African American Audiovisuals

We're near the end of Black History Month. African Americans have contributed a lot to society.Contibutions include helping to free slaves to inventing the streetlight to creating hair products. I could list thousands of contributions made by african americans starting from the beginning of time to the present.

The SSCC libraries houses a number of audiovisuals highlighting african americans. We have videotapes of interviews with authors such as Alice Walker and Maya Angelou and playwright August Wilson. Speeches by Dr. Martin Luther King are also available on videotape. We also have the Eyes On The Prize Series that was broadcast on PBS.

To find audiovisuals by or about african americans go to www.sheltonstate.edu/library. Click on library catalog and go to the search box. In the search box type in african americans(av). This will bring up a list of avaiable audiovisuals. Audiovisuals are available for in library use only for students. Faculty may check out items to be used in class.

Of course, we have plenty of books,too!
