African- American folklore is arguably the basis
for most African- American literature. In a
country where as late as the 1860 's there were
laws prohibiting the teaching of slaves, it was
necessary for the oral tradition to carry the
values the group considered significant.

pamphlets, poems, and novels. Themes such as the
quest for freedom, the nature of evil, and the
powerful verses the powerless became the themes of
African- American literatur...

can save lives by stopping repeat murderers, but
does it deter murder? Opponents of the death

punishment is cruel and unusual. Most of the
