Offprint of a paper by Charles H. Wesley (1891-1987) first published in The Journal of Negro History, Vol. 49, no. 1, January, 1964. In it Wesley, noted Black educator and historian, argues for the need of a Black historical tradition, citing the Irish- and Jewish-American traditions as notable examples. Wesley then tracks the timeline of a Black historical tradition beginning with a "doctrine of inferiority" before transitioning to the achievements of Black figures like William Wells Brown, George Washington Williams, and Carter G. Woodson.
