Local College Library Presents Film in Honor of Black History Month


South Texas College’s Department of History, in conjunction with the STC Library, has a variety of activities scheduled throughout the month of February to celebrate Black History Month. Admission to all events and activities is free and open to the public.

In addition to distinguished speakers, a series of films will be shown at the college’s Pecan, Mid-Valley and Starr County campus libraries. The schedule is as follows:

Starr County Campus Library:

Two displays are currently on view at the college’s Pecan Campus Library. On the first floor, a book display features a wide assortment of titles that explore the African-American experience in all of its rich variety and complexity. In the Rainbow Room, a display of posters commemorates milestones in the Civil Rights Movement.


The month-long celebration was made possible in part by a grant from Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. For more information about the events contact Chris Davis at 956-872-2275 or at crdavis@southtexascollege.edu.
