Review # 1 was written on 2017-10-27 00:00:00 Jim Gater NAACP - breaking down racial stereotype [proof of human status:]; Harlem Renaissance as "a somewhat forced phenomenon, a cultural nationalism of the parlor, institutionally encouraged and directed by the NAACP for the paramount purpose of improving race relations." "The only things artistic that have sprung from American soil and out of American life, and been universally recognized as distinctively American products, are the folk creations of the Negro." Introduced to E. Franklin Frazier (All God's Chillun Got Eyes)... looking for "The Pathology of Race Prejudice." Also, DuBois on Garvey (possibly shady, good "Back to Africa" goal, but "singlehanded attempts to realize his dream in a few years with large words and wild gestures... grievously... endangers his cause." McGarvey is "sincere and idealistic" but "inexperienced businessman" whose methods are "bombastic, ineffective and almost illegal.")
