'Endangered Species': Black Male Librarian
Of the roughly 110,000 credentialed librarians in the United States, only about 600 are black men. That's about 0.5 percent of all librarians. Put another way, if they all got together for a meeting, they could probably hold it comfortably in your local library.

Someone just emailed me the link to the Bryant Park Project's show so I could listen to this segment. They do an excellent job explaining the scarcity, the cultural importance of librarians, and what it takes to get a library degree.
