Summary
[edit]DescriptionRosenberg Library-Colored Branch -- Galveston.jpg |
English: The 175-year-old City of Galveston has been credited with a long list of “firsts” in Texas. Among the most significant—and least well documented—of these historic achievements is the establishment of the first public library for African Americans in the state. While most Galvestonians today are very familiar with the Rosenberg Library at 2310 Sealy Street, many probably don’t realize that at one time there existed a separate Rosenberg Library branch for “colored” citizens.
Henry Rosenberg bequeathed moneys for many civic endeavors. This public library for African Americans was one. In addition to being a first in Texas, Rosenberg Library’s Colored Branch is believed to be the first public library for blacks in the entire southern United States. The 1896 Supreme Court decision Plessy v. Ferguson established a “separate but equal” mandate which legalized the segregation of public schools as well as public libraries. Today the building serves as a Central Cultural Center. |
