Description
Mississippi Legend is one of the short stories that James Baldwin wrote in "The Magpie." Aldo suggests that the manner in which this short story was written, introduced the boys of Clinton High School to the world of African American Vernacular English. Dr. Roberts suggests that Baldwin writing in African American Vernacular English, was not a widely accepted practice at that time, thus making his doing so all the more noteworthy. Mississippi Legend is performed by Tina E and produced by Elena from 3B Episode References:African American Vernacular EnglishRichard WrightAnn PetryLangston HughsZora Neal HurstonThe Color PurpleThe Amen CornerThe Story of Noah's ArkFurther Reading:Books by James BaldwinThe Furious Passage of James Baldwin by Fern M.
