Pamphlets from the Daniel A. P. Murray Collection, Library of Congress

In addition to the hundreds of books by Black authors that were sent to the Paris Exposition by the Library of Congress as part of the Exhibit of the American Negroes, hundreds of pamphlets by Black authors were also sent as well. Many of the pamplets sent to the Paris Exposition are now available as part of the American Memory Project at the Library Congress.
