It's about damn time!

At roughly 4pm EST Blogger returns after about 6 hours. It's not my fault the new stuff was slow getting posted.

Anyway, the latest addition to The Public Library is The Martin Luther King Jr. Collection, a collection of turn-of-the-century articles mostly by, but always about, Black folks. There's nine short stories by Charles W. Chestnutt, several articles by Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois, and commentary by a couple of random folks you never heard of.

Among my favorites in the collection are THE WIFE OF HIS YOUTH by Charles W. Chesnutt, an article about Sojourner Truth (the only person who ever stopped Frederick Douglass cold with a single sentance) by Harriet Beecher Stowe, and THE HEART OF THE RACE PROBLEM by Quincy Ewing.
