Collect, organize, distribute, and retrieve information for the sake of the masses. It is my firm belief that Librarians are the preservers of culture and all around "it girls" (and sometimes boys lol) when it comes to answering questions or helping you mere mortals(j/k) to find the answers you want. When you're stumped-- ask a Librarian. I'm re-posting this because I'd like for everyone to know that this kind of power and influence was once (and will be again) in the hands of some of our greatest Quirky Heroines.
Audre Lorde
Zora Neale Hurston
Regina M. Anderson (played a pivotal role in bringing about the Harlem Renaissance)
Augusta Braxton Baker (broke through the glass ceiling and was promoted to the highest position within the NY Library system)
I salute Black Librarians
