In the last two hundred years, black writers have contributed some of the most spirited and important works to American literature. These range from early narratives depicting slavery to modern works dealing with the lingering effects of slavery, racism and apartheid. In fact, some of the most risky work these days is being written not only by African Americans, but Americans of Dominican, Jamaican, and Haitian descent. Not to mention black writers in Africa and Europe. The First African American Writer Many of the earliest published black writers were slaves and abolitionists. First to make a name was Phillis Wheatley , a slave brought from Africa as a child and sold to a Boston merchant. Wheatley spoke no English but by the time she was sixteen, under the tutelage of her owners, had mastered the language. Her interest in literature led her to write and publish

How to Write a Press Release www.iUniverse.com Press coverage is one of the most effective means available to generate buzz about your book. When you contact newspapers and other print media, you should always include a press release, an essential component of any media campaign. Here are some tips for writing a press release, including a template that you can cut and paste onto your own letterhead. MAKE IT ONE PAGE IF POSSIBLE: Editors are busy people who can’t take the time to read a lengthy press release. Make it short and professional! CONTACT INFORMATION: All press releases follow the same format. The release starts with your contact information so editors can reach you for more information. HEADLINE The headline grabs the reader; so make it short, simple, and effective! Think about effective newspaper headlines and write in a similar style. PRESS RELEASE Start the first line of your news story with the dateline [date of the release and your city, for example: January 1, 2002, San Jose, California).

Things were not a great deal better by 1982 when ALA recognized the award, although by that time two black authors, Virginia Hamilton and Mildred Taylor, had won the Newbery, and Leo and Diane Dillon (an interracial team) had secured two Caldecotts. For those who have been ignored, denied their due place as creators, as readers, as a public, there is a pure existential value in being acknowledged. There is real power in saying, We are here, we do count, we have something to say. The more frequently and powerfully this point is made, the more new artists are likely to join the field. But there is an undertow beneath this swell of success. By insisting on testing the racial identity of its winners, the CSK shifts its focus from literature to biography. Who you are, which box or boxes you check on the census form, comes first. Your community, your ethnicity, comes before your talent. And as long as the prize is essentially a community honoring and encouraging its own, it is not clear how the rest of the public is meant to react. read well about them, too.

African-American Biographies for Children and Young Adults Audrey Thompson Given the problems inherent in children's and young adult biography as a genre, teachers should encourage students to consult multiple sources that may problematize, illuminate, or complicate the accounts given in their textbooks and/or trade books. Some of the questions that teachers and students may wish to consider include the following: 1) Do the biographical treatments they are studying conflict in any way? How significant are these discrepancies? What would seem to account for the differences? 2) What assurance do readers have that a particular biographical treatment is reliable? What might we want to know about the author, illustrator, and publisher? Do other biographies shed a different light on this figure? How should the curriculum prepare students to think about differences in biographical approach? 3) How do more recently published biographies compare with books published several decades ago? 4) Do publishers during particular time periods seem to prefer certain themes or areas of focus? for example, are there more biographies about artists or sports figures or entertainers published during some periods and more biographies about political figures published during other periods? If so, what might account for such patterns?

In a field of seven, the 42-year-old state senator captured more than 52 percent of the vote. His closest competitor, State Comptroller Dan Hynes, polled less than 24 percent. The third finisher, Blair Hull, won 10 percent of the vote. Hull had been leading the field after spending $29 million of his own money on the race, but his campaign ran aground after divorce records revealed an incident of domestic violence. Some analysts argue that to win votes among the general electorate these new-school black candidates must move beyond racial grievance and civil rights modalities. Several black politicians have adopted this model, including Reps. Harold Ford Jr. (D-Tenn.) and Gregory W. Meeks (D-N.Y). Cory Booker, the Ivy League-educated candidate for mayor of Newark, N.J., also sought to embody this new-school mode in his unsuccessful run. But many black voters are wary of such candidates and some initially withheld support for Obama because he was projected as such a post-race candidate. There even were rumors that he was cozying up to the Democratic Leadership Council.

This book remedies the lack of information and surprises by the African American's vigour in expression and talent. . . . An artistic explosion occurred in the mid-twentieth century, whichproduced some outstandingly good paintings and sculptures.

The bibliography lists selected resources of the New York State Library that document and comment on the experience of African Americans in the history of the United States. In addition to primary sources and significant historical works, the bibliography contains references to bibliographies and research aids. Although the bibliography covers the African-American experience from the colonial period to the present, it emphasizes the post World War II period and the civil rights movement that followed the Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka. The bibliography includes the major civil rights legislation of the past three decades, records the voices of African-American activism and protest, and illustrates the impact African-American voters and political candidates have had on the electoral process. The bibliography also focuses on the work of African-American historians and social scientists, including not only classic texts by John Hope Franklin and Carter G. Woodson, the "Father of Black History," but also works by William Junius Wilson and Shelby Steele that reflect current African-American debate on social policy.
