Josey is fondly remem
bered as the founder of the
Black Caucus of the ALA
(BCALA), and has several
scholarships named in his
honor.
He led a walkout of
300 conference attendees in
protest of the defeat of the
resolution condemning the
war at the ALA convention in
1970.
As President of the
ALA, Josey chose the theme,
“Forging Coalitions for the
Public Good.”
“Coalitions for Josey
meant, throughout his term
and career, pushing for gen
der equality in libraries, push
ing for bilingual and multilin
gual collections, and pushing
for access for people with
physical disabilities.
Most of all Josey's
vision meant advocating for
continued and expanded free
access to the wealth of knowl
edge and information in
libraries.
On the international
scene, Josey led the fight in
the 1980s to maintain sanc
tions on South Africa in
protest of the country's former
apartheid system of official
segregation and inequality.”
Josey was a noted lec
turer for the United States
Information Agency in Africa.
He authored 12 books, over
400 articles, and was the
recipient of numerous awards
from various state and inter
national library associations.
The ALA bestowed its highest
award Honorary
Membership to Josey in 2002.
In 1985, Dr. Josey
received a Congressional
Resolution from the United
