The
African-American Mosaic Exhibition @ the Library of
Congress
The exhibit covers only four areas --Colonization,
Abolition, Migrations, and the WPA-- of the many covered
by the Mosaic. These topics were selected not only because
they illustrate well the depth, breadth, and richness of
the Library's black history collections, but also because
of the significant and interesting interplay among them.
