The New Negro : A History in Documents 1887-1937 edited by Martha A, Patterson and Henry Lewis Gates Jr.

"This collection is a marvel! People who are interested in the remarkable journey of self-creation by individuals caught up in the whirlwind of white supremacy will revel in the words of Black people who dared to imagine themselves otherwise. And those who fight today, amid the storm and stress, will find within these pages resources to take into battle. This is a book you must have!"-Eddie S. Glaude Jr., New York Times bestselling author of Begin Again: James Baldwin's America and Its Urgent Lessons for Our Own
