Black History Month - more library resources

Black History Month - President Obama and Frederick Douglass


February is known as the month to celebrate African-American History Month following the remembrance of the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday and the second inauguration of the first African-American President of the United States.

To enhance your African-American History experience, the TCC Library website (http://library.tulsacc.edu ) has a variety of electronic resources (e-resources) to help you participate in the celebration.

The Black History Month research guide (created by a librarian) provides one-stop research help and useful e-resources about this history--including Tulsa resources on African-American History and links to online African-American collections from the Library of Congress. It also includes a great online exhibit by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).

Use TCC library resources to learn about the impact of civil rights on American History (i.e. Emancipation Proclamation, post-World War II civil rights, affirmative action) by searching for “race and civil rights” in articles at Issues & Controversies in American History --an article database available at the Library website under the Article Databases tab.

Access the Digital Libraries or e-books by clicking on the yellow Books & More tab at the Library homepage.  Access research guides and article databases by clicking on the respective yellow tabs at the Library homepage.
