Dorothy Louise Porter Wesley (May 25, 1905 – December 17, 1995) was a librarian, bibliographer and curator, who built the Moorland-Spingarn Research Center at Howard University into a world-class research collection. An African-American, she published numerous bibliographies on African-American history.
When she realized that the Dewey Decimal System had only two numbers, one for slavery and one for colonization, she created space, in the Dewey Decimal System, for African American productivity.
