- Black HeritageThe Black Heritage Collection of the Roosevelt Public Library houses a comprehensive reference and circulating collection of print and non-print materials written about and related to Black Culture. It is a wide range that covers all facets of Black life for adults and young adults on the history and culture of Africans, African Americans and Caribbean Americans. Other materials examine, describe or depict the experiences of Black people including art, literature, music, sports, politics and more. Additionally, there are a large number of children’s books (biographies, fiction, non-fiction, and reference) housed in the Children’s and Young Adult areas. Unique to the collection, is the recently donated Kenneth Jenkins Collective. This massive collection is a powerful glimpse into the mind of a Renaissance Man and former Dept. Chair of Africana Studies at Nassau Community College. Prof. Jenkins’ prized collection brings much excitement to the Roosevelt Community. This collection is managed and catalogued by our Cultural Curator, Joy Rankin. The mission of these two collections is to enrich the lives of Roosevelt residents, students of all ages, and visitors. We intend to foster tolerance and understanding among all cultures and to stimulate an appreciation for the diversity of the African American Experience.…
