The Brownies' Book

Cover of June 1921 issue

  • ... that one of the goals of The Brownies' Book (pictured), the first African American publication for children, was to develop The Talented Tenth and leaders in the black community?

Created by Mindmatrix (talk). Self nominated at 17:54, 29 December 2014 (UTC).

  • Symbol voting keep.svg Great article. I read Du Bois' book The Souls of Black Folk in college and think he's a fascinating figure. I was glad to learn something new about him. Article is new and of sufficient length. I see no issues with NPOV. Citations are largely to academic publications and encyclopedias. All of the text appears to be supported by citations. Copying a few randomly-selected sentences into Google does not show any issues with plagiarism. Most of the sources are offline, so I'll make a good-faith assumption that there are no issues with close paraphrasing. All of the hooks appear to be supported by references (I might quibble that the source actually says that Langston Hughes' first poetry was published in The Brownies' Book, not that his first work was published there, but that's minor). The hooks are all interesting. I verified that QPQ was completed. Nice job.GabrielF (talk) 02:46, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
