2007 Black History Month


(Picture downloaded from http://www.asalh.org/ 01/25/07)

Black History Month is an annual observance in February to honor the history and contributions of African Americans to American life. It also pays tribute to inspirational African Americans from the past, promotes knowledge of Black History and experience, and also heightens the confidence and awareness of Black people in their cultural heritage. The national theme for this year is "From Slavery to Freedom: The Story of Africans in the Americas", dedicated to the struggles of peoples of African descent to achieve freedom and equality in the Americas during the age of emancipation.

To mark this event, we have compiled a bibliography consisting of books, journal articles and websites to accompany the exhibit on the first floor of McCain Library.
