Summary
Woodley explores what James Weldon Johnson called the 'art approach to the Negro problem'. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) developed a strategy to try to eradicate racial prejudice by altering the way African Americans were portrayed in the media and through the development and promotion of black literary and artistic talent. The book also examines the relationship between culture and civil rights. It argues that the NAACP's cultural strategy was designed to complement its other work by changing white attitudes toward the race & by forging a black identity.
