A new black publication has
been established to provide a bi
monthly
index of important
w ritings on black people. Called

the publication is based
in
Herndon, Va., and edited by a
black lib ra ria n
and scholar,
Burton E. Lampkin. Lampkin
says his publication’ s indexing
efforts w ill center around the
following categories: A frica ,
A r t and A rtists,C h ild re n and
Youth, Economics, Education,
Employment,
Entertainment,
General Information and News,
Health and Medicine, History,
Housing, Law and Enforcement,

Rural Issues. In addition, each
category w ill have up to 13 sub
headings,
and considerable
attention
w ill be given
to
miscellaneous w ritings
and
events that do not fit neatly into
the established categories.
In its fir s t issue, the periodi
cal indexed some 100 articles,
books, and reports. A rticle s
from the index, at this point, are
expected to come from some 80
