This comprehensive history of the DuSable Museum of African American History—the nation’s first independent museum celebrating Black culture—was published on the occasion of the museum’s 20th anniversary. Established in 1961 by Margaret Taylor-Burroughs, the museum was founded to be an educational resource for African American history and a center for social activism in Chicago. Contents include an introductory poem and print by Taylor-Burroughs titled "What Shall I Tell My Children Who Are Black?," as well as reminiscences of the museum’s development by author and civic rights activist Eugene Feldman.
