While processing some administrative records I came across a Sepia Magazine dated June 1974. As I leafed through the magazine to find the relevance to the institution, I found Dr. Mayme Agnew Clayton, featured in a 5 page spread! At the time that the article was written it focused on the Third World Bookstore. A bookstore she co-owned before she founded the Western States Black Research Center.
Years ago, the MCLM received a sizable collection, the Mervyn M. Dymally collection. Mervyn Dymally served in the Senate as well as the State Assembly of California. The items in this collection ranged from oral histories, photographs and clippings. The most interesting item I came across was Dymally’s resume, according to his resume we lived on the same street in California!
