Since the 1980s, she has produced landmark work as a cultural diversity researcher, documenting growing sociocultural conversions and multiculturalism that has become a reflection of contemporary American society.","Dr. Oliver was born on December 16, 1947 in Jacksonville, Florida. In 1965, Kitty Oliver was one of the first five Black freshmen to enroll at the University of Florida and live on campus after the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1965. She graduated in 1969 with a Bachelor of Arts in English. During college, she met her Richard \"Ricky\" C. Oliver, Jr., who she married in 1969, and together they started a folk-rock musical group.","In 1971, Kitty Oliver started working one of the first Black reporters and columnists for the Miami Herald, covering Broward and Miami-Dade County. She chronicled the history of the Black community in South Florida, including Provident Hospital, Dr. Von Mizell and Dr. James Sistrunk, Eula Johnson, and Samuel Morrison.","Oliver left the Miami Herald in 1990 to pursue a Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing at Florida International University and graduated in 1994. This led to her writing \"Multicolored Memories of a Black Southern Girl,\" a collection autobiographical essays about coming of age with integration and cultural diversity in Jacksonville and attending the University of Florida, working in South Florida, and her international travel.  ","After earning her M.A., she began the Race and Change Oral History Project, collecting oral histories of minority groups in Hollywood, Florida. She worked as a fulltime professor of Creative Writing and Multicultural Literature, Oral History Writing, and Ethnic Communication at Florida International University from 1994 to 1996 and at Florida Atlantic University's Broward Campuses from 1996 to 2006. During that time, she developed the Race and Change oral history methodology for cross-cultural research by students and communities. The work includes the Race and Change Project, the Kitty Oliver Oral Histories Archive, and the multimedia audio, webcast radio and television Race and Change Initiative with intergenerational stories. She donated her collection of 125 interviews to the African American Research Library and Cultural Center Special collections in 2004.","Oliver completed a Ph.D. in Comparative Studies from Florida Atlantic University in 2009, focusing on race and ethnic communication. Her degree included the creation of the 10-part public television documentary series \"Crossing Cultures, Changing Lives\" featuring  archival Race and Change Oral Histories narrators.","Dr. Kitty Oliver also specializes in books, television documentaries and literary performances which explore race and ethnic issues. Dr. Oliver conducts community oral history field work and is a member of the Oral History Association (OHA). Additionally, she serves as president of Kitty O.

","From 1977 to 1980, Library-In-Action staff canvassed neighborhoods and offered library resources to the Collier City community before the Collier City Library was built.

Tyrone Bryant became the first Director of the Langston Hughes Library which opened April 26, 1969 and served the needs of inner-city residents. Bryant moved to Fort Lauderdale in 1975 to become the LIA Director. The many programs conducted during the BCL LIA project originated from Tyrone Byrant's experience with programs at the Langston Hughes Library, such as the Homework Assistance Program. In 1983 Bryant was named Assistant Director of the Broward County Library system in charge of Special Services while also retaining his position as Project Director of LIA. Bryant also served as the chairman of the Sistrunk Historical Festival from 1983 until 1988. He married Claudia Wright in 1986. Tyrone Bryant died on February 24, 1988 at age 45.

It started in 1975 as the Broward County Library \"Project for the Economically Disadvantaged\" but soon became internationally known as Library-in-Action Project. The project ran until 2002.","The Von D. Mizell Library in the historic Sistrunk neighborhood, which became part of the Broward County Library system in 1974, was the headquarters of Library-In-Action. As a result of LIA-authored grant funding, four additional libraries were opened: Dania Beach Library (Feb. 5, 1979), Collier City Library (1980), Rock Island Library (1980), and Carver Ranches Library (1982). Also in 1980, the Von D. Mizell Library moved to a new building with a larger collection. These five libraries provided youth and adults with free access to books, literacy classes, and tutoring services. They also created tailor-made services and programs based on community input.","Broward County Library's Assistant Director, Samuel Morrison, hired an administrative team to oversee the LIA program: Tyrone Bryant (Director), Janet Hansen (Assistant Director), and Tanya Simons-Oparah (Outreach Services Coordinator). The LIA team earned millions of dollars in grants, trained librarians and staff, and conducted programming. ","From 1977 to 1980, Library-In-Action staff canvassed neighborhoods and offered library resources to the Collier City community before the Collier City Library was built. The LIA's Homework Assistance program bussed children from elementary schools to the Collier City Library, where they received help with their homework and school projects, graduating more than 200 students in its early years. ","The LIA project also involved a Bookmobile and a Footmobile service - where staff went door-to-door promoting libraries and delivering books. Other notable programs included speakers such as Alex Haley (author of \"Roots\") in 1980, Elton Fox, and Tom Feelings. The Black Heritage program educated children on Africa, and an African hut was constructed in the Von D. Mizell Library as part of the programming.","LIA Director Tyrone Bryant coined the name \"Library-In-Action\". Tyrone Bryant (1942-1988) was a graduate of Florida Agriculture and Mechanical University. Prior to his directorship at the Langston Hughes Library he was the director of the Committee for the Corona-East Elmhurst Community Corp, where he began working in 1967. The Committee's activism ultimately formed the Langston Hughes Cultural Center and Library in the Corona neighborhood in New York City. Tyrone Bryant became the first Director of the Langston Hughes Library which opened April 26, 1969 and served the needs of inner-city residents. Bryant moved to Fort Lauderdale in 1975 to become the LIA Director. The many programs conducted during the BCL LIA project originated from Tyrone Byrant's experience with programs at the Langston Hughes Library, such as the Homework Assistance Program. In 1983 Bryant was named Assistant Director of the Broward County Library system in charge of Special Services while also retaining his position as Project Director of LIA. Bryant also served as the chairman of the Sistrunk Historical Festival from 1983 until 1988. He married Claudia Wright in 1986. Tyrone Bryant died on February 24, 1988 at age 45. The Rock Island Library was rededicated in his honor on April 20, 1988 as the Tyrone Bryant Library Branch.","The 1980 Sistrunk Historical Festival saw the dedication of the Von D. Mizell Center which housed the Von D. Mizell Branch Library.","The LIA program collaborated with the City of Fort Lauderdale to create the Sistrunk Historical Festival in 1979, celebrating the county's black pioneers. The festival began as a two-day event to initiate economic redevelopment and held programming on African American culture, and under Bryant's chairmanship grew to a month-long event drawing over 100,000 people by 1988.","This collection received file level processing.
