The Brownies' Book was the first magazine published for African-American children and youth.[1] Its creation was mentioned in the yearly children's issue of The Crisis in October 1919. The first issue was published during the Harlem Renaissance in January 1920, with issues published monthly until December 1921.[2][1] It is cited as an "important moment in literary history" for establishing black children's literature in the United States.[2]
