Little to No Progress in Ethnic Minority Representation in ALA, and American Libraries Since 1985
Librarians are NOT representative of the current US Demographics
According to my calculations, the ALA had 88.5% White Librarians in 1985, and 87.97% in 2009-2010.
According to my calculations, the ALA had 1.8% Asian/Pacific Islander Librarians in 1985, and 2.7% in 2009-2010.
According to my calculations, the ALA had 1.8% Latino Librarians in 1985, and 3.08% in 2009-2010.
According to my calculations, the ALA had 6.1% African American Librarians in 1985, and 5.19% in 2009-2010.
In the US, the above image is linked to the image below.
