I just wrote a rather longish post about certain historical African American group referents on this Mudcat thread thread.cfm?threadid=18902&messages=53 Lyr Req: My Pretty Quadroon.

After writing that post, I thought that this topic might be of interest to other Mudcat members and guests.

As a means of sharing information and as a way that I and other people can learn more about this topic, I intend to not only repost my comment from that other thread, but will also post hyperlinks and excerpts from online sources [and perhaps other print sources] on the topic of African American group referents.

As always, I encourage Mudcat members and guests to join in this presentation of information, and hopefully join in a discussion of this subject.

Thanks, in advance, for your participation in this thread.
