In honor of #BlackHistoryMonth we are highlighting the the Black student sit-in @ Wilbur Cross #Library on the #UConn Storrs campus in 1974. The #archives will host the #exhibition "Please Respond Personally" to commemorate the 50th anniversary of this #activism on March 11th
We had the BEST guest speaker today in my Black Families course! We learned all about the children’s book writing process, how developmental scientists can expand their reach, and how sugar and butter is the ONLY way to eat grits. (Okay that last one is still up for debate 😂)
@UCHI_UConn Fellow, Martine Granby, who is jointly appointed with Africana Studies & @UConnJournalism will be giving a talk on 2/28, 12:15 pm "Familial Archives and a Black American Legacy of Care"
