Dorothy Porter Wesley: preserver of Black history – Afro-American librarian
The extraordinary career of Dorothy Porter Wesley spanned sixty-five years, from her appointment in 1930 as librarian at Howard University’s nascent Moorland Foundation, a Library of Negro Life, until her death on December 17, 1995.
