This article illuminates the role of southern African American female librarians during the long civil rights movement (1930s through 1960s). Black women faced the “double jeopardy” of race and gender, but college-educated, “Female Talented Tenth” members such as Mollie Huston Lee and other North Carolina librarians committed to personal and community uplift. Institutions such as the North Carolina Negro Library Association (1935–55) and the Richard B. Harrison Library (established in 1935) were incubators of innovative resistance strategies to white racism and were crucial in setting the stage for direct action in the 1960s.

“我的黑手能突破黑暗的阴影吗？”：长期自由斗争期间的性别，吉姆·克罗和图书馆管理，1935–1955年

本文阐述了在漫长的民权运动（1930到1960年代）中，南部非洲裔美国女图书馆员的作用。黑人妇女面临种族和性别的“双重危险”，但是受过大学教育的“女性才俊第十”成员，例如莫利·休斯顿·李（Mollie Huston Lee）和其他北卡罗来纳州图书馆馆员，致力于个人和社区的发展。诸如北卡罗莱纳州黑人图书馆协会（1935–55）和理查德·B·哈里森图书馆（成立于1935年）之类的机构，是对白色种族主义进行创新性抵抗策略的孵化器，对于为1960年代采取直接行动奠定了基础。
