The African American Struggle For Library Equality: The Untold Story Of The Julius Rosenwald Fund Library Program<https://ccrls.ent.sirsi.net/client/en_US/oslpublic/search/detailnonmodal/ent:$002f$002fSD_ILS$002f0$002fSD_ILS:1564329/ada> by Aisha M. Johnson-Jones. Rowman & Littlefield, 2019. 978-1-5381-0308-1.

>From the publisher: "Through original research and use of existing literature, Aisha Johnson-Jones exposes historic library practices that discriminated against blacks, and the necessary remedies the Julius Rosenwald Fund Library Program implemented to cure this injustice, which ultimately influenced other philanthropists like Andrew Carnegie and Bill Gates (the Gates Foundation has a library program) as well as organizations like the American Library Association."
