About the Black History Month eBook Display
The CLTCC Library in conjunction with the CLTCC Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Taskforce invites you to celebrate Black History Month through a curated virtual display of ebooks written by Black writers and/or about the Black experience.
About Black History Month
Established in 1926 by noted African American historian Carter G. Woodson, Black History Month evolved to become a month-long event in 1976. February was selected because Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln have birthdays during the month. The annual event provides an opportunity to learn about the history, traditions, and contributions of Black Americans.
The theme for 2022 is Black Health and Wellness, and explores the multiple legacies of knowledge, scholarship, and practice around health and wellness, throughout the world of Black America. Read more about this year’s theme at Asalh: Black History Themes.
