Description

In 1920, as Black art and writing flourished during the Harlem Renaissance, W.E.B. Du Bois created the first magazine aimed specifically at Black youth.  Titled “The Brownies’ Book: A Monthly Magazine for Children of the Sun", the magazine featured celebrated Black creatives of the time.  Nearly 100 years later, Dr. Karida Brown and Charly Parker have revived and expanded upon Du Bois' work to “showcase new art and writing for children” and created and published "The New Brownies’ Book: A Love Letter to Black Families."
