ACCOUNT OF THE NEGRO IN AMERICA BEING PREPARED Washington, D.

Material for this publication is being gathered and edited here ur.der- the direction of Professor Sterling A.. Brown of ?Umvard univfi-sity, F.Oitor nn Negro Affairs,, as part of the program of the Federal Writers' Projects. The American Guid^will describe the scenic, commercial, scientific, historic, social, and cultural aspects of every community in the~L'nited~States. It will include much information _on the contribution of the Negro to American cultui^from the earliest days. Negro workers connected with the project, who number more than 100 at present are delving into all standard works on Negro history, social life, and culture. They are interviewing persons of recognized authority in special fields and are making use of all existing library facilities in preparing contributions for the Guide. The mass of material collected is expected . to throw many interesting side lights on Negro life: as'well as to I attain the main purpose of giving* the Negro adequate and Unbiased^ representation in the handbook. An attempt is being made to make the work state-wide whereover possible- In New York City, Negro writlers are both collecting "material' for the city -guide-" and" making a study of the history and characteristics of the various state lacial groups. At the National Capital and in other cities, groups are working on city guides. For all cities and states in which the Negro population is important histories of the Negro will be included. Accounts of lives, homes, and. work., of local Negro authors architects, artists, musicians, and others of note are to be made part of the permanent record. Special attention will be given the Negro press, commercial en tci'pi'iaea,- iKmsingy -hospitalieationand general accomodations.
