Review of Higher Education Among Negroes. Vol. 34 (1966): pp 46-51.
This article explores how African-American librarians were seen by their communities as well as society. Josey discusses the image, duties and expectations of black librarians in the United States, focusing not only on race but opportunities and limitations. He also mentions how blacks could improve their abilities and image within the library profession.
Josey’s article is a valuable illustration of the role of blacks in society during this time. His discussion includes how black librarians are viewed by both the black and white communities. This article is an excellent way to discover how race affected the library profession and the image of black librarians during this point in history.
