Portsmouth Colored Community Library Museum

Ms. Mae Breckenridge-Haywood, author of Black America Series: Portsmouth, VAhas submitted an excellent post to the blog about a very unique library.  How many African-American, pre-integration libraries have been preserved as museums?  The Portsmouth Colored Community Library Museum is just such a place.  It is truly an amazing and inspiring library history.

This is a “must see” library for anyone interested in civil rights and library history:
