LC 2001-5918.	2003	2	.pdf	application/pdf	1876	126	42	In the December 1960 issue of Library Jour- nal, newly appointed editor Eric Moon wrote his infamous editorial, “The Silent Subject,” in which he complained that the library profession, specifically the ALA, had generally ignored the racial segrega- tion of public libraries in the South. Despite the qualified suc- cess of the Julius Rosenwald Fund in es- tablishing library service for black mine workers in Walker County, and the enlight- ened collaboration of the National Youth Administration (NYA) and the industrial leadership of the American Cast Iron Pipe Company (Acipco), which led to the es- tablishment of the Slossfield Branch of the Birmingham Public Library in 1940, Gra- ham characterizes the 1930s as a decade full of missed and only partially realized opportunities in the provision of library service to African Americans.	cache/crl-15578.pdf	txt/crl-15578.txt
