We are proud to present The African American Literary Classics book set, a collection of classic works by African American authors celebrating each individual's literary contributions and cultural impact. Originally introduced by Juniper Books in 2016, these classic works by Black authors have been carefully curated and adorned with custom leather look book jackets printed with matte gold titles.

This collection features five anthology volumes published by Library of America, encompassing a diverse range of literary treasures.

Du Bois' thought-provoking writings on race and identity, Zora Neale Hurston's evocative novels and stories, and Richard Wright's later works exploring themes of identity and belonging.
