We Are Librarians!
For decades, Black Librarians have gone unnoticed when fighting for the right to literacy and access to information for Black Americans. Our documentary will reveal the many untold stories about their struggles and their impact on the communities they serve and our society. Are You a Librarian: The Untold Story of Black Librarians highlights numerous Black Librarians across America and their professional experiences. We shed light on the history of Black Librarianship, its trials, and tribulations while celebrating their accomplishments and innovative approaches. Black Librarians have a story to tell that’s ready to be shared with everyone.
Black Librarians Tell Their Story!
Black librarians tell their stories about overcoming discrimination and their historical contributions to the field of librarianship and continued their efforts to keep diverse books accessible.
Our vision
Amidst the rising challenges of book banning and censorship, our documentary is set to shed light on the contributions of Black Librarians who stand on the front lines, ensuring equitable access to knowledge for all. From health and financial literacy to historical accounts of resilience and modern-day triumphs, the film will weave personal stories with archival footage, interviews, and compelling visuals.
“Our aim is not only to commemorate our journey but to illuminate the global stage with our presence and exceptional contributions as Black librarians.”
