A Narrative of the Negro - Paperback

Are you struggling to create a well-balanced Black history program? Do you regret how little you know about the African continent and the history of its descendants? Leila Amos Pendleton, a community activist and teacher, felt the same way in the early twentieth century. Her search led her to the Library of Congress and the libraries at Yale and Harvard in search of answers. She felt that if young White children were being taught to love the land of their "kinfolk," lands they had never seen with their own eyes, then young Black children should be taught about African history so they could take pride in where they came from, too. Years later, this rich resource is available, with information about early African civilizations, the African diaspora, and Caribbean and South American Black history. In describing American Black history in the early 20th century, the work includes a full chapter on the differing opinions, but the common end goals, of Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois.
