More Than Just History: Celebrating Black Excellence in the Bull City & Beyond
Happy Black History Month!
February is here, and while the days might still be short, the legacy we are celebrating is massive. Black History Month isn’t just about looking back--it’s about understanding how the past shapes our "right now" and fuels our future.
At the Durham Tech Library, we are turning the spotlight on the stories, struggles, and triumphs of Black Americans not just as chapters in a history book, but as the living, breathing foundation of our community right here in Durham. We don't want you to just memorize dates; we want you to explore voices.
This month, we’ve curated a mix of resources that are accurate, powerful, and fun.
On display at the Main Campus Library, we’ve pulled books that go beyond the famous figures you already know.
