Repository of African-American Legal History

Today, BSI highlights the Damon J. Keith Law Collection of Africa-American Legal History at Wayne State Law School. Here’s a bit of information from its website.
The collection, initiated by Professor Emeritus Edward J. Littlejohn, is dedicated to recording the history of African American lawyers and judges. It was created to meet the need for a central repository for the nation’s African-American legal history.
The collection intends to use its endowment, now exceeding $2.1 million dollars to gather oral histories, support lectures and research, provide educational teaching materials and traveling exhibits, and generally assist in the preservation and popularization of the lessons learned during the course of the historic struggle of the African American people for democracy in the United States.
Since September 5 2004, the site has had a little under 10,000 visits (9,700). Let’s see if we can increase this number a bit!
