INTRODUCTION
Out of the social conditions of slavery discrimi-
nation has grcwm a tradition of literature in toerica which
has been virtually ignored in our schools. The literature
of Mack Americans la baaed upon the traditions of folk
literature and social protest which present a self-revelation
unsurpassed in literature written by white American®, Her-
bert Hill states in flnaer and Beyond that
the literature created by Negroes is not only a pro-
test against the irrational racial situation, not only
an attempt to explain the unique status of American
Negroes to white society and to the world, but, most
significantly, the literature of American Negroes is
an attempt to explain the racial situation to them-
selves (3, p« xv)•
The purpose of a unit in Negro literature would be first
of all to promote language development and to enhance the
students' appreciation of good literature. Quality will not
be sacrificed in order to present the literature of Negroes.
Just as only white American writers of quality are considered
worth studying in our high schools, only Negro writers of
quality will be considered worth studying.
b second purpose for such a unit Is to promote growth
in the tinder standing and appreciation of the Negro and his
contribution to literature. Part of the racial problem in
Araerica is derived from the lack of understanding of Negroes
