Description

Black women have historically been hidden figures in librarianship, yet their passion, courage, and tenacity paved the way for future generations of knowledge workers. Profiling more than a dozen librarians, book champions, activists, and pioneers of the profession from across the country, this powerful work of archival storytelling will inspire readers both inside and outside of the library field. These personal histories of advocacy and resilience span the entire 20th Century, stretching from rural South Carolina and Florida to urban centers like New York and Los Angeles; profile better known figures such as Augusta Baker and Eliza Atkins Gleason as well as many who have yet to receive their due; grapple with the toxic legacy of segregation in library education, universities, public libraries, schools, and other institutions, showing how these persevering Black women dared to strive and work towards more equitable futures; include an inspiring Afterword by Dr. Aisha Johnson-Jones, an educator and revelator of Southern intellectual history; will encourage LIS students and newer librarians of all backgrounds to see themselves reflected in the profession's long and rich heritage; and shed light on how librarianship can become ever more diverse and community centered.
