Dorothy Porter Wesley: preserver of Black history – Afro-American librarian
The extraordinary career of Dorothy Porter Wesley spanned sixty-five years, from her appointment in 1930 as librarian at Howard University’s nascent Moorland Foundation, a Library of Negro Life, until her death on December 17, 1995. Through out this period she remained the quintessential librarian — a collector and dispenser of knowledge. She was an elder in the community of scholars who had experienced the continuum that is history and was a vast reservoir of wisdom, which she imparted to successive generations of students of Black history and culture.

African Americans in Hollywood: A black-on-black shame
It’s Friday night in Chicago. Ice and snow blanket the surrounding landscape. Chicago’s frigid winds reinforces its nickname “Windy City.” But despite the sub-zero winds, a long line of shivering Chicagoans fight off the bone chilling cold and huddle tightly together, anticipating the first showing of the movie “Jason’s Lyric.” A voice bellows from behind the ticket window, announcing the 9:30 p.m. show is sold out. The next Showing is scheduled for 10:45 p.m. But ignoring the cold, not a single person moves. With such loyalty from African-American filmgoers, the question begs asking: “Why do so many Black filmmakers in Hollywood seem to take this level of dedication for granted?”
