Finally, this article cites some of the experiences I have had and the contributions I have made in the area of the publication of nonfiction books by and about black people.

As a writer I classify myself as a bibliomemoirist. I am a bibliographer specializing in nonfiction books by and about black people published in the twentieth century in the United States. I have compiled a 907-book bibliography of such books published in the last decade of that century. I have reviewed many of these books, which I call "afroimprints." My reviews very often are seeded with my own perspectives on what life has been for me as an African American man who lived for seventy-five years in that century. My book, "A Brother Like Me: A Memoir" (Queenhyte, 1995) chronicles my experiences as a black man who came of age in the U.S. Army in Europe and in the Southwest Pacific in World War II.
My essays, book reviews, annotations, opinion pieces, personal narratives, and the like have been published online under the rubric "Dunbar On Black Books" since 1996.

I have been the chairman of the Publications Committee of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. and a contributor of book reviews to its "Sphinx" magazine, the longest running black magazine after the "Crisis" magazine of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. I contributed the "Epilogue" to the seventeenth printing of "The History of Alpha Phi Alpha: A Development in College Life" by Charles H. Wesley (Foundation Publishers, 2000). My forthcoming book, "Black Nonfiction Books, Their Authors, and Their Publishers: A History, A Bibliography, and A Memoir" (Queenhyte, 2001), scheduled for September, 2001 publication, is the result of a blending of these interests and experiences.
