| 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.
