According to Rubine Sims Bishop, the important study of "black"characters did not come until the early 1970, when Dorothy Broderick, a librarian and educator, conducted a dissertation titled Image of Black in Children's fiction, which which she gave a historical, critical, and literal analysis of African American History?
The Brownies' was a prominent tool
comprised of stories (folktales, fantasies, as well as more realistic stories), poems, articles on current events, and photographs of and letters from young readers.

 The Brownies Book celebrated African American identity, urged racial pride, and encouraged its young readers to aspire to positions of leadership within their communities. (2007)

Rudine Sims Bishop notes that “Du Bois resolutely demanded excellence in education for Black children, including a strong foundation in reading, writing, and especially thinking” (Bishop 22)
