Charting Our Path: Celebrating 50 Years of Black Studies Traveling Exhibit
Daily until December 2
Love Library North & Link
This 4-panel traveling exhibit shares historical snapshots of one of the oldest Black Studies departments in the nation at the University of Nebraska at Omaha - highlighting debates over curriculum, attempts to downgrade the department to a program, and the mutual engagement between campus and community.
The banners share archival materials such as newspaper clippings, department documents, and photos, chronicling events from the 1969 campus sit-in to the celebration of the “Omaha 54” student activists 52 years later.
The history of the Department of Black Studies had been characterized by a constant struggle for survival, but also by the enduring engagement and support of the Omaha Black community. Learn about the civil rights origins of the department, battles for legitimacy in the eyes of the university, the role of the Omaha chapter of the NAACP in the department’s survival, and much more.
Free to view the exhibit.
