The mobile library contains a wide array of multimedia materials celebrating the history of American blacks in terms of their African heritage, beginnings in the new world, struggle for freedom, notable achievements and representatives to emerge from the American experience.
Included are sculpture reproductions, maps, art prints, posters, records, film strips and 16mm film. Printed materials on this special Black History Mobile Library range in reading level from fourth grade through adult.
