For more than a decade, I have been researching, studying and writing Black history in Omaha. In order to do this, I have accumulated many resources including books, newspaper articles, journal articles, magazine articles, firsthand accounts in interviews, historical ephemera, and much more. In order to promote the study of Omaha Black history, I’m sharing my bibliography here with almost 500 resources for the public to use.

If you use it, please cite me.
