The "Brownies' Book" was the first magazine published for African-American children (1920)
It is cited as an "important moment in literary history" for establishing black children's literature in the United States.
The magazine was created by W. E. B. Du Bois, one of the founders of the NAACP, and his associates.
The seven goals stated in "The True Brownies" were:
To make colored children realize that being "colored" is a normal, beautiful thing.
To make them familiar with the history and achievements of the Negro race.
To make them know that other colored children have grown into beautiful, useful and famous persons.
To teach them a delicate code of honor and action in their relations with white children.
To turn their little hurts and resentments into emulation, ambition and love of their homes and companions.
To point out the best amusements and joys and worth-while things of life.
To inspire them to prepare for definite occupations and duties with a broad spirit of sacrifice.
