Miriam Matthews to be Honored
Submitted by Sharon Johnson, African American Librarian's Round Table Co-Chair
The African American Librarian's Roundtable will be co-hosting a legacy program honoring Miriam Matthews, California's first African American Librarian, at the 2005 CLA Conference. Ms. Matthews assembled one of the most extensive collections of materials on African Americans in California history, and worked diligently to educate people about Los Angeles' history of diversity. In recognition of her trail blazing accomplishments, the Los Angeles Public Library has named their new Hyde Park library the Hyde Park - Miriam Matthews Branch. This conference program is co-hosted by the CLA Cultural Diversity Committee and the California Librarian's Black Caucus. Information on time and location will be forthcoming.
