Beginning Feb. 4, the library will have a display of important black Americans from current leaders like President Barack Obama to historical figures like Carter G. Woodson, the father of Black History Month. The library staff will feature books and multimedia from the collection in adult, young adult and children reading levels. Fun activities and bookmarks will also be available.
Join them as they recognize and “honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history” (Ford, 1976).
