Black History Month Pop-Up Exhibition

Visit the Special Collections Research Center’s pop-up exhibition on February 19 in celebration of Black History Month. The display will feature historical materials related to Black activism, particularly among college students both nationally and at Syracuse University, in the 1960s and 1970s. Photographs, manuscripts, printed materials, posters and rare books will provide insight into the struggle for racial equality as well as the demand for and establishment of programs that empowered Black students and communities.
