Abstract
Purpose of the Study
It is hoped that a collection of factual information from books, pamphlets, and periodicals on the Negro, carefully selected, simplified, and organized, may prove valuable to teachers of the upper elementary grades, (1) to give the pupil a better understanding of his race; (2) to create a better intercultural relation with the other race groups; (3) to inspire and encourage the child toward a happy and successful life.
The specific objections hoped to be gained by the pupils are: (1) to acquaint themselves with the past through the lives of men and women who have made outstanding contributions in their race; (2) success and failure of the past; (3) to find things in the past and present worthy of emulation; (4) to help them become better citizens.
