Did you know that each U.S. President since 1976 has recognized February as Black History Month? Though some variation of it had been celebrated for decades prior to that, it was President Gerald Ford who first officially designated the month and urged Americans to “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history”.
Stop by the library to check out some books about the many great Americans we celebrate and the moments that helped shape the Civil Rights Movement.
------------------------------
Here are some call numbers to look for if you would like to find something related to Black History and/or the Civil Rights Movement.
303
305
323
342
344
363
370
920
940
970
and, of course, for biographies look in the biography section under the first three letters of the famous person's last name. So, a book about Martin Luther King, Jr. would be 92 KIN.
