For Black History Month this year the theme as decided by The Association for the Study of African American Life and History (who founded Black History Month) is African-Americans and Labor. “The theme, “African Americans and Labor,” intends to encourage broad reflections on intersections between Black people’s work and their workplaces in all their iterations and key moments, themes, and events in Black history and culture across time and space and throughout the U.S., Africa, and the Diaspora. Like religion, social justice movements, and education, studying African Americans’ labor and labor struggles are important organizing foci for new interpretations and reinterpretations of the Black past, present, and future. Such new considerations and reconsiderations are even more significant as the historical forces of racial oppression gather new and renewed strength in the 21st century.”
This year, we thought it important here at Lesley Library to highlight some amazing Black authors and stories, fiction and biographical. Do you have a favorite Black author? Have you read anything recently that we should add to our collection? Tell us in the comments.

Seen and unseen, there are so many new things we can all learn as we highlight Disability Pride Month this July☀️🍃! Here at Lesley Library, we like to use the monthly themes to focus on a topic and try our best to grab as many resources (books, films, authors, events, etc.) as possible in our collection, within your grasp, so that we can all grow together as a community. This month is no different than any month, but in addition to resources we will be highlighting the faces and movements that have paved the way to how we as a society understand accessibility and much more! The achievements, movements, and current activists who are paving the way for generations to come! Do you have any change makers you would like to see us highlight this month?

Disability visibility : first-person stories from the Twenty-first century edited by Alice Wong
Today we highlight Judy Heumann. “Judy Heumann was an internationally recognized advocate for the rights of disabled people. She was widely regarded as ‘the mother’ of the Disability Rights Movement. In 1977, Judy was a leader in the historic 504 Sit-In in San Francisco. This 26-day protest (the longest sit-in at a federal building to date) led to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act being signed into law. Judy was instrumental in the development and implementation of other legislation including the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. These pieces of legislation have been integral in advancing the inclusion of disabled people in the US and around the world.” Check more out here https://judithheumann.com/project
“Our anger was a fury sparked by profound injustices. Wrongs that deserved ire. And with that rage we ripped a hole in the status quo.” from Being Heumann : An Unrepentant Memoir of a Disability Rights Activist by Judy Heumann

Our final highlight for the month is Frida Kahlo. “Mexican artist Frida Kahlo is remembered for her self-portraits, pain and passion, and bold, vibrant colors.

Kahlo, who suffered from polio as a child, nearly died in a bus accident as a teenager. She suffered multiple fractures of her spine, collarbone and ribs, a shattered pelvis, broken foot and a dislocated shoulder. She began to focus heavily on painting while recovering in a body cast.” Find more here at https://www.fridakahlo.org/
“I'd like to paint you, but there are no colors, because there are so many, in my confusion, the tangible form of my great love. F” from The Diary of Frida Kahlo : An Intimate Self-Portrait by Frida Kahlo

Welcome back to Lesley for another glorious semester!📚In the past when September rolled around we celebrated this month as Freedom To Read Month, but this year we thought it would be nice to get back to the basics on why this month is so important to libraries, to our society. September typically holds Banned/Challenged Book Week, this year September 18 - 28, which is just a week set aside to highlight books that have been censored or completely removed from libraries and school across the world.
Libraries are typically beacons of free speech and freedom of expression so we truly want to be able to model our mission by putting a spotlight on some titles that history has sought to stifle.
Why do you think most of these books were banned or challenged? Who typically are the authors? Do you wish you were able to read a book that was unavailable at your school or library? Is there a classic or new banned book that you have read that has impacted your life? Please let us know in the comments.
Challenged for “LGBTQIA content”
