Black Thought and Culture Many
leaders within the black community have devoted much of their creative
lives addressing issues central to the ongoing struggles of their race.
The result is a legacy of nonfiction prose and oratory unlike any
other.
Black teachers, artists, politicians, religious leaders, athletes, war
veterans, entertainers, and other leaders form the mainstay of this
corpus.
Unlike their white counterparts, black leaders have had to wrestle with
the issues of their race alongside the issues of leadership in their
chosen
professions. They have been forced to defend a position, to justify an
action, to correct the perception of an event, to protest an injustice,
to celebrate cultural achievement, and to subvert the agenda of a
white-dominated
society.
Black
Thought and Culture is intended to present a wide range of
previously
inaccessible material, including letters by athletes such as Jackie
Robinson,
correspondence by Ida B. Wells, prefatory essays by Amiri Baraka,
political
leaflets by Huey Newton, and interviews with Paul Robeson. Much of the
material is fugitive, and almost twenty percent of the collection has
not
been published previously. (from the web site)
Ultimately the database aspires to provide approximately 100,000 pages from monographs, essays, articles, speeches, and interviews written by leaders of the black community through 1975. Currently the collection begins with the works of Frederick Douglass and is slated to include the works of W.E.B. Du Bois, Carter G. Woodson, Alain Locke, Mary McLeod Bethune, Booker T. Washington, Marcus Garvey, Langston Hughes, Richard Wright, Ralph Ellison, Ralph Bunche, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jr., Angela Davis, Houston Baker, Jesse Jackson, Ida B. Wells, Bobby Seale, and many others. The collection supports research in black studies, political science, American history, music, literature, and art. |
