"It was 1985 when Henrietta Smith was the first African-American faculty member at the University of South Florida at the School of Library Science.

"I guess I didn't think about the fact that I was African-American, as a matter of fact it was a long time before I even realized that," Smith said. "I mean, I never went there thinking 'oh oh, I'm the only black or I'm the first black.' It never really occurred to me that that was one of the things people noticed because I don't think anybody paid any attention to it."

Smith made her career as a library science professor and as a school librarian now, she's in the Library of Congress."
