Some cool news from the folks at Penguin Classics: They have launched a series of African-American classics curated by Henry Louis Gates. The first two titles, both hitting shelves May 27, are The Portable Charles W. Chesnutt; and God's Trombones, by James Weldon Johnson. Chesnutt is perhaps the most influential African-American writer of the post-bellum era. Johnson wrote the classic passing novel The Autobiography of an ex-Colored Man.
