In collaboration with OCC's International and Multicultural Committee, a book display on slavery and remembering the 400th anniversary of the first slaves landing in America is in the library. The display is on the first floor outside Library Room 112.
Additionally, this year, The New York Times had a major initiative known as The 1619 Project with the intent to "reframe the country’s history, understanding 1619 as our true founding, and placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of black Americans at the very center of the story we tell ourselves about who we are" ("The 1619 Project"). Part of the project was the publication of a special issue dedicated to observing the impact on our history. Read the full issue here.
