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. Alexs Pate, an award- winning novelist, playwright, and writing professor, is the president of Innocent Technologies, LLC. Pamela R. Fletcher is associate professor of English at St. Catherine University. J. Otis Powell!? is a poet, performance artist, and curator working in an aesthetic rooted in Afrocentric lore and culture"-- Provided by publisher. 520 $a "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"-- Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a African Americans $z Minnesota $v Literary collections. 650 0 $a American literature $x African American authors. 650 0 $a American literature $z Minnesota. 651 0 $a Minnesota $v Literary collections. 650 7 $a LITERARY COLLECTIONS $x African American. $x African American. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x African American Studies. $x African American Studies. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a African Americans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799558 650 7 $a American literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807113 650 7 $a American literature $x African American authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807114 651 7 $a Minnesota. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204560 650 7 $a Literatur. $0 (DE-588)4035964-5 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Amerikanisches Englisch. $0 (DE-588)4094804-3 $2 gnd 651 7 $a Minnesota. $0 (DE-588)4101012-7 $2 gnd 655 7 $a Literary collections. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423811 700 1 $a Pate, Alexs D., $d 1950- $e editor. 700 1 $a Fletcher, Pamela R., $e editor. 700 1 $a Powell?!, J.
