Black History Month: Honoring & Celebrating Black Authors
This February marks 100 years since the first national Black History observance. In 1926, Dr. Carter G. Woodson, a prominent Black author and scholar, started Negro History Week, which would later, in 1976, expand as Black History Month to cover the entire month of February. Woodson’s goal for this month was to not only educate people on Black history, but to also preserve Black history and to celebrate Black achievements.
In celebration of this month & specifically of Black authors, we’ve put together just a few fiction recommendations by Black authors, from classics to modern literature. These can all be found in our collection, either in the stacks or online. If you’d like even more books to browse, come in and check out our Black History Month display!
