Welcome to Black History Month




In February students of all ages and races reflect on African American history. Many different types of resources in the Carolina Room can help them. The photograph collection called "An African American Album", for example, captures family groups, churches, social gatherings, and other moments of black life in Charlotte. Pictured above is a family portrait from 1920: the photograph complements the information on the same people from the census of the same year.
