Biographical History
Gladys H. MacDonald was a Harlem-based librarian and community organizer. Throughout the 1930s and 1940s, MacDonald worked in a variety of librarian and teaching positions for institutions such as the Schomburg Collection for Negro Literature and History (New York Public Library), New York Amsterdam News, 135th Street YMCA, and Brooklyn College.
In 1951 MacDonald founded Harlem Speaks, an interracial group that held community forums and meetings featuring speakers such as Langston Hughes and George Schuyler. The organization suffered from lack of funding and ceased functioning in 1959.
