Well, our redoubtable marketing folks have sent out book display material for February, and of course Black History Month is among them. That's one thing sorted. Now my favorite part: Choosing the books.
@LiberalLibrarian
I recommend Half American by Matthew Delmont.
@MelissaHDavis @LiberalLibrarian 2nded. Upended my understanding of history from about 1930 through the Civil Rights movement in the US
@b4cks4w @MelissaHDavis I don't have that one in my collection. But I do have his book about the making of "Roots".
@LiberalLibrarian @MelissaHDavis also good. And see about getting The Nicest Kids In Town, which details how American Bandstand kept it white and uptight.
