Gertrude Howard Mason librarian
Gertrude Mason (1887-1971), librarian at Wiley
College at Marshall, Texas for 42 years, was the first
Black professional librarian in Texas to become a member
of TLA and was an early inspiration to many
African-American librarians in the state. The Wiley
Carnegie Library was, at that time, the only building on
a campus for African-Americans used exclusively for
library purposes.
