Special Collections is pleased to present a new exhibit for Spring 2009 called "Creating Community: African Americans in San Diego." The African-American community in San Diego initially consisted of a small group of geographically scattered individuals and families. Gradually, San Diego's African Americans built thriving social, cultural, educational, political, and religious communities. This exhibit celebrates San Diego's African-American history by drawing upon archival collections, including the Leon Williams Papers, the Carlin Integration Case Records, the Reverend George Walker Smith Papers, the Alpha Pi Boule Records, and many others. The President's Leadership Fund generously sponsored this exhibit, which will be on display in the Donor Hall in Love Library beginning January 22nd.
