The African American Folklorist is a quarterly Cultural News Magazine that contains articles about traditions, traditional beliefs, the cultural context, geographical locations, music, and vernaculars of African Americans and the role each element plays in the lives of the people past and present. AAF furthers its mission by publishing articles that discuss the evolution of our traditions, and present research about blues people. We include interviews with and articles from musicians, historians, ethnographers, Community Scholars, and academics who specialize in and are enthusiastic about the Black Experience in America. AAF includes a variety of perspectives on the black experience and seeks to educate and share perspectives with people of all colors. We also are proud to incorporate youth that show interest in studying, researching, and preserving our heritage. There is an entire section dedicated to them called the "African American Folklorist 'Emerging Folklorist ' Section," which publishes articles and research papers from young people aged 10-24.
