Library News and Events
Common Reading: March
Display and Research Guide
In support of discussion and research related to Common Reading 2021, March, written by John Lewis and Andrew Aydin and illustrated by Nate Powell, the library has prepared both a physical and digital display for students, faculty and staff. The physical display is in the Reference Reading Room, and showcases the Civil Rights movement with a focus on SNCC (Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee) and the Freedom Riders. Ebook covers in the display have a QR code that links to the library catalog page with a link to the full-text of the book. The research guide on Common Reading: March has links to a dozen videos about Lewis, Freedom Riders, Civil Rights movement and SNCC. The “Books and Historical Resources” tab lists books and ebooks in our collection about these topics. It also links to the library’s digital access to several prominent black newspapers. Researchers can read contemporaneous coverage of Lewis and others in the Civil Rights movement, as viewed by the African American Community of the day.
