Paul Laurence Dunbar: Traits of Success
William F. Bell, Brian Reid, Mike Rombke, Curt Dalton, Kenneth Wilkinson
Paperback (Home Based Arts USA, Incorporated, Feb. 15, 2017)Why is Paul Laurence Dunbar relevant to children today? It’s because he was the first African-American in history to be highly regarded by all Americans as an intelligent, profoundly gifted writer who celebrated his cultural background as he examined it. It will always be important for children of this country from all cultural backgrounds to learn about who came before them to pave the way to their dream-pursuits, so that they too can excel at being a writer, a scientist, a businessman, whichever interest sparks their imagination. Paul was the first African-American to gain national popularity and critical acclaim as a poet in a profession dominated by whites. His success gave young African-Americans hope to pursue the arts as a profession when blacks were only encouraged to get industrial jobs. Paul’s poetry addressed the challenges and joys of being an African-American and many of those challenges and joys are still relevant today.
