BLACK HISTORY MONTH-MAYME CLAYTON LIBRARY AND MUSEUM
For Black History Month, Gayle Anderson was live in Culver City to take a look at the Mayme A. Clayton Library & Museum.This museum maintains the largest and most academically substantial independently held collection of rare and out-of-print books, documents, films, music, photographs and memorabilia on African American history and culture in the United States. MCLM's primary goal is to make the collection available to the public as a cultural compass to a more complete understanding of American history. Founder, Mayme Agnew Clayton, Ph.D., (1923 - 2006) assembled the collection over a 40-year period to ensure that "children would know that black people have done great things." Mayme A. Clayton Library & Museum 4130 Overland Avenue Culver City, California 90230 (626) 794-4677 Email: aclayton@wsbrec.org www.claytonmuseum.org To help this project survive, Congresswoman Diane E.
