How does African American literature successfully reframe the entire history of white and black American race gender and class relations in regards to literary and cultural achievements?

Some authors, regardless of color, do manage to reflect the times, people and places of African American lives in America. Others don't. Roots, by Alex Haley, has stood up quite well to historic and social change and discussion by many different people, regardless of color, gender and class. In this area, the quality of your thoughts and how you express them is so important that it nearly overshadows the message. To Kill a Mockingbird (Harper Lee) is another book that made events visible to society. The book, which some say is a depiction of a true event, has a parallel piece written by Truman Capote (I haven't read it). A movie called Guess Who Is Coming to Dinner was another cultural icon. I don't know who wrote it, but does their color matter? It is what touches our hearts and minds and makes us think about other people. The Color Purple was another. I am not sure this is a good question, so if this is a class assignment, go with the works the teacher gave and pull out some examples that show, individually in their own right, a picture of lives in a time and place.
