New African American Literature and History Collection

Created By: Seyvion Scott, M.S.I.S., First Year Experience Librarian, at MCC Libraries

The African American Literature and History library guide is designed to educate college students, faculty and staff, and the broader Rochester community on the unique and powerful legacies of local African American leaders from Rochester, NY. Created by Seyvion Scott, the First-Year Experience Librarian, in honor of the Black History Month Celebration at Monroe Community College (MCC), this is the first subject guide to bring awareness to a unique cohort of African American historical figures. In honoring and remembering the rich cultural histories, accomplishments, and monumental endeavors of outstanding African Americans from yesteryear, we bring awareness to their legacies and recognize the positive social change each individual had on the City of Rochester and the United States at large. Inside this guide you will discover new books added to our library's print and digital collections, a description of each item, and a brief excerpt about each African American historical figure who created lasting social change in their lifetimes.
