Field trip to the Barbara Jordan collection


LISSA and the UNT Department of Library and Information Sciences joined in the celebration of Black History month with TSU in our field trip this Saturday. Bernard Forrester, TSU archivist and coordinator of special collections, welcomed us to the archives and lectured as we explored the amazing Barbara Jordan collection, the traditional African art collection, and the TSU archives. Bernard also shared about his trip to the inauguation in January, and reviewed the exhibits of memorabilia from the inauguration and exhibits celebrating the 100-year anniversary of the NAACP.

Thanks to all who participated!


Your friendly LISSA officers
