Description
An account of the resource
This image taken by Bernard J. Kleina depicts civil rights leader, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at an event during the Chicago Freedom Movement. In this image, Dr. King, Jr. appears to be preparing to deliver a speech of some sort. King, Jr. is known for his prominent delivery of speeches during the civil rights period, but rarely were they documented in color; making this image a rarity for most. In this photo, Dr. King, Jr. can be seen with a subtle smirk, looking down at the podium. In front of him are a variety of microphones, and behind are several African American spectators.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>Prior to the gains made during the Civil Rights movement, library schools, like other educational institutions, were typically segregated based on race. Filling the void created when the Hampton Institute (now known as Hampton University) School of Library and Information Services closed in 1941, Atlanta University opened its own School of Library and Information Services. The program would later be known as the Clark Atlanta University School of Library and Information Studies when Atlanta University merged with Clark College in 1989. Though CAU’s School of Library and Information Studies closed its doors in 2005, the Archives Research Center (ARC) at the Atlanta University Center (AUC) Robert W. Woodruff Library houses several collections showcasing the contributions to the field of librarianship made by faculty and staff at the AUC as well as prominent black librarians outside the AUC. The first director of the AUC Robert W. Woodruff Library (and namesake of the library’s Exhibitions Hall), <a href="http://findingaids.auctr.edu/repositories/2/resources/66" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virginia Lacy Jones</a> was the second African American to earn a doctorate in Library Science from the University of Chicago. Working alongside Jones at Atlanta University’s School of Library and Information Service was <a href="http://findingaids.auctr.edu/repositories/2/resources/141" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hallie B. Brooks</a> who taught at AU for 47 years. Other prominent black librarians featured throughout ARC collections include: Dorothy Porter, who built Howard University’s Moorland-Spingarn Research Center into the world-class research institution it is today, Sadie Peterson Delaney, a pioneer in bibliotherapy who served as chief librarian of the Veterans Administration Hospital in Tuskegee, AL for 34 years, and Arna Wendell Bontemps, head librarian at Fisk University and noted Harlem Renaissance figure.</p>
<p>If you’d like to explore these collections further, contact the Archives Research Center at archives@auctr.edu to make an appointment, and stay tuned for our upcoming exhibit on the history of AUC’s library school.</p>

The Alchemist’s Notebook:
The Satire, Remixes, and Haunts of Black Kirby
Description
An account of the resource
Suspend your disbelief with me for a moment.
Imagine the alchemists at work in their lair. Watch as they use a set of rusty tools to handle raw, crude materials and melt them down to more malleable forms. As they carefully mix the isolated substances together, listen as they whisper a forgotten tongue from a dusty leather-bound notebook. When the ritual is over and the notebook has been cast aside into the shadows, you witness the substance start to stir. As it twists and turns in the immense heat, you smell the stench of a hot fusion that breathes life into a new creation, indeed a new element, that has never existed before.
This new element is the art of Black Kirby, and this exhibition provides a peek into their notebook of esoteric spells.
Black Kirby—the pseudonym assumed by the acclaimed visual artists and professors John Jennings and Stacey Robinson—are Alchemists. They take raw materials from black history, hip hop, and comic book mythology and remix them to create new universes, never-before seen technologies, and biting satires about the world we live in today. Each of the Black Kirby images serves as a funky rare artifact from an alternate universe, fully formed, and autonomous from its earthly origins.
However, sourced from the Archives Research Center collections, this exhibition investigates these origins by patching together the real-world historical influences eluded to in Black Kirby’s pieces. While the list of the full ingredients in Black Kirby’s cauldron remains a tightly guarded secret, a glimpse in the alchemist’s notebook will help illustrate the historical narratives and traditions in conversation with their work.
