Across from Loan and Reserve
In honor of Black History Month 2009, Morgan Library will exhibit books on African American history, life and culture. The display is located across from the Loan and Reserve desk.
2009 is an historic year for African American history. We witnessed the swearing in of the first African American President, and we also celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the National Association of the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).
Celebrate this month with a book or two selected from our collection on the rich tapestry that is African American history. You’ll be glad you did!
