A REPRESENTATIVE BIBLIOGRAPHY

|
Negro Soldiers by Roscoe Jamison c. 1918
These truly are the Brave,
These men who cast aside
Old memories, to walk the blood-stained pave
Of Sacrifice, joining the solemn tide
That moves away, to suffer and to die
For Freedom--when their own is yet denied!
O Pride! O Prejudice! When they pass by,
Hail them, the Brave, for you now crucified. |
"I felt that one had better die fighting against injustice.... I had already
determined to sell my life as dearly as possible if attacked. I felt if I could take one
lyncher with me, this would even up the score a little bit." Quote by Ida B. Wells from African American Quotations /
compiled by Richard Newman : with a foreword by Julian Bond. c. 1998 |

| "I’m a
Southerner. I was shaped and molded by the south, and I never got Northernized. I realized
I was a Southerner because every time I went back home I’d slip into it very
comfortable. I like it there. It’s home." Morgan Freeman [Memphis] 1937- Time,
February 1995. |
Okay, I confess: unlike Morgan Freeman, I’m not a
Southerner. What I am is a librarian. If this sounds like a strange juxtaposition, let me
explain. I have been molded by the resources of the library and the information seeking
behavior that happens there. To paraphrase Freeman, every time I step into a library
I’m comfortable. I like it there. It’s home. My geographic roots are outweighed
by my vocational and avocational roots which are deeply embedded in the library.
I
also confess to having an odd hobby. Some folks knit, some folks crochet; I read reference
books. I admit it sounds a bit peculiar, but it’s what I do. This odd
‘hobby’ worked to my advantage when I decided to search for and document sources
relating to writers from my adopted state, Tennessee. To Mary Ellen Snodgrass who believes
reference librarians "are the true heroes of literary research," I would
respond: we just can’t help ourselves.
My interest in finding and sharing Black Tennessee role models probably began
when a student came to me for help in finding material on prominent Black Tennesseans. She
returned and expressed her excitement about finding a perfect subject for her report: a
Black Tennessee University President, Dr. Charles Spurgeon Johnson, about whom she was
previously unaware. The intent of this project is not to produce an exhaustive list of
Black writers with a Tennessee connection. The goal is a representative sampling of the
many men and women of color who represent talent spanning all geographical areas of the
state. East, middle and west Tennessee have all produced talented Black writers. Some of
those writers are represented here.
The scope of this bibliography ranges from the life span of Bishop Isaac Lane,
who was born in 1834 and died at the age of 103 in 1937, to the current day when we look
at Dr. Reginald Martin, the youngest writer represented. The following piece examines the
many and broad contributions made by talented Black writers of Tennessee who had or are
having something lasting to share. Their contributions range from the esoteric to the
mundane. From the pens and minds of these Black men and women flow the song lyrics:
gospel, blues, and folk; novels and short fiction; pages of Afro-American history,
especially southern Afro-American history; stories of life, and growth, and struggle;
poetry; literary criticism; drama; and works intended for juvenile ears, just to mention a
few of the genres covered within these pages.
Represented also are fathers and sons, the Bonds and the Works; a mother and
son, the Stuckeys; husband and wife, the McKissacks; professional writing partners, Miller
& Lyles; and professional colleagues; Wade-Gayles & Guy-Sheftall. Subjects include
well known authors such as Fisk librarian and prolific writer Arna Bontemps, and poets
Nikki Giovanni and Etheridge Knight as well as poet, novelist, essayist Ishmael Reed and,
of course, native son Alex Haley, author of ROOTS.
As an academic reference librarian, I experience first hand the frustration
that students feel in their all too often vain search for information about an author.
Additionally, I share with fellow instructors and librarians a desire for students to
acquire positive role models. With these elements chasing my heels, I began my quest to
learn the names of Tennessee writers as well as find sources which would identify
biography, criticism and/or examples of works produced by these Tennessee-linked men and
women. Acknowledging the immensity of this project, I humbly provide the following
beginning--this paper, Remembering Black Writers Associated with Tennessee : a
Representative Bibliography. If you have any comments, suggestions, etc.

Reed should enjoy "favorite son of Chattanooga" status.
Of the many things and many distinguished residents for which
this town may boast, being the birthplace of Ishmael Reed should
be high on the list. Reed has penned more than 20 books. He has
lectured at UC-Berkeley for the past 30 years. He was awarded
the 1998 MacArthur "Genius" award. He is currently working
on a novel based on the O. J. Simpson trial. He is a longtime
resident of Oakland, CA., but a native son of Tennessee.
