February is Black History Month. The Library of Congress, National Archives and Records Administration, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Gallery of Art, National Park Service, Smithsonian Institution and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum join in paying tribute to the generations of African Americans who struggled with adversity to achieve full citizenship in American society. Find more information from The Association for the Study of African American Life and History.
One way we are celebrating Black History Month at the Peabody Institute Library of Danvers is through a reading list of fiction and nonfiction books that celebrate black history.
