Black History @ PLU

Did you know that between 1964-1973 the number of African American students on the PLU campus grew from about 11 to 139?

This is just one of the facts Holly & I discovered as we worked gathering information in preparation for Black History Month. With guidance from Empress Kris, we dove into Masts, Sagas & various files in the Archives.

The final products include a display in the Library Lobby and an online exhibit of images, documents & clips from two recently conducted oral histories with PLU African-American alumni.

The Library will also be hosting a screening of the movie Good Hair on Tuesday, Feb. 14 @ 3pm in the Library Lobby.
