African American Librarianship plays an important role in the whole librarianship in the United States. African American Librarianship has gone through the infancy period, the laying period, the development period, the period of turning up to today＇s boom period, and several factors of collections about African American, African Amer- ican librarians and their education, independent African American libraries, African American professional organiza- tions about librarianship and the research on the African American librarianship promote the development of African American librarianship. The development process of African American librarianship reflects the social attitudes to- wards racial issues during different historical periods in the United States, and the process illustrates the democratic process in American society in microcosm.
