- Description:
- The following proposal, entitled A Library of Black History, Culture and Literary Contributionsis submitted to the Rockefeller Foundation. The person proposed as Head Librarian has a Master's Degree in Library Service and shows considerable ability in the area of Black history and culture.This project is designed for the purpose of educating Blacks about their origin and about contemporary Black literature. It will last for three years and its cost will be $215,200.56. The amount for the first year is to be $100,200.56, for the second year $65,000.00 and for the third year $50,000.00 Information for selecting books and other needed library facilities will be included on each annual budget. A consultant from Trevor Arnett Library, Atlanta University, Atlanta, Georgia, is to provide the prices and costs of Library facilities. This project is designed to help the students at Atlanta University, the faculty, and the community become more aware of their heritage, and will emphasize the literary and scholarly contributions of Black Americans. The project is also designed to enable future social workers of all ethnic backgrounds to acquire a wide range of knowledge regarding persons who have contributed to the Social Sciences. At present, little information is known about the contributions of Black Sociologists. Such literature should facilitate a better understanding of these matters. As a result of this project, social workers graduating from Atlanta University should be able to go into practice with a body of knowledge that will encompass the contributions of Black Americans from the stand point of history, culture and literary works. This project is worthy of support because it attempts to aid the Blacks' study of himself in terms of his culture, his history, and his literary contributions. It is designed to do a job of educating Blacks about themselves and society, and will put into practice what should have been put into practice at least one hundred years ago
