt in 1934. Morton became a leader in the American Association of Museums, and a leading member of the New York Mineralogical Club. Locally he enjoyed walking with the radical Paterson Rambling Club.He died in 1941, due to being struck by a moving car.Writings: Anarchy, by Enrico Malatesta, and Is it all a dream?
