Abstract | Children's books produced from the 1920s to the 1950s contain many examples of negative African-American stereotypes. The role of librarians in recognizing these stereotypes and their attempts to change the types of books available to their patrons is discussed. One hurdle they faced was publishers' unwillingness to create books with positive black characters. (MAK) |
