In honor of Black History Month, I recommend celebrating some of my favorites, including the personal collections of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. https://www.librarything.com/profile/MartinLutherKingJr, Invisible Man author Ralph Ellison https://www.librarything.com/profile/RalphEllison, abolitionist, writer, and statesman Frederick Douglass https://www.librarything.com/profile/FrederickDouglass, and trumpet virtuoso Louis Armstrong https://www.librarything.com/profile/LouisArmstrong.
Check out their libraries and compare them against your own. Are you surprised at any of their collections?
Whose books should we catalog next? We’re always open to suggestions.
