This collection contains "Queen Like Me: The True Story of Girls Who Changed the World," a book by author, two-time FAMU alum, and former "Miss FAMU" pageant queen Dr. Kimberly Brown Pellum. It includes various copies of the publication and miscellaneous documents associated with it, such as children's worksheets.According to https://www.childrensdefense.org/people/dr-kimberly-brown-pellum/, “Dr. Kimberly Brown Pellum is an assistant professor of history at Florida A&M University and founding director of MuseumofBlackBeauty.com, an interactive digital history initiative. She specializes in the history of 20th-century African American women, image-making, southern culture, and freedom. Her most recent book is Black Beauties: African American Pageant Queens in the Segregated South. Her contributions to publicly accessible history include work at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History, The National Park Service, The Rosa Parks Museum, and Google’s Arts & Culture series.”

Dr. Brown-Pellum donated these books herself to the museum, and the reading activity was introduced as part of a collaborative initiative to promote "Queen Like Me" by 2015 Miss FAMU, Dominique James. After a preliminary survey was conducted, it was discovered that the records had no original order. Thus, during the cataloging process, the records were grouped according to similarities in subject matter, material types, and material dates. The records were placed in acid-free file folders. After being appropriately labeled, the folders were put in alphabetical and numerical order and placed in acid-free boxes. A content listing was made, appropriate labels were attached, and the boxes were stored in the archival storage area.

The record types identified in this collection included publications and instructional/administrative materials.
