The Chattahoochee Technical College Libraries will be recognizing Black History Month with a display of resources about famous African Americans and related topics. Celebrated in the month of February, Black History Month is intended to raise awareness and increase education about the contributions and struggles of Black Americans.
“It is an opportunity to celebrate the many achievements and contributions of African Americans, who, throughout history, have made the United States the culturally diverse, compassionate and prosperous nation we know today,” said Chattahoochee Technical College Director of Libraries Barbara Moore. “It’s also a time for us to learn about the experiences of African Americans in our society, and the vital role this community has played throughout our shared history.”
Students, faculty, and staff can visit www.chattahoocheetech.edu/services/library/ to search the Chattahoochee Technical College Libraries’ catalog for black studies. Resources available through the catalog include books, films, online resources, and articles. Topics include a wide variety of African-American and African heritage history topics and events.
