The Kentucky Commission on Human Rights in 1970 introduced
the Gallery of Great Black Kentuckians, an educational program that uses biographical
posters and bookmarks to recognize Kentucky African Americans who have made unique
accomplishments, or who have helped the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the nation by
breaking racial, professional or other barriers, or whose stories have been significant
in state history. Students, educators and members of the public enjoy the Gallery posters
and bookmarks. They are widely used by schools and libraries as tools to bring Kentucky
African American role models and Kentucky history into classrooms and to the public.
