African American Library at the Gregory School is a branch of the Houston Public Library (HPL) in the Fourth Ward, Houston.[1] The library preserves historical information about the African American community in Houston and the surrounding regions.[2] It is the city's first library to focus on African American history and culture.[3] The library features galleries, an oral history recording room, and reading rooms. $11 million from federal community development block grants and construction funds from Houston Public Library and the City of Houston financed the renovation of the Gregory facility.[4] The building was initially used as the Edgar M. Gregory School, a K-8 school of the Houston Independent School District (HISD). The library was renamed to the African American History Research Center in the fall 2022.
