Welcome! The Black Studies collection contains materials related primarily to African American history, African American literature, Africana studies, the African diaspora, slavery, emancipation, Civil Rights, racism, and colonization. The collection also contains materials on art, music, politics, food, sports, and science. This guide provides a portal to the Library’s collections relevant to Black Studies. Information here will help you to research and explore information concerning people of African descent across the world, with a specific emphasis on Africa, the Americas, and the United States. Because of the wide-ranging nature of Black Studies, other collections in the Library will contain relevant materials.
