Black Women in American Culture and History Display

February is Black History Month. We are having a display honoring black women in American culture and history. This is a theme chosen by the Association for the Study of African American Life and History(ASALH).

The list of books on display can be viewed in our catalog. You are welcome to check them out.

You can also find basic information about the four women featured on the ASALH poster in one of our library reference databases. See examples below.
