AN ANNOTATED LIST OF BOOKS AND AUDIOVISUAL MATERIALS RECOMMENDED FOR TEACHING THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF NEGROES TO AMERICAN LIFE AND THE NEGRO HERITAGE AND TRADITIONS IS PRESENTED. THE NOTES INCLUDED WITH EACH ENTRY DESCRIBE THE UNIQUE FEATURES WHICH WOULD APPEAL TO SPECIFIC CURRICULA INTERESTS. THE SELECTION GUIDE SHOULD BE OF PARTICULAR VALUE TO SMALL SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN SELECTING AND RECOMMENDING MATERIALS FOR FACTUAL INFORMATION ON THE AMERICAN NEGRO. THE WORK IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE TEACHERS AND LIBRARIANS WITH A BUYING LIST WHICH WILL HELP THEM DEVELOP BOOK COLLECTIONS AND TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PUPILS TO OBSERVE THE INTERRELATIONSHIP OF PEOPLE WITHIN THE UNITED STATES. THREE LIBRARIANS WITH EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE IN WORK WITH NEGRO AMERICAN LITERATURE COMPILED THE BIBLIOGRAPHY WITH THE USE OF STANDARD BIBLIOGRAPHIC TOOLS. THE CITATIONS ARE ARRANGED BY SUBJECT, AND THERE IS A TITLE INDEX AND A SUBJECT AND AUTHOR INDEX. (AUTHOR)
