THE NEGRO IN THE UNITED STATES
BIBLIOGRAPHY
PREFACE
The career of Daniel Alexander Payne Murray, who served as a member of
the staff in various capacities "up to an assistant librarian" from 1871
to 1922, is a natural starting point for a discussion of Negro materials
in the Library of Congress. While serving in his first position in the
Library, as a personal assistant to the Librarian, Ainsworth R.
Spofford, Mr. Murray undertook the systematic study of "the origin and
historical growth of the colored race throughout the civilized world,"
which he hoped would result in an encyclopedic history of his race.
Almost 30 years later, he was chosen by Herbert Putnam, then just
beginning his career as Librarian, to respond to a request from
Ferdinand W. Peck, Commissioner General of the United States to the
Paris exposition of 1900, that a collection of books and pamphlets by
Afro-American authors be made a feature of the American exhibit at the
exposition. Within a period of 2 weeks, Mr. Murray prepared a
preliminary list of 223 works written by 152 Negro authors. The purpose
of this list was to aid in securing a copy of "every book and pamphlet
in existence, by a Negro Author, the same to be used in connection with
the exhibit of Negro Authorship in the Paris Exposition of 1900, and
later placed in the Library of Congress."
It was soon discovered that, owing to Dr. Spofford's foresight, the
Library of Congress was "uncommonly rich in such books and pamphlets,"
but "no little difficulty was encountered then and subsequently in
identifying them." By the time the world exposition at Paris opened in
May 1900, however, Mr. Murray had located 1,100 titles written by Negro
authors, of which about 500 were forwarded to the exposition. Thomas J.
Calloway, special agent for the U.S. Commission at the exposition, wrote
that "the most creditable showing in the exhibit is by Negro authors
collected by Mr. Daniel Murray of the library of Congress."
After the close of the Paris exposition, Mr. Murray continued to collect
works by Afro-American, Afro-European, and West Indian authors and to
amass a varied collection of Afro-Americana. At his death in 1925, the
library of Congress received by provision of his will a unique
collection of some "1,448 volumes and pamphlets, 14 broadsides, and 1
map, with the idea that it should form part of the material especially
selected by him for exhibit purposes." The books that had been sent to
the Paris exposition were kept together upon their return to the
Library. This small collection, along with Mr. Murray's bequest and a
few volumes presented to the library by Mrs. Anna Murray after her
husband's death, became the "Colored Author Collection." Many of the
titles have since been cataloged and added to the general collections.
_The Preliminary List of Books and Pamphlets by Negro Authors, for Paris
Exposition and Library of Congress_ (1900), compiled by Daniel Murray,
appears to have been the first effort on the part of the Library to draw
attention to works by and about Negroes.
In 1906 Appleton Prentiss Clark Griffin, chief of the Division of
Bibliography, directed the compilation of a _Select List of References
on the Negro Question_, published by the library. It contained entries
for 232 books and 286 periodical articles published during the period
1879-1906. The library also published in the same year a _List of
Discussions of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments_, which comprised
103 entries. Both bibliographies included titles relating primarily to
Negro suffrage and the Negro in the South and were compiled to "meet
requests by letter upon topics of current interest."
In 1940, for the 75th anniversary of the proclamation of the 13th
amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which abolished
slavery, the Library prepared and issued a bibliography of its special
materials on the Negro. In connection with this anniversary, the Library
also mounted an exhibition of books, manuscripts, and works of art and
arranged a series of concerts. The festival of music and the exhibits
that opened on December 18, 1940, vividly presented the contribution of
the American Negro to American culture.
Without question both scholars and the general public are aware that the
Library of Congress has extensive holdings on the Negro, not only
printed books and periodicals but also manuscripts, music, prints,
photographs, motion pictures, and sound recordings. This awareness is
reflected in the steady flow of requests for bibliographies and other
guides to Negro studies that the Library receives. The factors that
stimulate such requests are rooted in the national--indeed, the
worldwide--interest in the American Negro which recent social and
cultural events in this country have intensified. For many years the
Library has responded to this interest by issuing from time to time
typed lists relating to various aspects of Negro life.
