(1/2) In honor of #BlackHistoryMonth, we acknowledge the deep history, contributions and power of Black Americans. We’ll be sharing some Black oral history projects for you to browse.
The Black Oral History Collection is a project housed @WSUPullman’s Terrell Library.
We are saddened to hear of Joe Bernal’s passing, a World War II veteran and former legislator who championed Mexican Americans and bilingual education. We honor and thank him for his legacy.
From @ExpressNews’ @ElaineAyala:
