| Title | Charlemae Hill Rollins, 1950's |
| Description | As children's librarian at the Hall branch of the Chicago Public Library from 1932 to 1963, Charlemae Hill Rollins set generations of Bronzeville youth on paths to achievement. Beginning in the 1930's, Rollins agitated against racism in children's books. Her work led to the 1941 study, We Build Together, an unprecedented bibliography of acceptable depictions of minorities in children's books. In later years Rollins was the author of more than a half dozen popular Black books for children, including the celebrated collection, Christmas Gif'. Rollins died in 1979. |
