The
Del Fambrough Collection
|
|
 |
Del
Fambrough was the chair of the English Department at Lawrence High
School for many years. One of her many contributions to LHS was
our Minority Literature course which was created in 1969. Poetry,
short stories, novels and other forms of literature by black authors
were
taught.
In
response to the Civil Rights
movement of the
1960's, Minority Literature also offered a forum for discussion
of social and political issues of the day. Mrs. Fambrough was a
strong supporter of the LHS Library. During her tenure
at LHS her suggestions
for
|
|
book
purchases made our literature collection
an outstanding one. Now, as a gift from the Fambrough family,
the LHS Library features The Del Fambrough Collection in her memory.
The
collection offers selections from
Mrs. Fambrough's personal library as well as The Complete Works
of Langston Hughes.
