African-American Collection - Various

The "African-American Collection" is a tribute to the rich literary heritage of African American writers, spotlighting significant works that shaped the cultural landscape of the United States. This collection, recognized during Black History Month in February 2007, draws from two pivotal resources: "African American Writers (Bookshelf)" and "The Book of American Negro Poetry," edited by James Weldon Johnson. Johnson's anthology played a crucial role in inspiring the Harlem Renaissance, establishing a lasting African-American literary tradition.
