Twentieth Century Negro Poets, Sheila Higgins

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

According to Matthew Arnold an open mind is one of the chief essentials for true literary criticism. One is impressed by the truthfulness of this statement when he seeks to evaluate Negro poetry.

The term, Negro poetry, has several interpretations. In its most general sense, the one in which it is used in this paper, it means poetry written by Negroes on any subject.

The Negro Problem In The South, Sidney T. Matthews Jr

Honors Theses

To the south, it has been for nearly seventy years the chief public question, overshadowing all others, and withdrawing her from due participation in the direction and benefit of the National Government. It has kept alive section feeling, has inflamed partisanship, distorted party policies, barred complete reconciliation, cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and hundreds if not thousands of lives, and stands ever ready, like Banquo's ghost, to burst forth …
