  • The Bronze Booklet series was a set of eight volumes edited by Alain Locke published in the 1930s by Associates in Negro Folk Education, and "enthusiastically supported by the American Association for Adult Education, the Rosenwald Fund, and the Carnegie Corporation". These were "reading courses on various aspects of Afro-American history and culture", with "[e]ach booklet contained a readable text with discussion questions at the end of chapters as well as a list of suggested releated readings". According to Howard Martin, a professor at Howard University, "Dr. Locke's basic objective was to provide authentic information on major aspects of American Negro life, written by recognized, highly qualified authors, for a wide spectrum of readers, especially black Americans, at a low cost, so that the books could be afforded by the masses." Locke also "likely intended" white audiences for the volumes. These were a "crowning achievement", "[p]erhaps the greatest service which Locke made to the adult education movement". Their success was "enormous": the "inexpensive booklets sold in the thousands and were in use all over the country, in libraries, high schools, churches, Y.M.C.A.'s, and meeting halls." (en)
