Obama did read Pushkin's Secret Journal

Very interesting revelation - 
Turns out Barak Obama did read the erotic book by Russian famous author Alexander Pushkin (1799-1837) who was black. See http://russianliterature.blogspot.com

Research on school desegregation in Clarendon County, SC

Hello, I am a doctoral student at Morgan State University in Baltimore, Md. I am currently doing my dissertation on the aftermath of school desegregation in Clarendon County, South Carolina. 1945-1965. Do you have any relevent primary sources which will aid in my work.[NAACP Records, Urban League, Political Records etc.]

P.S. What is the process for using the archives when I visit the museum.
