Asili Celebrates Black Writers from
1711 to the present, Cont'd

The following table presents a partial listing of Black writers, poets and playwrights (African Americans and those of African descent) who could not be placed chronologically. We have put them in alphabetical order.

We at Asili recognize that these tables are incomplete. We invite you to send us pictures, birth data and web data of any writer that we have inadvertantly missed. This page will be up for a considerable amount of time and we will make corrections if you point them out to us. Contact the webmaster@asilithejournal.com.
