This work explores the contributions of African Americans to literature and the arts, emphasizing their artistic and cultural achievements while facing societal challenges. Brawley's analysis offers a broader understanding of how the Negro has influenced American civilization, particularly in aesthetics.  At the start of the text, the author states the purpose of the book: to provide a thorough examination of the accomplishments of African Americans in literature and art, striving to evaluate their contributions by absolute standards.
