BLACK HISTORY MONTH AT MCKEE LIBRARY McKee Library has partnered with SAU’s Student Association to create a dynamic display of books and films in honor of Black History Month.
SA President Phillip Warfield approached the librarians at McKee Library to create a partnership in order to promote awareness of Black History Month.
Warfield explained that, “As an AfricanAmerican myself, my wish is that we take time to understand African American/Black culture and its impact.” All are encouraged to check out a book or DVD from McKee Library’s Black History Month display, located on the library’s main floor. This display includes a variety of works by prominent African American authors and poets, award winning films and documentaries, and children’s books.

Throughout the story, Angel discovers the power of God’s love and grace. “Just because you don’t believe in the Lord doesn’t mean his power isn’t working for you.”
