"Produced by the Illinois Writers' Project of the WPA, the Cavalcade of the American Negro is a sweeping history of black contributions to all phases of American life from 1865 to 1940. The book was edited by Arna Bontemps and illustrated by Adrian Troy, of the Illinois Writers' and Art Projects, respectively, and was one of the more important contributions to the Diamond Jubilee Exposition held in Chicago in 1940. The book includes a useful description of all the exhibits at the exposition"--Library of Congress website.
