Abstract

Many people seem to think that the discussion of diversity started in 1964 with Nancy Larrick’s seminal article, “The All-White World of Children’s Books,” published in the Saturday Review on September 11, 1965. This time line shows, however, that a lot happened prior to that. Influential library leaders such as Pura Belpré, Charlemae Hill Rollins, Augusta Baker, and Clara Breed championed diversity long before the 1960s.
