A former teacher's lifelong collection of African American history to go up for auction CBSVillage
— One of the largest collections of African American artifacts is going on the auction block after a retired school teacher spent a lifetime putting it together.
Former New York school teacher Elizabeth Meaders has collected artifacts for decades that document the African American experience. "I spent my whole life because I have a love, not just of African American history, but I love history. And history is the basis of patriotism," Meaders told CBS News. "This could be a museum, whether it's here in New York or in any town or city in America. It's a ready-to-go museum. And that's what it should be — a museum," Guernsey's Auction House president Arlan Ettinger told CBS News.
