February is African-American History Month. First celebrated as Negro History Week in 1926, it was expanded to a full month in 1976 by President Gerald Ford. This year's theme is "African Americans and the Civil War". To learn more, you can go to the Library of Congress African-American History Month site at http://www.africanamericanhistorymonth.gov. In addition, you can also check out some of the titles we have in the library such as:
