Resources for Black History Month<\/strong> by James Tasato Mellone, Historical Cultural and Social Sciences Librarian<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The QC Library celebrates Black History Month this February 2022 by acknowledging ongoing African-American achievements despite the continuance of racial injustice and racism against the Black American community, both locally and nationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Black History Month 2022 guide<\/a> shows several intellectual and artistic creations which, if knowledge is power, may offer some hope for future racial justice. Perhaps such creations can also help us see that the African-American experience is the American experience writ small and large, and that Black Lives Matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of our Africana Studies research guide<\/a>, the Black History Month 2022 guide<\/a> provides a selection of streaming videos, ebooks, as well as streaming music, performances & stories in African American studies. Here are a few highlights from the guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
