Old Fashioned Black Fo'ks

Old Fashioned Black Fo'ks is one of five self-published volumes of dialectical poems by Elliott Blaine Henderson. While not as well known or appreciated during his time as his contemporary, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Henderson's work has been rediscovered by modern scholars with a new appreciation. Many critics now declare that Henderson's poems use dialect and folk forms to subtly and deceptively introduce protest to racism into his work.
