“Educate, Inspire, and Celebrate” are the headlines of a lovely display now on view on the First Floor of Snell Library. Colorful posters are surrounded by inspiring quotes commemorating Black History Month. A wide range of information is available including a history of African kings and queens, African Americans in the old West, and black scientists and inventors. There are also posters displaying some of the most influential figures in black history including
Ella Fitzgerald,
Madam C.J. Walker,
Sojourner Truth,
Malcolm X, and
Colin Powell (click on the names to find what resources Snell Library has to offer about their lives and legacy).
Thank you to Mr. Kantigi Camara, the Head Librarian of the African American Institute, and his students Tawana Howard and Misha Thomas for curating and installing this exhibit.
