  • Exhibit: Poets and Publishers of the Black Arts Movement
    –
    ZSR Library, Special Collections & Archives Research Room (Room 625)
    The 1960s and 70s saw a flowering of African-American poetry unprecedented in American literary history. The poets of the Black Arts Movement fused artistic experimentation with political engagement, giving voice to the complexities of the Black experience in the years immediately following the civil rights movement. This exhibit draws on ZSR Special Collections’ extensive holdings to highlight the achievements of both the poets and the people who published them during these pivotal decades in American history.

    –
    ZSR Library, Library Auditorium (Room 404)
