In the 1920s scholar W. E. B. Du Bois started a magazine for children. Calling it “The Brownies’ Book,” it was the first magazine aimed specifically at Black youth. Nearly 100 years later, author, educator, and Du Bois scholar Dr. Karida L. Brown, and award‐ winning artist and children’s book creator, Charly Palmer, revived and expanded upon the Brownies’ Book legacy and showcased new art and writing for children from today’s brilliant Black creators.
