This was a black American who counted himself a member within the brotherhood of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity and would go on to head up the pediatrics department at Provident Hospital. The author turns a person with an account of her father, Ronald Jefferson. She then proceeds to describe how her experiences as both a participant and observer of this status allow her to become what she calls “a chronicler of Negroland.” And then she answers the second question looming over the title, asserting that this metaphorical description of a very real American subculture is called what it is because the word “Negro” was the dominant term describing her race for most of American history. This personal memoir begins with the author quickly delineating that Negroland is the term given to that fractional minority of the black minority in America that enjoyed the privilege and a certain level of financial security.
