The Brownies' Book (1920-1921) was the first children's periodical created by Blacks for Black children. It was created by W. E. B. DuBois to meet seven objectives. The seven objectives were: (1) To make colored children realize that being "colored" is a normal beautiful thing. (2) To make them familiar with the history of the Negro race. (3) To make them know that other colored children have grown into beautiful, useful and famous persons. (4) To teach them a delicate code of honor and actions in their relations with white children. (5) To turn their little hurts and resentments into emulation, ambition and love of their homes and companions. (6) To point out the best amusements and joys and worth-while things of life. (7) To inspire them to prepare for definite occupations and duties with a broad spirit of sacrifice.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The Brownies' Book (1920-1921) was the first children's periodical created by Blacks for Black children. It was created by W. E. B. DuBois to meet seven objectives. The seven objectives were: (1) To make colored children realize that being "colored" is a normal beautiful thing. (2) To make them familiar with the history of the Negro race. (3) To make them know that other colored children have grown into beautiful, useful and famous persons. (4) To teach them a delicate code of honor and actions in their relations with white children. (5) To turn their little hurts and resentments into emulation, ambition and love of their homes and companions. (6) To point out the best amusements and joys and worth-while things of life. (7) To inspire them to prepare for definite occupations and duties with a broad spirit of sacrifice.
520 $a These objectives were addressed in a children's magazine which educated, politicized, and entertained its readers. The editors (W. E. B. DuBois and Jessie Fauset) sought to inform readers of their heritage, teach them models of behaviors that would shape personal and public actions, and provide readers with knowledge that would enable them to function in a society that placed racial strictures on them.
520 $a Readers were encouraged to believe in and commit themselves to racial solidarity, racial uplift, and positive values such as kindness, ambition, and excellence.
520 $a The works contained in The Brownies' Book entertained Black children in a manner that did not deprecate Blacks or Black culture; the works celebrated Black culture.
520 $a The editors attempted to shape a personality referred to as the "refined colored person" through fiction, poetry, biographical sketches, playlets, and monthly columns. These works emphasized themes such as racial solidarity, the beauty and intelligence of Blacks, commitment to excellence, and tolerance.
520 $a The Brownies' Book stood as a proud example of the efforts of two individuals to challenge the selective tradition in children's literature that negatively depicted Blacks. In its challenge to the selective tradition, The Brownies' Book signalled the emergence of a new tradition in children's literature that would have its greatest impact fifty years later.
