Abstract	This paper expresses the opinion that reading about different minority groups is a must in a quality literature program. Each student should learn as much as possible about diverse minority groups, and literature on minority groups needs adequate curriculum emphasis. Some books which can be a real value for African-American students are "Mississippi Challenge" by M. P. Walter, "The Year They Walked: Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott" by B. Siegel, "Madame C. J. Walker: Self-Made Millionaire" by P. and F. McKissack, and "Thurgood Marshall: A Life for Justice" by J. Haskins. Biographies provide good role models for young persons, since biographical content indicates what can be done by individuals in difficult situations. The teacher might guide students in choosing a book to read and may wish to have a conference with the reader after he or she has completed a book, following an informal set of questions on the material. An ultimate goal in the literature curriculum is to foster lifelong learning among the participants. (NKA)
