Black History is American History. One way to explore our country’s fascinating and complex history is to browse the book display in the PLC 1st floor Lounge.

Here is a sample of the titles you will see:
America Behind the Color Line by Henry Louis Gates, Jr.

The History of Black Business in America : Capitalism, Race,
Entrepreneurship by Juliet E.K. Walker

Acres of Skin : Human Experiments at Holmesburg Prison: A Story of Abuse and Exploitation in the Name of Medical Science by Allen M. Hornblum

This little list barely scratches the surface of the diverse selection both in the display and elsewhere in the Library’s collection. Stop by and take a look — books are available for checkout!
