In 1984, the Pasadena Historical Society produced a videotape on black history in Pasadena entitled,
The Changing Rose.
Researcher Robin Kelley interviewed more than forty members of Pasadena's African-American community and collected photographs
and other memorabilia for use in the videotape. The materials were subsequently included in a 1985 exhibit mounted at the
Historical Society entitled, "Early Days in Pasadena's Black History." The materials and research collected by Kelley make
up the Black History Collection.
The Black History Collection consists of taped interviews, indices, donor lists, photographs, family material, newspaper articles,
information about churches, community leaders, education, and pioneers. It also includes the Samuel C. Sheats Papers.
