Slated to open in early 2009, the African American Library at the Gregory School will be the third major research library and special collection to be established and operated by the Houston Public Library.  Located in historic Freedman's Town at 1300 Victor Street, the library will be housed in the Edgar M. Gregory School, the first public school for African Americans in Houston.  The building, which is an archeological landmark in Texas, will be completely restored.  The library will be dedicated to documenting and preserving the traditions, culture and history of the African American experience in the greater Houston area.
