THE NEGRO A SELECTED LIST FOR SCHOOL LIBRARIES OF BOOKS BY OR ABOUT THE NEGRO IN AFRICA AND AMERICA.

1935Best.-Nr. 57636Nashville: State Department of Education 1935. Encouraging Library Acquisitions of African-American Works An interesting bibliography and guide for school librarians in Tennessee during the Great Depression and the tail end of the Harlem Renaissance. This edition was revised in November 1935 and we are unaware of the date of any earlier editions no earlier publications are recorded in OCLC. It was reprinted "through courtesy of the Julius Rosenwald fund" an endowed foundation which contributed large sums to education programs for African Americans in the first half of the 20th century. The bibliography was produced specifically to recommend books to all Black elementary and high school libraries with the mission that "If Negro children are to acquire a knowledge of and respect for the achievement of members of their own race it is essential that books dealing with this subject be made readily available to them." Titles are listed alphabetically by author within sections divided by grade level and subject; those marked with a star "are considered to be of especial value for school libraries." In addition to basic publication information each entry includes the author's race the book's current retail price and a brief annotation describing its content and usefulness to a school library. The compilers present an interesting collection of titles including works by Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston in addition to numerous other children's books histories and other titles that are lesser known today such as NAACP president Mary White Ovington's ZEKE. This list was published by the Tennessee Department of Education during Walter D. Cocking's tenure as commissioner. Shortly afterwards Cocking became dean of the University of Georgia's College of Education until he was fired by Governor Eugene Talmadge in 1941 over alleged support for integration and his connection with the progressive Rosenwald Fund. University of Georgia president Harmon Caldwell threatened to resign unless Cocking was rehired and Cocking was returned briefly to his position. This incensed Talmadge to the degree that he went on public tirade in news outlets and instituted a purge of the Board of Regents replacing them almost entirely with his own supporters using the newly stacked board to fire Cocking again anyway. The so-called "Cocking Affair" was only the first step in what would become an epidemic of ousted educators and administrators purged libraries and interference with education that resulted in all state-supported schools in Georgia losing their accreditation. A valuable look at the state of African-American education in the South in the early 1900s and a useful and interesting bibliography in its own right. Original printed grey wrappers. Small dark stain along top edge throughout otherwise internally and externally clean. Near fine. James Cook "Cocking Affair" in NEW GEORGIA ENCYCLOPEDIA online. unknown
