We celebrate the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday in January.
The Library website (http://library.tulsacc.edu
) contains printed and electronic resources (e-resources) that demonstrate the
impact this great American and Nobel Peace Prize winner had on our country and
the world.
More than 100 books and videos in the Library collection focus
on Dr. King--including several biographies and books about King’s use of non-violent
civil disobedience to gain civil rights, the Southern Christian Leadership
Conference (the major civil rights organization he lead), and books about his
impact on American society (e.g. three
books by Pulitzer Prize winning author Taylor Branch)
At History &
Politics Out Loud, a TCC Digital Library resource at the Historical Voices
Gallery, you can Hear Dr. King speak--including the I Have a Dream speech and the famous drum major for
justice speech.
Included among the more than 1.1 million images at the ARTStor
database are photographs of civil rights marches in the 1960’s which Dr. King
organized.
To access the books and videos or the digital library
resource, click on the yellow Books & More tab at the Library homepage and
use the Library Catalog or Digital Library link. To access ARTStor, click on
the yellow Article Databases tab and use the A to Z Databases link. (214 words)
