No Crystal Stair: A Booklist on the Black Experience

Compiled by the members of the No Crystal Stair Booklist Committee at The New York Public Library. Continuing the work begun with the publication of The Negro in the United States in 1925, No Crystal Stair in 1971, and No Crystal Stair: Still Climbing in 1996, this new edition is representative of the wealth of material available in a number of important areas of endeavor. From segregation to integration, from this life to the next, from the Cotton Club to the Delta Blues, from poetry to style, this list offers journeys within the black experience to educate, entertain, enlighten, and enrich.
