#fridayreads: A Very Short Introduction to Black History

Let's be real -- twenty-eight days (or twenty-nine, if you're lucky) is barely enough time to plumb the iceberg's tip, let alone an entire iceberg's worth, of Black history. But you have to start somewhere, so why not start with February? Class E184.5 to 185.98 of the Library of Congress classification system covers African-American history and culture, but that's only the beginning. Black history spans centuries, continents, and every conceivable topic -- so enlist the help of a Jessup Library librarian and find yourself a book of Black history or culture to read today. Be sure to check out the Black History Month displays in the library. Happy reading!
