Collections Tour: Black Print Exhibition

Join us for a Tour for the Black Print Exhibition Gallery at the Cornell Library's Rare and Manuscript Collections and some hot cocoa afterwards!

“Our Warfare Lies in the Field of Thought.” Black Print: African American Writing, 1773-1910 draws on Cornell’s rich Africana Rare and Manuscript Collections to highlight the many ways Black Americans have used print and the press as spaces for artistic expression, communication and organizing, antislavery activism, humor, education, civil rights, and more. These items, ranging from poetry collections and autobiographies to novels and newspapers, showcase early Black artistic expression, what Dorothy Porter described as the “beginnings of the Afro-American’s artistic consciousness.”
