Black Diamonds Gathered In The Darkey Homes Of The South is a book written by Edward A. Pollard. The book is a collection of stories and anecdotes about the lives of African Americans in the Southern United States during the late 19th century. The title refers to the idea that the experiences and struggles of black people are like diamonds, precious and valuable, but often hidden away in the darkness of their homes and communities. Pollard's writing is a mix of humor, pathos, and social commentary, as he explores the joys and sorrows of black life in the South. He discusses topics such as the importance of music and dance in African American culture, the challenges of education and employment, and the impact of slavery and racism on black families and communities. The book is notable for its sympathetic portrayal of black people at a time when many white writers were promoting racist stereotypes and justifying segregation and discrimination. However, it is also criticized for perpetuating some of the same stereotypes and myths about black people, such as the idea that they are inherently musical and childlike. Overall, Black Diamonds Gathered In The Darkey Homes Of The South is an important historical document that provides insight into the lives and experiences of African Americans in the late 19th century. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of race relations in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
