African-American Resources

[Gloria Bowman <gbowman@DPI1.DPI.NC.GOV>]

I have a request from a school system, K-12,  for a comprehensive
listing of African-American materials/resources/literature.  The
system is interested in making available to their schools a "core
collection" of materials.  Does anyone out there know/have a source
that would be useful?  Thanks in advance for your consideration of
the question!!
