Once a week I am reaching into my extensive collection of Black Lit and posting a real prize -- and leaving it up for grabs for exactly 5 days. What a book this would be for any home-schooler! These tales are from the black people of Africa and America. There are four sections: Origins, Love, Heroes, and People. Under Heroes, the two folktales are Stagolee and High John The Conqueror. I would just love to read any of these stories to a class of young people, age 3-33.
