American Legacy Winter 2009

The Mayme A. Clayton Library & Museum (MCLM) 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 view of American history. 

Our 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."

It is our hope that you will explore our website, learn about our goals and objectives, and join us in the effort to save and share a

vitally important American treasure.

 

The Mayme A. Clayton Library & Museum
