February is Black History Month. The Swisher Library has many items, in print and electronic formats, available to learn more about Black history and from Black authors. The books linked on this guide are a small sample of what the Library has available. Search the Library's catalog for additional resources. There are also numerous streaming videos on this guide that are available through Kanopy to our patrons. These streaming videos offer educational and intimate looks at Black lives, ideas, art, and more. Visit Kanopy's African American hub to explore more streaming videos.
