The Negro Caravan is a collection of writings by African Americans edited by Sterling Allen Brown, Arthur Paul Davis, and Ulysses Lee.[1] It was published in 1941. A writeup in the New York Times states it achieved "legend" status.[2] It was published by Dryden Press.[3] The book includes short stories, excerpts from novels, poetry, folk literature, drama, speeches, pamphlets, letters, biography, and essays organized chronologically by genre.[4] It also includes biographical sketches of the writers.
Reviewer Harvey Curtis Webster noted, "The pleasure of reading The Negro Caravan is hardly undermined by the fact that one emerges a more enlightened human being."[5] In her newspaper column My Day, Eleanor Roosevelt wrote that The Negro Caravan "should be in everyone's library."[6]
