African Texas - Children, Young Adults

Skywriting:  African Texana for Children and Young Adults http://www.worldcat.org/profiles/WillHoward48/lists Your Assistance Is Requested   Skywriting, a bibliography for young readers is being developed on the topic of the Texas African experience – non-fiction and fiction– in-print and out-of-print - with very few adult titles included.  The preliminary stage numbers about 300 titles.  About a third includes modern athletes and singers.  About a third relates to the 19th century.  The large number of titles mandates a classification scheme. Art and Dance – 2 Astronauts – 34 Barbara Jordan – 15 Bessie Coleman – 29 Beyonce and Destiny's Child – 13 Buffalo Soldiers – 23 Colonial to Reconstruction – 20 Cowboy and Western Life – 15 Cowboy and Western Life – Bill Picket – 7 Cowboy and Western Life – Fiction – 10 Estevanico – 9 Folklore (mostly adult) – 7 General – 5 Juneteenth – 17 Modern Life – 15 Modern Life – Fiction – 33 Music (including Scott Joplin) – 15 Sports – 62   The list is quite preliminary.  Please contact Will Howard with any suggestions or offers to help in the editorial phase.  Skywriting should be finished by December.  If you wish to peruse a Word document copy of the list, as it stands now, request it by email.
