Sinopsis

A rich Minnesota literary tradition is brought into the spotlight in this groundbreaking collection of incisive prose and powerful poetry by forty- three black writers who educate, inspire, and reveal the unabashed truth.
 
Historically significant figures tell their stories, demonstrating how much and how little conditions have changed: Gordon Parks hitchhikes to Bemidji,
Taylor Gordon describes his first day as a chauffeur in St. Paul, and Nellie Stone Johnson insists on escaping the farm for high school in Minneapolis. A profusion
of modern voices&; poet Tish Jones, playwright Kim Hines, and memoirist Frank Wilderson&; reflect the dizzying, complex realities of the present.
 
Showcasing the unique vision and reality of Minnesota&;s African American community from the Harlem renaissance through the civil rights movement, from the black power movement to the era of hip- hop and the time of America&;s first black president, this compelling anthology provides an explosion of artistic expression about what it means to be a Minnesotan.
