With relations between the races in the United States strained, it is important that the country, particularly the South, know what the Afro-American really wants. Believing that statements from leading blacks might throw light on this question, the publisher asked that this book be written with the stipulation that equal representation be given to conservative, liberal, and radical opinion and that the contributors not go to extremes that they could not justify- publisher.

Volume 1 (12 months) 1920, Volume 2 (12 months) 1921. A delightful look at the life and times of the early 20th century for prominent African American communities. Background: The seven goals stated in "The True Brownies" were: 1) To make colored children realize that being "colored" is a normal, beautiful thing. 2) To make them familiar with the history and achievements of their 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 action 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. -?W. E. B. Du Bois, "The True Brownies", The Crisis, October 1919. ~ One of the goals of the magazine was to dispel the "grotesqu e stereotype s" of the "Dar k Contine nt", a dispar aging term used for Africa and its people. Middle-class African-American children "consumed this propa ganda along with the white children who were its implied audience" in children's literary works such as the magazine St. Nicholas. The 1919 article "The True Brownies" included commentary by Du Bois discussing children, stating that "to seek to raise them in ignoran ce of their ra cial identity and peculiar situation is inadvisable-impossible", in which the use of the phrase "peculiar situation" is an allusion to the euphe mism "peculiar institution", meaning sla very. Du Bois believed children should be taught their r acial identity and social situation. The name of the magazine is derived from the folkloric creatures brownies (Inspired by Palmer Cox' Brownies), who were said to complete household chores at night in exchange for food, alluding to African Americans being used as servvants, but the term is used as signification in the "oppr essive literary-historical context". Specifically, the creators wanted to "make c olored children realize that being 'color ed' is a normal beautiful thing". ~ Firmly readable and collectible.

The content of Du Bois's Brownies' Book showcased his opposition to the social philosophy espoused by Booker T. Washington and provided an alternative vision of the ideal education for African Americans. Rudine Sims Bishop notes that "Du Bois resolutely demanded excellence in education for Black children, including a strong foundation in reading, writing, and especially thinking" (Bishop 22). The Brownies' Book was a way for Du Bois to help cultivate what he termed the Talented Tenth-the most able ten percent of African Americans who, equipped with a broad and liberal education, would serve as new leaders of the black community.
