American Negro.

Sword."
"Except for 'John Brown's
Body' and 'Harlem Shadows'," Dr.
Fenderson said, "there is no other
narrative or epic poem in Ameri
can literature dealing with the
spectrum -of the Negro, projecting
in breadth and depth his involved
and fascinating history.

tudes, and the final victorious ac
complishments of a minority group
unique in the history of man
kind."
A former newspaperman, Fcn
