emerging folklorists

We are proud to incorporate a segment for youth & Young Adults that show interest in studying, researching, and preserving our heritage. There is an entire section dedicated to them called the "African American Emerging Folklorist Section," which publishes articles and research papers from young people aged 10-24.​
