This year’s book display focuses on recent acquisitions in the library’s collection that address historical and persistent issues of race and racism in today’s society.
This book display will be on display starting February 1 until February 28.

This show explores African American music, from Spirituals, Gospel, and Jazz to Soul, Hip-Hop, and R&B by demonstrating where each style came from and why, as well as the cultural/social evolution of these styles and their influences and connect them to the contemporary styles of today. This is done through stories and musical examples, all done in Ball in the House’s signature a cappella style. The show celebrates the enormous influence of African American music and musicians, but also delves into how racism affected these musical styles in general and how it affected specific musical artists.
Sponsored by the Office of Student Engagement and Leadership
