The Chatt State Library is recognizing African American History Month with three displays in the Library as well as daily postings on the Library's Facebook page.
Two of the three displays are sponsored on the college campus by the Chatt State Student Affairs department and the Multicultural Services office. These two displays are the "Bright Ideas: African American Inventors" and "Black in Blue and Gray: Black Americans in the Civil War."
The
Bright Ideas display is produced by the Mary Walker Historical & Educational Foundation. The display has invented objects to see and short informational biographies to read.
