Library DVD Collection Tells the Story of the African American Experience

To see select titles from this series stop by the display cases on the 4th floor of the Gumberg Library near the Reference Desk.

African American Perspectives DVD Collection

The critically acclaimed African American video resources in this collection are themselves testimony to the richness, diversity, dynamism and universality of the African American experience. Their insights into the social forces and racialized structures, as well as the people, cultures and events, which have shaped the U.S. from slavery to the present are unmatched, providing a rich context for understanding and confronting the structural racism as well as the prejudices that haunt us still.
