The six poets represented in thiemmolume wrote during the first
decades of this century, a period after Reconstruction and before the
Harlem Renaissance when a new generation of African-Americans
continued the struggle against injustice, violence, and hypocrisy,
and strove for the betterment of their race.
The poetry of these writers, while to some extent conventional, even
derivative, is nevertheless noteworthy for what Pemberton in her
introduction calls "its emphatic proclamation of self-worth, dignity,
and membership in a community of upstanding and proud black people."
