In honor of Dr. King’s historic march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, the Laney College Library is featuring a retrospective of literature and images from that historic day in 1965. The exhibit includes curated books from library staff designed to highlight the issue of civil rights as a historical and contemporary issue.

There is also an accompanying exhibit showcasing and celebrating African American History through stamps, including information on Rosa Parks, Barbara Jordan and many others. The exhibits will run for the duration of Black History Month, or until the beginning of March.
