African Americans and Labor "The 2025 Black History Month theme, African Americans and Labor, focuses on the various and profound ways that work and working of all kinds – free and unfree, skilled, and unskilled, vocational and voluntary – intersect with the collective experiences of Black people." The Halle Library is pleased to highlight materials in our collections that illustrate, explain, and provide context to the work done by African Americans and its importance to our history. All the online materials listed below are available to the EMU NetID holders. For assistance identifying additional library resources on African Americans and labor, please Ask-a-Librarian. |
