The National Cyclopedia of the Colored Race

The National Cyclopedia of the Colored Race (also known as the Cyclopedia of the Colored Race) was an encyclopedia about subjects of interest to African Americans published in 1919.

Clement Richardson, a faculty member at Tuskegee Institute who became president of Lincoln Institute within a year or two of its publication, was the editor.

[1] Financed by a New Orleans–based group of African Americans, it was published by the National Publishing Company of Montgomery, Alabama.

[2] A 1920 review in the Journal of African American History criticized a lack of details on its subjects but said it would be a valuable sourcebook over time.
