Documentary Tour and Description of Fabulous Library<\/h1>\n

by Paul Hunt<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Back in 2009, filmmaker Arnold Herr, assisted by Mosiah Kennard, made a wonderful documentary of the Mayme Clayton Library and Museum.\u00a0 The film features Avery Clayton, Mayme’s son and director of the Library. ( Mrs. Clayton had passed before the Library was open.)\u00a0 The film was shown at the Library but lost in the chaos of the eviction by Ridley-Thomas and the ensuing gargantuan problem of packing up and moving 2 million books and items.<\/p>\n

In a strange set of circumstances, we have found a copy of the film, and Ranai Clayton, Mayme Clayton’s grandson, is excited to show the public what the fantastic collection of African-American books, literature and history was like when it was at the Culver City location.<\/p>\n

The Library is Safe<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you read the previous article on the Mysterious Disappearance of the Mayme Clayton Library, the question on everyone’s mind:\u00a0 is the Library safe?\u00a0 I have been assured by Mr. Clayton that the Library is safe in a secure Storage Vault.<\/p>\n

What the Library needs is a new home with enough space to display the over 2 million books and items, and to get it re-opened for research.\u00a0 The Mayme Clayton Library and Museum would like your help to find a new home and they are in need of funding to re-activate the collection.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, travel back in time to 2009 and see this beautiful collection before the despicable politics of a few Los Angeles politicians took it away from the public.\u00a0 Please enjoy the documentary and share it with your friends.<\/p>\n
