Black History Month Library Collaboration

At a glance

  • What: an invitation from library staff to work with the committee on Black History Month programming in February 2027.
  • Where it stands (Oct 13, 2026): a September 24 email from the library included materials on the 2027 national theme, From Black Print Culture to Digital Blackness: A Century of Black History Commemoration, and a suggestion to look at African American newspapers held by the American Antiquarian Society. The library appears to want the committee to host an event with library support.
  • Next: the chair will follow up with the library contact to learn how much the library will do versus the committee, and the minutes will record the direction.
