    Extractions: John B. Cade Library Black History Theme 2003: The Souls of Black Folk: Centennial Reflections Americans have recognized black history annually since 1926, first as "Negro History Week" and later as "Black History Month. " What you might not know is that black history had barely begun to be studied—or even documented—when the tradition originated. Although blacks have been in America at least as far back as colonial times, it was not until the 20th century that they gained a respectable presence in the history books. We owe the celebration of Black History Month, and more importantly, the study of black history, to Dr. Carter G. Woodson . Born to parents who were former slaves, he spent his childhood working in the Kentucky coal mines and enrolled in high school at age twenty. He graduated within two years and later went on to earn a Ph.D. from Harvard. The scholar was disturbed to find in his studies that history books largely ignored the black American population—and when blacks did figure into the picture, it was generally in ways that reflected the inferior social position they were assigned at the time. Established Journal of Negro History Woodson, always one to act on his ambitions, decided to take on the challenge of writing black Americans into the nation's history. He established the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (now called the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History) in 1915, and a year later founded the widely respected Journal of Negro History. In 1926, he launched Negro History Week as an initiative to bring national attention to the contributions of black people throughout American history.

    Extractions: (1825-1911), lecturer, author, and reformer Born in Baltimore, Maryland, on September 24, 1825, Frances Watkins was the daughter of free black parents. She grew up in the home of an uncle whose school for black children she attended. At age 13 she went to work as a domestic in a Baltimore household but continued her education on her own. About 1845 she published a collection of verses and prose writings under the title Forest Leaves. During 1850-52 she taught sewing at Union Seminary, a work-study school operated by the African Methodist Episcopal Church near Columbus, Ohio. Later she taught in Little York, Pennsylvania. The rising heat of the abolitionist controversy and the consequent increasing stringency of slave laws in Southern and border states at length drew her into the public arena. In August 1854 in New Bedford, Massachusetts, she delivered a public address on "Education and the Elevation of the Colored Race." Her success there led to a two-year lecture tour in Maine for the state Anti-Slavery Society, and from 1856 to 1860 she spoke throughout the East and Midwest. In addition to her antislavery lecturing she read frequently from her second book, Poems on Miscellaneous Subjects (1854), which was quite successful and was several times enlarged and reissued. It addressed the subjects of motherhood, separation, and death and contained the antislavery poem "Bury Me in a Free Land." Generally written in conventional rhymed quatrains, her poetry was noted for its simple rhythm and biblical imagery. Its narrative voice reflected the storytelling style of the oral tradition. She also contributed to various periodicals; her story "The Two Offers" in the

Harper's mother died before she was three years old, leaving her an orphan. Harper was raised by her uncle, William Watkins, a teacher at the Academy for Negro Youth and a radical political figure in civil rights. Watkins was a major influence on Harper's political, religious, and social views. Harper attended the Academy for Negro Youth and the rigorous education she received, along with the political activism of her uncle, affected and influenced her poetry. After she left school in 1839, Harper's first poems were published in abolitionist periodicals, such as "Frederick Douglass' Paper." In 1845, Harper's first book of poems

RELATED SITES "The three novels collected in this volume represent a major discovery in American literary history," according to Frances Smith Foster, a professor of literature at the University of California, San Diego, and the editor of Three Rediscovered Novels: Minnie's Sacrifice, Sowing and Reaping, and Trial and Triumph , written by the late Frances E. W. Harper (1825-1911). Foster originally set out to research and write an article about Harper, an African American author, poet, orator and social reformer of the mid-nineteenth century, for a Feminist Press series on "lost" or undervalued writers. Prior to Foster's research, Frances E.W. Harper was cited as the author of at least eight books of poetry, a short story, "The Two Offers" (1859) and a novel, Iola Leroy (1892). What Foster fortuitously uncovered through determined research, years of digging, and a bit of luck, are an additional three novels, written by Harper and published in serial format for the Afro-Protestant periodical

    Extractions: (Aunt Chloe) Aunt Chloe The Drunkard's Child The Slave Mother Frances Ellen Watkins was born September 25, 1825, in Baltimore, Maryland. After receiving an education at her uncle's school, and working in a book store, she turned to publishing. A book of poetry entitled Forest leaves came out in 1845, no copy of which has survived. Five years later, Watkins left Maryland for Ohio to teach at Union Seminary near Columbus and then in 1852 at Little York, Pennsylvania. In 1854 her second book of poems appeared, Poems on Miscellaneous Subjects (Boston, 1854) and sold 10,000 copies. That year she lived in Philadelphia at an underground railroad stop, by which slaves were moved north to safety. Her lecture career then flourished: she travelled through New England, Upper Canada, Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania until 1861, generally talking on civil rights and education for Afro-Americans, and temperance. Watkins married Fenton Harper in 1860 and they settled on a farm near Columbus until his death in 1864. They had one daughter, Mary. After the civil war, Harper published

    Extractions: Francis Ellen Watkins Harper (1825-1911) Contributing Editor: Elizabeth Ammons Two primary issues in teaching Harper are: (1) the high-culture aesthetic in which students have been trained makes it hard for them to appreciate Harper and find ways to talk about her; (2) most students' ignorance of nineteenth-century African-American history deprives them of a strong and meaningful historical context in which to locate Harper's work. To address the first issue, I ask students to think about the questions and methods of analysis that they may bring to the study of literature in the classroom. What do we look for in "good" literature? Their answers are many but usually involve the following: It should be "interesting" and deal with "important" ideas, themes, topics. It should be intellectually challenging. The style should be sophisticatedby which they mean economical, restrained, and learned without being pretentious. It should need analysis i.e., have many hidden points and many "levels" of meaning that readers (students) do not see until they get to class. Then we talk about these criteria: "Interesting" and "important" by whose standards? Theirs? All of theirs? Whose, then?

    Extractions: "The Two Offers " known as the first short story published in the United States by any black author Plot Summary Formal Analysis Character Analysis Historical Background ... Back to English 323 page Plot Summary "The Two Offers" is a short story about two cousins, Laura Lagrange and Janette Alston, of very different upbringings. The story begins with a discussion between the two young women about marriage; Laura is pondering over which (of two) marriage proposals should she accept. However, Janette feels as though if she has to ponder from indecisiveness then, she does not love either of the two men. Furthermore, Janette feels that if Laura does choose in spite of this fact, she will be marrying only out of convenience and not what she should; which would result in an unsuccessful marital future. Needless to say, Laura disagrees and feels that Janette is speaking of a subject she is, at best, ignorant of. Marriage out of convenience is better than no marriage (or being an old maid) at all. Through Laura, Frances Harper paints a bright picture of a beautiful and light-hearted young woman, who becomes a solemn one as the result of the pressure and the lack of spiritual strength and beauty. Harper is also very descriptive in the illustration of Laura's husband and his lifestyle. Moreover, the description of Laura's husband's, whose name is never revealed, upbringing and the beginning of their lives together paints a cold and lonely home, a "loveless" home. On another note, I feel that Harper uses the insignificance of the husband's name to show the great significance he had on her life as her formulated identity; and that he was not exactly insignificant just because he was not home.

The school may instruct and the church may teach, but the homes is an institution older than the church and antedates schools, and that is the place where children should be trained for useful citizenship on earth and a hope of holy companionship in heaven.
