This sweeping anthology celebrates the richly textured black voices of the South, their cadences steeped in the sonorous heritage of the oral tradition. Represented here are such novelists as Zora Neale Hurston and Richard Wright, poets Nikki Giovanni and James Weldon Johnson, playwrights Tom Dent and Kalamu Ya Salaam, and nonfiction authors Martin Luther King, Jr., and Maya Angelou.
