A Black Women's History of the United States
by Daina Ramey Berry
The award-winning Revisioning American History series continues with this groundbreaking new history of Black women in the United States (Ibram X. Kendi)--the perfect companion to An Indigenous People's History of the United States and An African American and Latinx History of the United States. An empowering and intersectional history that centers the stories of African American women across 400+ years, showing how they are--and have always been--instrumental in shaping our country. In centering Black women's stories, two award-winning historians seek both to empower African American women and to show their allies that Black women's unique ability to make their own communities while combatting centuries of oppression is an essential component in our continued resistance to systemic racism and sexism.

Troubling Times by Sandy Irwin, Library Director
Our nation is in turmoil. Communities across the United States are coming together to support one another during these unprecedented times. Taking the time to inform oneself about our history can provide context for what is happening now.
I attained my Master of Library Science from Kent State University. Kent State has an annual remembrance of the events of May 4, 1970, when members of the Ohio National Guard gunned down unarmed college students during a protest of the Vietnam War. Derf Backderf's graphic novel "Kent State: Four Dead in Ohio" takes a comprehensive look at the four individuals who were shot that day. It is well worth your time. Most of all, take care of each other. Look out for your neighbors. Take this time to strengthen the bonds of community. |