The mounting interest in Negro history and culture, manifested
particularly by the introduction of courses in these subjects in high
school, college, and university curricula, has given rise to a demand
for lists of books that can be used to support such studies. The present
bibliography is designed to meet the current needs of students,
teachers, librarians, researchers, and the general public for
introductory guidance to the study of the Negro in the United States.
This bibliography is selective rather than exhaustive. Among the topics
covered are the urban Negro, relations between the races, discriminatory
practices in all areas, and efforts to obtain political and economic
freedom, as well as the education and cultural history of the Negro, his
religious life, the social conditions under which he lives, and his
historical past. Included are works depicting the lives of outstanding
Negroes--abolitionists, fugitive slaves, educators, civil rights
leaders, scientists, journalists, religious leaders, artists, athletes,
and literary figures.
The selection of many of the titles, especially in the fields of
literature and history, was based on the frequency of requests for
particular works in large library collections on the Negro and on their
inclusion in the numerous bibliographies and reading lists now being
compiled for use in junior colleges, colleges, and universities. In
addition, bibliographic lists and essays appended to such works as _From
Slavery to Freedom_, by John Hope Franklin; _North of Slavery_, by Leon
F. Litwack; _The Burden of Race: a Documentary History of Negro-White
Relations in America_, by Gilbert Osofsky; _The Negro in the Civil War_,
by Benjamin Quarles; _The Black Power Revolt_, edited by Floyd B.
Barbour; and _The Negro in the United States_, by E. Franklin Frazier,
were consulted. Use was also made of previously published bibliographies
such as Monroe Work's _Bibliography of the Negro in Africa and America_
and Erwin A. Salk's _A Layman's Guide to Negro History_.
While some books written especially for children and young people are
included, and some of the other publications cited are well adapted to
their use, no systematic effort was made to represent material of this
type. Lists such as Miles M. Jackson's _Bibliography of Negro History &
Culture for Young Readers_ may be used as guides in this field.
Identification of writers by race has not been attempted except in the
section on fiction, which lists only novels and short stories written by
representative Negro authors. While the writings of white novelists are
not cited, the importance of the treatment of Negro characters and the
educational, moral, and artistic value of works by such authors as
Howard Fast, William Faulkner, Harper Lee, Du Bose Heyward, Julia
Peterkin, Lillian Smith, Harriet Beecher Stowe, T. S. Stribling, and
Mark Twain are undisputed. Apart from fiction, the publications of both
white and Negro writers are included throughout the bibliography.
The compiler gratefully acknowledges the invaluable editorial assistance
of Mary Jane Gibson, assistant head of the Bibliography and Reference
Correspondence Section, General Reference and Bibliography Division,
Library of Congress. Miss Gibson also prepared the index. The compiler
wishes to express her appreciation as well to Ruth S. Freitag, head of
the Bibliography and Reference Correspondence Section, for helpful
suggestions and for assistance in indexing and proofreading, and to
Robert H. Land, chief of the General Reference and Bibliography
Division, for emphasizing the need for the bibliography and offering
encouragement while the work was in progress.

NOTE TO THE USER
_Scope._ The emphasis of this bibliography is on recent monographs in
the collections of the library of Congress, although a number of
important older works, a few periodicals, and several titles from the
holdings of other American libraries are included.
_Arrangement._ Entries are arranged alphabetically by author under broad
subject headings that reveal the Negro's part in numerous aspects of
American life, culture, and history. An index of names and subjects is
provided.
_Annotations._ Entries have been given brief annotations where
clarification seemed necessary. Because of the increasing importance for
the building of library collections of scholarly reprints of long
unavailable classics in Negro literature and history, indication of
reprint editions has been made where possible.
_Call numbers and location symbols._ Location of items is indicated
either by a Library of Congress call number or location symbol, or, for
material in another library, by the National Union Catalog symbol for
that library. A key to the symbols used is given on the next page.
