- Portrait (as available)
- Date and place of birth

Contemporary Black Biography is not limited to coverage of only notable black Americans, nor is it restricted by a manufactured definition of "contemporary." Its multinational coverage spans this century and includes rising personalities as well as groundbreakers and newsmakers in a variety of fields.
In addition to all single volumes in print or electronic format, the first 46 volumes of Contemporary Black Biography are available as one rich text-only database consisting of 12,000 pages and 2,500 narrative biographical profiles. The database consists of original editorial content published from 1991-2004.
While Gale strives to replicate print content, some content may not be available due to rights restrictions.Call your Sales Rep for details.
