About this collection
The first library of its kind in Houston and one of the few African American libraries in the country, the African American Library at the Gregory School serves as a resource to preserve, promote, and celebrate the rich history and culture of African Americans in Houston, the surrounding region, and the African Diaspora. The library is housed in the Edgar M. Gregory School, which served as the first public school for African Americans in Houston.
