The library is celebrating Black History Month with an exhibit on The Great Migrations.
The Great Migrations occurred in two major waves. The first occurred from 1916 to 1940 as the population moved to northern industrial cities. The second occurred from 1940 to 1970 following the Great Depression and the end of the sharecropping system. Major cities were the main destination of those leaving during the migration with large numbers of African-Americans relocating to New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and Western cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Phoenix, and Seattle.
The exhibit will be on display in front of the library through February 2019.
Attention Faculty! Ever wonder what the library can do to help with your research or teaching? This semester, we'll be offering three different drop-in sessions at the library highlighting the resources and services available to you. Hope to see you there!
