“Charting Our Path: Celebrating 50 Years of Black Studies” celebrates the 50th anniversary of UNO’s Department of Black Studies. Created through student activism, community involvement, and encountering years of challenges, Black Studies remains one of the oldest Black Studies departments in the country. This traveling exhibit highlights important moments in the department’s history including its origins in the 1960s, institutional conflict, and triumphs of a thriving department. The physical exhibit is in the foyer of the Omaha/Douglas Civic Center for the month of February. Items reproduced in this exhibit are primary sources - items made during specific time periods. The materials may refer to individuals, groups, and events in ways that may be considered upsetting, offensive, or obscene today. Cultural heritage repositories such as archives, libraries, and museums are not neutral spaces and should not be considered unbiased authorities of historical data. This traveling exhibit was curated by Claire Du Laney, UNO Libraries Outreach Archivist, and researched in part by Paul Jensen, UNO Libraries student worker. Support has been provided by UNO's Strategic Investment in Social Justice, Inequality, Race and Class initiatives, UNO Criss Library and the UNO Department of Black Studies. This exhibit is funded in part by Humanities Nebraska and the Nebraska Cultural Endowment.
