A. About Us: I enjoyed reading the history of how the library endured and advanced through the years to become what it is today. The efforts of Alice Dugged Cary and Annie L. McPheeters cannot be praised enough since their work was responsible for much of the core collection (the Negro History Collection). Ms. McPheeters was appointed assistant librarian in 1934, served two decades as the librarian before she retired in 1966 – a life dedicated to education. Also of interest to me is the oral history (1914-1948) by Homer Nash, a black physician whose practice was on Auburn Avenue, recalled the (Jim Crow) period . . . when African Americans "had such a hard time getting books.”
