It’s February, and that means Black History Month. There has been a lot of great African American writers over the last three or four centuries in America, and a lot of the time they don’t get as much attention and respect as they should. For this February show, I take a look at four classic African American writers that we all need to know about and read as part of our duty as lit fans in this country.
